The Federal High Court in Abuja commenced a trial-within-trial on Tuesday concerning six individuals accused of conspiring to overthrow the administration of President Bola Tinubu. This procedural step aims to assess the voluntariness of statements reportedly made by the defendants to military investigators. The court will evaluate claims that these statements were obtained through duress, coercion, torture, or inducement, as asserted by the defendants. The outcome of this trial-within-trial is crucial for determining the admissibility of the statements in the ongoing case.
