Ex-President Jonathan Trapped in Guinea Bissau Amid Military Seizure

Former Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan was among foreign election observers trapped in Guinea Bissau after a sudden military takeover halted the country's electoral process. The military seized control, leading to panic among foreign observers, including Jonathan, who were unable to leave as borders were closed.

The situation escalated as two main presidential contenders claimed victory, with reports of opposition leaders being detained. Jonathan shared updates on social media, confirming his safety but inability to leave.

The military faction imposed a curfew and suspended the vote count, causing political instability in Guinea Bissau.
