Actor Reveals Father's Death Sentence Over Coup Plot

Daniel Etim-Effiong, a Nollywood actor, shared a painful chapter from his family's past regarding his father, Colonel Mose Effiong. Colonel Effiong was arrested in connection with an alleged coup aimed at removing Ibrahim Babangida from power.

The situation escalated when Colonel Effiong was implicated after a friend reported the alleged plot. Following a trial, he was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad.

However, instead of execution, Colonel Effiong was spared, which left a significant impact on the family and shaped Etim-Effiong's early life.
