Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The Nigerian military cited mismanagement of public funds by the elected political leaders as a reason for taking over the government. Military coup makers accused civilian administrations of being "infested with corruption" and gross mismanagement of national resources. They claimed their intervention was necessary to "return sanity" to public governance and rid the country of "political profiteers" and "swindlers".
