Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has faulted the Federal Government’s plan to try military officers accused of plotting a coup against President Bola Tinubu before a court martial, insisting that the offence is criminal in nature and must be prosecuted under the Criminal Code Act.
Papers News reports that Falana made this known in a statement released from Lagos, reacting to last week’s confirmation by the Defence Headquarters that some military officers, along with civilian collaborators, had plotted to overthrow the Tinubu administration in October 2025.
