In a press statement issued by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, Nigeria revealed that the coup report was received with great dismay and deep concern.
According to Kimiebi, the takeover clearly undermines democratic progress and constitutional order in Guinea-Bissau, and such a decision should not be encouraged.
