Military Uncovers Plot Against Tinubu: Senior Officers Face Court-Martial for Treason


​-By Ruben Mario Brodrick 

ABUJA — The Nigerian military high command has officially confirmed the discovery of a subversive plot to overthrow the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a move to preserve constitutional order, several high-ranking officers—ranging from Captains to Brigadier-Generals—are set to face trial before a military court-martial.

​The Investigation & Findings

​The decision follows an intensive probe by a special investigative panel tasked with looking into the conduct of personnel detained over the alleged conspiracy.

​On Monday, Major-General Samaila Uba, Director of Defence Information, confirmed that the investigation is now complete. The panel’s report concludes that a group of officers engaged in activities "inconsistent with the ethics, values, and professional standards" of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN).

​Key Highlights of the Military Statement:

  • ​Scope of the Plot: The probe specifically identified allegations of a plot to overthrow the current government.
  • ​Legal Action: Indicted officers will be formally arraigned under the Armed Forces Act and relevant service regulations.
  • ​Commitment to Order: Major-General Uba emphasized that these actions are purely disciplinary, intended to maintain the "operational effectiveness and loyalty" of the military.
  • ​Transparency: The military high command stated that making the probe public is a step toward ensuring accountability and respect for due process.

    • ​"The findings identified a number of officers with allegations of plotting to overthrow the government, which is incompatible with the core values of the Armed Forces." — Major-General Samaila Uba


    ​The Road Ahead

    ​While the military has not released the specific names of the accused, the involvement of a Brigadier-General suggests the investigation reached deep into the upper echelons of the service. The upcoming court-martial will be a defining moment for the AFN as it seeks to reaffirm its allegiance to the democratic process and the Nigerian Constitution.

In an event that has left the congregation of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, Boji-Boji Agbor, in a state of shock and solemn reflection, the beloved cleric breathed his last while performing his final earthly duty: presiding over the New Year Day Mass. ​Witnesses recount that Father Chukwuma was standing at the pulpit, delivering the message of hope for the year 2026, when he collapsed in the presence of his parishioners. Despite the immediate efforts of those present, it became clear that the veteran priest had finished his race.
