Reports of an alleged plot by some military personnel to overthrow President Bola Tinubu’s administration have triggered outrage among Nigerians, with senior lawyers, civil society groups and retired generals warning against any attempt to subvert democracy.
The Defence Headquarters also dismissed the reports, saying there was no coup-related detention or plan within the military.
The Director, Defence Media Operations, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, told Sunday PUNCH that the Armed Forces were unaware of any coup plot.
He also claimed that no new update had been issued since the earlier statement on the arrest of some officers.
