Amandi, a director and former Chairperson Enugu State Chapter ,Actors Guild of Nigeria, has been arrested for his involvement in an alleged coup plot to overthrow President Bola Ahmed Tinubu last year.
The actor’s last Instagram post was on 19 September, shortly before his arrest.
This is the first time the actor’s alleged role in the alleged coup plot is being made public.
This publication gathered that the actor was hired to play the role of a propagandist by the alleged coupists who planned to assassinate top government officials last year.
The officers allegedly planned a violent takeover in which the top government officials were marked for elimination.
Government sources briefed on the plot told this publication last year that the alleged plotters planned to assassinate President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shetima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, among others.
On Monday, the Defence Headquarters confirmed the plan to illegally oust the Tinubu administration, saying the indicted officers will be arraigned before military judicial panels.
In its statement, the Defence Headquarters said the investigation has been completed and forwarded to “appropriate superior authority in line with extant regulations.”
According to the military, the investigation was “comprehensive” and conducted in line with established procedures, examining “all circumstances surrounding the conduct of the affected personnel.”
