Nigerian authorities have charged six people with terrorism and treason in connection with an alleged plot to overthrow President Bola Tinubu. Court documents revealed on Tuesday that the government filed 13 criminal charges against the group, who are currently in custody.
The accused include a retired major general, a serving police inspector, and other individuals consisting of civilians and former members of the country's armed forces.
The charges are linked to a failed coup attempt that occurred in October of last year. This legal action follows a separate incident in January where 16 military officers stood trial over another coup attempt against President Tinubu.
