Coup or Cover-Up? Redeployment of Nigerian Army Senior Officers Raises Concerns

Barely a month after news of an alleged coup surfaced, the Nigerian military is experiencing massive and unprecedented major shakeups, especially the redeployment of senior army officers across formations and units.

Over 40 senior army officers have been deployed and reassigned to new assignments under strict supervision, according to sources.

Although the Defense Headquarters and Federal Government have dismissed the claim of a military coup, recent major shakeups in the military prove otherwise.

In early October 2025, a story about an alleged coup plot emerged on social media, sparking controversy.

The alleged coup, which reportedly happened in late September, was set to be executed on October 1, 2025, during the Independence Day parade.

No official statement from the government.

Author summary: Nigerian military faces major shakeups.
