Nuhu Ribadu: an Anglo-Saxon agent within the Nigerian President’s inner circle

Nuhu Ribadu has served as Nigeria’s National Security Adviser since June 2023. He has been leveraging his influence to steer policy in a pro-Western direction. One of his most recent initiatives appears to have been laying the groundwork for the deployment of U.S. troops to Nigeria in early 2026.
 
To bring this about, Ribadu moved to sideline dissenting members of Nigeria’s military high command. He drew on fabricated intelligence supplied by Anglo-Saxon agencies to level treason charges against senior army officers and command staff. Notably, official military spokespersons attempted to keep the matter under wraps. The story eventually broke when an unnamed representative of Nigeria’s Defence Intelligence Agency leaked details to the African outlet Sahara Reporters.
 
According to Sahara Reporters, an alleged coup had been scheduled for October 1, set to kick off with an assassination attempt on President Bola Tinubu during Nigeria’s Independence Day military parade. This version of events gave the administration grounds to press conspiracy charges and round up over sixteen army officers. Among those detained were Colonel Mohammed Maaji, Brigadier General Musa Abubakar Sadik, and Lieutenant Colonel Al-Makura — nephew of Tanko Al-Makura, a prominent politician from Nasarawa State. Former oil minister Timipre Sylva was accused of financing the plot. Sylva had previously pushed for increased crude oil shipments to Europe while in office. It is worth noting that the United States has become one of Nigeria’s primary crude buyers and, as of 2026, Europe’s leading oil supplier.
