30 Soldiers to Face Trial Over Alleged Coup Attempt in Nigeria

Nigerian authorities are preparing to try 30 soldiers, including senior military officers, for their alleged involvement in a coup attempt. The suspects are accused of collaborating with civilians to plan a violent takeover of the government, targeting several top officials for assassination.

A special investigative panel has been established to probe the incident, with reports suggesting former Bayelsa State Governor Timipre Sylva may be on a wanted list. The soldiers deny any involvement in the coup attempt, while former Minister Julius Bokoru confirms that Sylva was not in Nigeria during the operation.
