<p>The Nigerian military high command has confirmed that a group of its officers plotted to overthrow the government of President Bola Tinubu.</p>
<p>This admission follows a months-long investigation into reports, first emerging in October 2025, that officers from the rank of Captain to Brigadier-General had been arrested and detained by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) over the alleged coup attempt.</p>
<p>The military&#8217;s statement, issued on Monday by the Director of Defence Information, Major-General Samaila Uba, comes in response to a media report detailing how a panel that probed the arrested officers had submitted its findings to the President.</p>

<p>&#8220;The findings have identified a number of the officers with allegations of plotting to overthrow the government which is inconsistent with the ethics, values and professional standards required of members of the AFN (Armed Forces of Nigeria),&#8221; Uba stated.</p>
<p>He announced that &#8220;those with cases to answer will be formally arraigned before an appropriate military judicial panel to face trial in accordance with the Armed Forces Act and other applicable service regulations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Uba explained that the public disclosure was made to ensure accountability while upholding &#8220;the principles of fairness and due process.&#8221; He emphasised that the measures are &#8220;purely disciplinary&#8221; and part of institutional efforts to &#8220;preserve order, discipline and operational effectiveness within the ranks.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Armed Forces remain resolute in maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, loyalty and respect for constitutional authority,&#8221; the statement concluded.</p>
