The Defence Intelligence Agency has reportedly declared a former Nigerian Navy Commodore, Kunle Olawunmi wanted.

He is wanted for exposing in an interview how the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration refused to probe high profile politicians whom Boko Haram terrorists named as their sponsors.

The DIA asked Olawunmi to come to its headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday with his international passport, which may be seized.

The Defence Intelligence Agency is the primary military intelligence agency of Nigeria.

The agency has declared retired Navy Commodore Kunle Olawunmi wanted for spilling the beans over Boko Haram sponsors in the Buhari regime. They asked him to come with his international passport on Tuesday to the DIA office in Abuja,” a top source told Sahara Reporters.

Olawunmi spoke on Wednesday last week when he featured on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme.

He had condemned Tuesday’s attack by  bandits on the Kaduna campus of the Nigerian Defence Academy, where two military officers were killed and another kidnapped.

The Professor of Global Security Studies had said,

“It is an aberration; you don’t attack the Nigerian Defence Academy and get away with it. In 2017, I carried out an investigation by the Minister of Defence that wanted me to check what was going on with the training and the security there (NDA). I remember I spent about a week in the NDA with the commandant and the staff but something struck me: every Friday, the gate of NDA is thrown open and everybody has access to pray in the mosque.

“On Fridays, you are going to see the same thing happening across all military formations in the country. If you go to Defence Headquarters, I served at the Defence Headquarters as the Deputy Director, Defence Administration, between 2015 and 2017, throughout my two years at Defence Headquarters, I received visitors twice because of the strict security architecture there but every Friday, the gate of the Defence Headquarters is thrown wide open for everybody to come in and observe Juma’at.

“That is the time the terrorists have the time to profile our security environment. It has always been the case. I have served the military intelligence for the past 35 years. Our problem is religion and socio-cultural.”
