The Federal Government of Nigeria has filed a 13-count charge against several individuals accused of plotting to overthrow the democratically elected administration. The charges, filed at the Federal High Court, include allegations of treason, conspiracy, and unlawful possession of firearms.

According to the Federal Ministry of Justice Nigeria, the suspects were arrested following intelligence reports indicating plans to destabilize the government and incite unrest across key regions. Security agencies reportedly uncovered meetings, communication exchanges, and logistical arrangements tied to the alleged plot.

A senior official within the ministry stated that the prosecution is determined to pursue the case diligently to uphold the rule of law and safeguard national security. The suspects are expected to be arraigned soon, where they will enter their pleas.

Legal experts note that treason-related charges carry severe penalties under Nigerian law, including life imprisonment. Meanwhile, civil society groups have called for a transparent judicial process to ensure justice is served without political interference.

The development has heightened security awareness nationwide, with authorities urging citizens to remain calm and report suspicious activities.
