Coup Scare: DSS and Selective Use of State Power
Coup d'états are not an alien phenomenon to Nigeria, with the country experiencing at least six successive coups since its independence.
The imprint of these coups remains visible on the foundation and structure of the nation, long after the men in uniform have been sent packing from the corridors of power.
A recent report emerged in the media that seventeen military officers have been detained over involvement in a plot to overthrow the President Tinubu government.
No comment from the government has been released regarding the coup plot.
Nigeria's history of coups has been marked by the use of state power to execute and justify these actions.
