● Commander Holds Emergency Meetings With Tinubu, Gbajabiamila
The Presidential Guards Brigade in Nigeria has been placed on high alert due to suspicions of a coup plot, SaharaReporters gathered.
Unusual movements within the armored corps have raised concerns and prompted emergency meetings between the Commander of the Presidential Guards Brigade, Col. Adebisi Onasanya, President Bola Tinubu, and Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila.
The economic hardship in Nigeria, including rising inflation and the high cost of living, has led to tension in the country. General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, recently warned against calls for a coup and emphasized the military’s commitment to protecting Nigeria’s democracy.
In recent years, various African countries have experienced an increase in coups, often occurring in poorer nations facing insurgency or lacking legitimacy among their leaders. Nigeria has had a history of coups but has achieved greater stability since the introduction of democratic elections in 1999.”
