Nigerian Military Dismisses Coup Reports
The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) of the Nigerian military has dismissed reports linking the cancellation of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day parade to an alleged coup.
The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) described the claims as false, misleading, and intended to create unnecessary tension among Nigerians.
The military explained that the parade was cancelled to allow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to attend a strategic bilateral meeting abroad, while also enabling members of the Armed Forces to concentrate fully on ongoing operations against terrorism, insurgency, and banditry.
A statement by Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, Director of Defence Information, conveyed the clarification on Saturday.
