Military set up court martial for soldiers involved in alleged coup plot to remove Tinubu
The Nigerian military has constituted a General Court Martial to try 36 personnel accused of participating in an alleged plot to topple the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The Defence Headquarters inaugurated the panel on Friday at the Scorpion Mess in Asokoro, Abuja, amid heavy security presence.
The proceedings were conducted behind closed doors owing to the sensitive nature of the case.
IDOMA VOICE reports that journalists, including accredited defence correspondents who had been invited, were denied entry into the venue.
Security operatives also prohibited the use of mobile phones as the defendants arrived in an Army Headquarters Garrison bus at about 8:53 a.m.
The military trial is running concurrently with separate criminal proceedings initiated by the Federal Government against civilians allegedly connected to the same plot at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
