Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, on Tuesday stated that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, averted coup in Nigeria.

Aregbesola made the declaration at the Osun State House of Assembly in Osogbo, the state capital.

He urged the House to pass a resolution commending Buratai for his thorough professionalism and belief in the current democracy.

The governor also called for a probe into the coup allegation with a view to bringing any erring officer to book.

Recall that Buratai, last week, said he received information that some individuals were approaching some officers and soldiers for political reasons.

Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, Director Army Public Relations, said on the basis of that, Buratai “has warned such persons to desist from these acts”.
