In the midst of the alleged coup plot, whether true or not, it is clear that some military officers have been arrested. What matters now is that we demand a fair, open, and transparent process.
Nigeria has seen far too many secret trials and politically motivated accusations of coup plots in the past. If justice is to mean anything, the public deserves the truth, not another show of force or scapegoating.
Let the facts speak openly, let every accused person have access to legal counsel, and let the process restore faith, not fear, in the rule of law.
