BREAKING: MILITARY COUP PLOT CONFIRMED IN NIGERIA

For months, the Nigerian government denied it.
Now, the truth is officially confirmed.

On January 26, 2026, Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters finally admitted that serving Nigerian military officers plotted to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government—confirming what many suspected since October 2025.

In this video, I break down:

How the alleged coup plot unfolded

Why Nigeria’s Independence Day parade was suddenly cancelled

The arrest of 16 military officers across multiple ranks

The sweeping military leadership reshuffle that followed

How plotters allegedly infiltrated the Presidential Villa

What this means for Nigeria’s democracy and security

The wider “coup contagion” spreading across West Africa

And why this may not be the last coup attempt Nigeria faces

This confirmation comes amid economic hardship, rising insecurity, jihadist violence, and growing political tension ahead of Nigeria’s next election.

Was this simply a failed military coup—or is Nigeria already experiencing a civilian power grab by other means?

If you are Nigerian or follow West African politics, this conversation matters.
