Nigerian Military Detains Officers Over Alleged Coup Plot
At least 16 Nigerian military officials, including 5 majors and 4 lieutenants, have been detained over an alleged coup plot to overthrow the government. The detained officers belong to various branches of the military, with some being part of the Nigerian Defence Academy training courses.
The plot reportedly involved plans to assassinate top government officials, including President Bola Tinubu and other prominent figures. The coup attempt was uncovered in late September, leading to a series of investigations and disciplinary measures within the military ranks.
This incident has resulted in a significant shakeup in the military high command.
