Terror Financing Allegations: Army Arrests Brigadier General Amid Growing Tension.

Published

on

The Nigerian Army has reportedly arrested and detained a serving Brigadier General over alleged links with a retired senior officer, Maj. Gen. Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi (retd.).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to Nivo News, the arrest is believed to be connected to Ali-Keffi’s ongoing legal and public confrontation with a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), over allegations arising from terrorism-financing investigations.

Ali-Keffi, who was appointed in October 2020 by former President Muhammadu Buhari to head the covert Presidential Task Force known as Operation Service Wide, has consistently alleged that suspects arrested by the task force for terrorism financing were later released while in military custody.

Military sources disclosed that the detained officer is Brig. Gen. Gabriel E. Archibong, who has reportedly been in custody for more than ten days and is currently held at the Army’s Special Investigation Bureau. Archibong is said to be a serving officer at the Nigerian Army Training and Doctrine Command in Minna, Niger State.

Sources indicated that the arrest was linked to the frequency of Archibong’s communication with Ali-Keffi and claims that he failed to cooperate fully with military authorities. It was further disclosed that soldiers conducted a search at his residence in Lugbe a day after his arrest, during which his electronic devices were seized, although no incriminating materials were reportedly found.

Concerns have been raised within military circles that the detention could negatively affect the officer’s career and wellbeing, with insiders insisting that he committed no offence.

There are also claims that the development may be tied to efforts by the military to defend itself against a lawsuit filed by Ali-Keffi at the National Industrial Court in Abuja in December 2025. In the suit, Ali-Keffi is challenging his arrest, 64-day detention without charge and compulsory retirement, alleging torture, denial of fair hearing and violations of constitutional and military regulations.

Ali-Keffi further claimed that his detention enabled the release of all terrorism-financing suspects arrested by Operation Service Wide and alleged that he and his family received death threats, forcing them into repeated foreign travel for safety and resulting in severe emotional and financial hardship. He is seeking ₦100 billion in compensatory damages, another ₦100 billion in punitive damages, ₦120 million in special damages, and an order nullifying his compulsory retirement.

The retired general has also disclosed that investigations carried out by his task force, in collaboration with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, uncovered alleged links between terror-financing suspects and senior military officers, financial officials and other government figures. While clarifying that he was not directly accusing the individuals named, Ali-Keffi maintained that investigations connected some of them to the suspects involved.

Peter Obi: ‘Explain What Your Friend Tinubu Has Done For Anambra’ – Kalu Aja To Soludo

Published

on

Financial analyst Kalu Aja has challenged Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo to outline the tangible benefits his state has gained from his close relationship with President Bola Tinubu. In a recent social media post, Aja questioned what the Federal Government has delivered for Anambra under the current administration, specifically pointing out the absence of major federal projects like railway connections for Onitsha, inclusion in the Gas Master Plan, or international status for the Chinua Achebe International Airport—unlike airports in Maiduguri and Uyo.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Furthermore, Aja criticized the administration’s economic track record, claiming that Anambra has failed to attract major greenfield plants, foreign direct investment (FDI), or River Niger dredging projects. While acknowledging that there is nothing wrong with Soludo supporting the President, Aja argued that personal political alliances should yield visible dividends for the state’s citizens rather than empty rhetoric.

Option 2: Bulleted Breakdown (Best for Quick Reading)

Financial expert Kalu Aja has publicly called out Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, demanding proof of any material advantages gained through his alliance with President Bola Tinubu. Key points from his critique include:

  • Infrastructure Deficits: Aja asked whether Onitsha has been linked to the national rail network or if the Onitsha River Port and River Niger dredging have received federal backing.

  • Airport Status: He noted that while airports in Maiduguri and Uyo have received international status, Anambra’s Chinua Achebe International Airport has not been given the same designation.

  • Foreign Investment Lag: Aja alleged that Anambra has recorded zero capital importation/FDI during the period, contrasting it with neighboring states like Abia.

  • Lack of Major Plants: He claimed no global manufacturing, pharmaceutical, or automotive giants have established greenfield plants in the state under Soludo’s tenure.

  • Conclusion: Aja maintained that political loyalty to President Tinubu should translate into development projects for Anambra rather than personal political backing.

Option 3: Punchy & Direct (Best for Social Media Engagement)

“What has your friend in Abuja actually done for Anambra?” Financial analyst Kalu Aja has put Governor Chukwuma Soludo on the spot, questioning the state’s returns from his alliance with President Bola Tinubu. Aja slammed the governor for failing to secure key federal infrastructure—such as rail links to Onitsha, international status for the state’s airport, or federal support for the River Niger dredging. Highlighting a lack of major foreign investments or manufacturing plants, Aja warned that history and voters will judge Soludo by tangible achievements rather than political noise.
