President Muhammadu Buhari spoke with Guinea-Bissau President Umaro Sissoco Embalo immediately after the latter escaped a military coup attempt.
President Muhammadu Buhari congratulated Embalo on surviving the coup attempt and praised the loyal troops in Guinea Bissau for their “spectacular triumph” over the military’s disloyal members.
The President condemned the effort to overthrow Guinea Bissau’s constitutional order and expressed the government and people of Nigeria’s goodwill and support for the Guinea-Bissauans and the Embalo administration.
The aftermath of the strikes revealed the location engulfed in flames with not less than 43 dead bodies of terrorists counted within the vicinity including the body of Alhaji Shingy , the brother of another terrorist called Auta who was also killed by air strikes on 1 January 2022.
While thanking Nigerians for their cooperation , the NAF says it will continue to work with sister agencies until all threats are destroyed.
