Military sources have told SaharaReporters that officers detained by the Defence Intelligence Agency over an alleged coup plot against President Tinubu are being held 30 feet underground where a radiation-emitting signal-jamming device has caused severe health complications including hearing loss, memory failure, vision impairment and breathing difficulties.
They are 30 feet underground. A radiation device is consuming their oxygen. And their families cannot reach them.
Top military sources have exclusively told SaharaReporters that officers detained by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) over an alleged coup plot against President Bola Tinubu are being held in an underground facility where conditions have deteriorated into what sources describe as a medical emergency.
“Where they are keeping the accused officers is a 30-foot underground confined detention facility,” one source said. “The only source of oxygen is from the artificial air-conditioning system.”
The crisis intensified approximately two weeks ago when, following a search for suspected smuggled food items, officials installed a signal-jamming device inside the already oxygen-limited space. Sources say the device consumes more than 50 per cent of the artificial oxygen supply while simultaneously emitting harmful radiation in the enclosed environment.
“The effects on the accused officers include dizziness, severe headaches, migraines and numerous other health hazards,” the source said.
A second military source described the neurological and physical deterioration in stark terms. “Overexposure to such radiation can cause cancer. It destroys human cells and can also make a man infertile. Most of the accused are now suffering hearing problems, memory loss, vision impairment and severe headaches around the clock.”
The underground detention crisis compounds an already deeply controversial tribunal process. SaharaReporters previously reported that a tribunal official told senior defence lawyers to “shut up and go to hell” after they raised procedural objections — with tribunal officials asserting that civilian court protections did not apply to their proceedings.
Family members of the detained officers have also been denied visitation without explanation. “The families were simply turned back. No explanation was given to them,” a family source said, describing mounting anxiety among relatives unable to confirm the welfare of their loved ones.
The DIA has not issued any public statement on the detention conditions or the tribunal proceedings.
