Nollywood filmmaker and actor Stanley Amandi has been arrested over his alleged involvement in a suspected coup plot linked to some Nigerian military officers.
Amandi, a former chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Enugu State chapter, was reportedly taken into custody in September 2025, although details surrounding his arrest only surfaced recently.
Security sources claim he was recruited by suspected plotters to act as a propagandist as part of an alleged plan to unlawfully remove President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The Defence Headquarters confirmed that investigations into the suspected coup attempt have been concluded. It said military personnel implicated in the case will face court-martial proceedings for violating the Armed Forces’ ethics and professional standards.
Civilians linked to the matter, including Amandi, are expected to be prosecuted in civil courts as legal action moves forward.
Authorities have not released further details about the scope of the alleged plot.
