The Nigerian Military on Friday, inaugurated a general court-martial to try 36 personnel accused of involvement in an alleged coup plot to overthrow the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The court-martial, constituted by the Defence Headquarters (DHQ), was inaugurated at the Scorpion Mess, Asokoro, Abuja, under heavy security.
Due to the high-profile nature of the proceedings, the session was held behind closed doors as journalists, including accredited defence correspondents who had received prior invitations, were denied access to the venue.
NOP NIGERIA gathered that security personnel also barred the use of mobile phones to document the arrival of the 36 defendants, who were transported to the mess in an Army Headquarters Garrison bus at approximately 8:53 a.m.
