Nigerian Army Arrests General Over Alleged Links to Ali Keffi Amid Legal Battles

The Nigerian Army has detained Brig Gen Gabriel E. Archibong over alleged associations with retired Maj Gen Danjuma Hamisu Ali Keffi.

Ali Keffi, linked to ongoing legal battles with former Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, was appointed head of the Presidential Task Force on terror financing. Archibong's arrest is believed to be connected to his communication with Ali Keffi.

The detainment has raised concerns about its impact on Archibong's career. Allegations of attempts to tarnish the army's image and legal battles are ongoing.
