Nigeria’s military said on Monday it will try several officers over a plan to oust President Bola Tinubu last year.
In October 2025, the military said 16 officers had been arrested over “issues of indiscipline.”
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) wishes to inform the general public that investigations into the matter have been concluded,” Major General Samaila Uba, a spokesperson for the Defence Headquarters, said in a statement.
“The findings have identified a number of the officers with allegations of plotting to overthrow the government,” he said.
“Those with cases to answer will be formally arraigned before appropriate military judicial panel to face trial.”
No date was given.
