Full list of 40 suspects detained for alleged coup plot to topple Tinubu’s govt
Following the conclusion of investigations into an alleged coup plot to violently overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, the Nigerian Army has raised 40 suspects now identified in connection with the conspiracy.
ISUIKWUATO VOICE can authoritatively report that the suspects in the alleged coup plot included senior military officers across the armed forces, a police officer, and civilians allegedly involved in reconnaissance, funding, and propaganda operations.
This newspaper has obtained the names of those arrested following a covert intelligence operation coordinated by the Army Headquarters and the State Security Service (SSS).
Our sources said 13 people were apprehended by the SSS, including two military personnel (one retired), one policeman, and 10 civilians, in connection with the alleged plot.
Sixteen military officers were arrested for direct participation, two civilians for reconnaissance. Two for being recruited to incite civil disobedience to justify the coup, and five others in connection with funding channels.
One detained soldier escaped custody but was later rearrested by SSS operatives in Bauchi, according to insider sources.
