Nigerian Army Lance Corporal Alleges Coercion in Coup Case
Lance Corporal Sambo Danladi of the Nigerian Army, attached to the Infantry Corps in Enugu, testified in court about his alleged abduction and coercion to implicate Warrant Officer Nasiru in a coup plot. On September 10, 2025, Danladi recounted that on October 26, 2025, after returning from a special assignment, he was approached by soldiers who claimed the General Officer Commanding (GOC) wanted to see him.
He was handcuffed and blindfolded, then transported to Abuja. Upon arrival, he was detained at the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The following day, Captain Ukpong took his photograph and personal information. Danladi was later questioned by Lieutenant Chima about his identity and his connection to Warrant Officer Nasiru.
Chima pressured him to cooperate with the investigation regarding Nasiru's alleged involvement in a coup plot, which Danladi denied knowledge of. The questioning continued on October 28, with further inquiries about Nasiru's activities.
