Daniel Bwala, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, says it is not possible to rule out the presence of terrorist agents within Nigeria’s Army and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). Speaking on The Link Up Podcast, hosted by EchoRoom and released on Friday, Bwala responded to a question about whether the military has been infiltrated by people linked to terrorism. He acknowledged that such elements can exist and cited past arrests of army officers and police personnel for alleged links to terrorism as evidence that security forces can be infiltrated. Bwala added that “measures” are being taken, but said he chose not to discuss further details publicly to avoid alerting people or undermining those steps. The comments are presented as a precautionary assessment rather than a specific claim of any newly discovered plot or confirmed infiltration at the time of speaking.

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, Daniel Bwala, has hinted that there may be agents of terrorists in the Nigerian Army and Nigeria Police Force, NPF. Bwala made the remark on The Link Up Podcast, a panel discussion hosted by EchoRoom and published on Friday, while responding to a question on if the military has been infiltrated by agents of terrorism. Noting that such can’t be ruled out, the presidential aide recalled how some army officers and policemen have been arrested over their links to terrorism in Nigeria. Bwala said, “You cannot rule out the facts that they may have one or two agents in the army, anywhere else. “Our police have always been arrested, and soldiers arrested involved in this kind of thing. “This will happen anywhere in the world. Snowden was a contractor to the US national security. These are elements that can happen, and why I didn’t want to talk much on that is because there are measures we’re taking and we don’t want people to know.”
