Christopher Musa, Nigeria’s minister of defence, says military officers arrested over the foiled coup “must have made up their minds” about the consequences.
The 16 implicated officers, including a brigadier general and colonel, were arrested in October 2025, with the defence headquarters (DHQ) issuing a public statement on October 4 initially citing “acts of indiscipline and breaches of service regulations”.
On January 26, the DHQ finally confirmed that there was a plot to oust President Bola Tinubu.
