Nigerian security agencies have reportedly concluded investigations into an alleged coup plot to violently overthrow President Bola Tinubuβs administration, with 40 suspects identified.
Those implicated include senior officers of the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, a police officer, and civilians, allegedly involved in reconnaissance, funding, logistics, propaganda and plans to incite civil unrest.
The investigation, led by the Chief of Defence Intelligence, Emmanuel Undiandeye, has been forwarded to higher authorities, with a court-martial expected pending presidential approval.
Some suspects are reportedly still at large, including a retired major general, while one fleeing suspect was tracked to South America, intelligence sources said.
