A report surfaced alleging a military plan to overthrow President Tinubu's administration, but the Defence Headquarters denied any coup-related activities. Brigadier General Tukur Gusau clarified that the arrest of 16 military officers was due to indiscipline and not a coup plot.
Sahara Reporters claimed the officers were planning to destabilize the government. The Defence Headquarters canceled an Independence Day parade due to coup fears but refuted any direct link to the alleged coup attempt against Tinubu.
