Nollywood filmmaker and actor, Stanley Amandi, has been arrested over his alleged involvement in a plot to violently overthrow the administration of President Bola Tinubu, in what security sources describe as a major breach uncovered through intelligence operations late last year.
Investigations revealed that Amandi, a former chairman of the Enugu State chapter of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), was taken into custody in September 2025 alongside several serving and retired military officers suspected to be central figures in the foiled coup attempt.
