Nigerian Military Foils Coup Attempt Against President Tinubu, Warns Against Unconstitutional Acts

The Nigerian military has officially confirmed thwarting a coup attempt aimed at toppling President Bola Tinubu's administration. Major General Samaila Uba, the Director of Defence Information, spearheaded the investigation, uncovering a group of officers allegedly plotting the overthrow.

The military stresses the gravity of such actions, citing historical implications and the threat to democracy. The incident, reminiscent of past undemocratic regimes, underscores the need for upholding constitutional processes.

Recent coups in African countries like Madagascar raise concerns about political stability. The military urges caution, emphasizing the importance of maintaining civilian rule and focusing on national security challenges like terrorism.

The high command warns against unconstitutional acts and calls for modernizing the military to fulfill its constitutional duties effectively.
