Finance Minister Wale Edun was reportedly taken to London for medical treatment after allegedly collapsing upon seeing a “k+ll list” connected to a suspected coup plot aimed at overthrowing President Bola Tinubu.
A senior government insider claimed, “Edun collapsed upon being shown a k+ll list purportedly prepared by a group of military officers who reportedly were planning to overthrow President Tinubu’s regime in a v+olent manner.
After initially denying that he was flown to London, Edun was sighted in London where he was walking wobbly to an Art Show as a proof of life.”
Two weeks ago, Edun confirmed he had travelled to the UK for medical care, after earlier government denials. His health condition was described by a source as “very serious.”
Meanwhile, SaharaReporters recently reported that military intelligence detained several officers over an alleged coup plot said to have been planned around the October 1 Independence Day period. Although the military claimed the arrests were due to “repeated failure in promotion examinations and perceived career stagnation,” security insiders insisted the detentions were tied directly to a planned overthrow attempt.
Sources said the officers were picked up in coordinated operations after weeks of surveillance, involving personnel from the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
The development has fueled renewed concerns within government circles over internal security, loyalty within the armed forces, and possible power struggles.
The situation surrounding Edun’s health, the alleged coup plot, and internal tension within the military continues to evolve, with officials yet to give a detailed public briefing.
