Asim Madibo, the former head of the Abuja-based Nigerian Air Force (NAF), has been arrested in Nigeria for allegedly attempting to join a banned group. The arrest comes after he was reportedly spotted in a photograph with a group of individuals who were not members of the NAF.
According to media reports, Madibo was taken into custody by Nigerian police officers during his visit to the country in March. He was released after spending some time in detention before being returned to Nigeria. However, he is currently under investigation by the Federal Criminal Investigation Agency (FCIA) for allegedly trying to join a banned group.
The arrest comes as a shock to many Nigerians who have long believed that the NAF was a legitimate military force serving the nation. Many are also concerned about the potential implications of Madibo's arrest on the security forces and the safety of citizens.
It remains unclear how Madibo will be prosecuted or what impact his arrest may have on the security situation in Nigeria. However, it is clear that there is a growing concern among Nigerians over the increasing number of individuals seeking to join banned groups and organizations, including the NAF. This could have serious consequences for national security and public order.
