EXCLUSIVE: Families Of Detained Alleged Coup Plot Suspects Demand Probe Into Unauthorised Withdrawals, 'Missing' Millions From Their Bank Accounts

EXCLUSIVE: Families Of Detained Alleged Coup Plot Suspects Demand Probe Into Unauthorised Withdrawals, 'Missing' Millions From Their Bank Accounts According to the families, evidence available to them suggests that transactions were carried out on some of the detained officers’ bank accounts without their knowledge or authorisation while they remained in military detention.

The families of detained Nigerian military officers accused of plotting a coup are demanding an independent investigation into unauthorised access and withdrawal of funds from their personal bank accounts while they remain in detention. According to the families, evidence suggests that transactions were carried out on some of the officers' bank accounts without their knowledge or authorization during their military detention.

They believe these alleged unauthorised transactions raise serious concerns about the security of their loved ones' financial information and the conduct of those responsible for their custody. The families called for a thorough investigation to determine how the accounts were accessed and if anyone abused their position to unlawfully obtain sensitive banking information.

They urged authorities to identify and prosecute any culpable individuals, recover unlawfully withdrawn funds, and implement measures to protect the financial assets and personal property of those held in custody.
