Defence Headquarters Denies Arrest of 16 Army Officers Over Alleged Coup Plot Against Tinubu
The Defence Headquarters in Nigeria has denied reports alleging the arrest of 16 army officers for plotting a coup against Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The DHQ clarified that the cancellation of activities during Nigeria's 65th Independence Anniversary was not linked to any coup attempt but was done to enable the President's attendance at strategic bilateral meetings abroad.
The investigation involving the officers is part of routine disciplinary processes and is not politically motivated. The statement reaffirms the military's commitment to upholding professionalism, discipline, and loyalty to the constitution.
