Nigerian Government Accused of Fabricating Coup Plot to Silence Opposition

The Nigerian government, led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is accused of exploiting a fake coup plot to distract from governance failures and target opposition members. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the government for allegedly fabricating the coup story to suppress dissent.

The Defense Headquarters (DHQ) denied the coup rumors and clarified that the reported arrests were related to professional misconduct, not a coup plot. The situation raises concerns about political manipulation and misuse of security forces.
