DHQ names 16 officers for court-martial over alleged plot
Naijapunchnews reports that Falana said the latest disclosure contradicts the military’s earlier position and amounts to misleading the Nigerian public.
The senior advocate spoke on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Tuesday, following the military’s announcement on Monday that some of its personnel would face a military judicial panel over alleged coup-related activities.
In October 2025, the Defence Headquarters announced the arrest of 16 officers for alleged violations of service regulations but denied reports of a coup plot, insisting that the cancellation of the 2025 Independence Day parade was unrelated to any such allegations.
