Nigeria Charges Six With Treason

The allegations of a coup plot first surfaced last October when the government abruptly cancelled an Independence Day parade citing security concerns.

Court documents released on Tuesday detail a plan to destabilize the government through coordinated attacks on key infrastructure.

The suspects, who are currently in custody, have also been accused of inciting rebellion and undermining public security via social media.

President Tinubu has vowed to maintain national stability and has ordered a broader investigation into potential foreign links to the plot.
