Nigerian Defence Headquarters Denies Coup Plot Against Tinubu, Investigation Ongoing
The Nigerian Defence Headquarters has refuted claims of a military coup plot against Bola Tinubu's government, describing the reports as false and misleading. President's absence from Independence Day celebrations was due to a bilateral meeting in Europe, not security concerns.
An investigation panel is probing alleged indiscipline among military officials, with 16 officers under scrutiny. Brigadier General Tukur Gusau confirmed the ongoing investigations but did not directly address the coup allegations.
Security concerns within the military prompted the cancellation of the Independence Day parade.
