Key PointsColonel Mohammed Ma’aji says economic hardship and poor governance shaped his concerns about Nigeria.
He says the alleged plan was still at the mobilisation stage when he was arrested.
Ma’aji calls for improved military welfare, remuneration, pensions and stronger anti-corruption measures.
He also claimed that he personally financed much of the alleged plan, while Timipre Silva contributed about N400 million.
Ma’aji denied contacting some senior military officers but said widespread dissatisfaction within the military, alongside his unsuccessful promotion attempts, contributed to the revival of the alleged movement.
