Nigeria Grants Asylum To Guinea-Bissau Opposition Candidate After Coup | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: Nigeria has intervened in Guinea Bissau's crisis by granting asylum to opposition candidate Fernando Dias at its embassy, following credible threats to his life after a military coup that disrupted elections. Nigeria's foreign minister stated that President Bola Tinubu approved this measure to ensure Dias' safety. The Nigerian government condemned the illegal takeover by the junta, which is described by Dias as a ceremonial coup, asserting that elections were nearly finalized. Meanwhile, a high-level delegation attempted talks with the junta, which remains open to discussions. The military, having seized power, has banned protests and detained numerous opposition figures, creating an atmosphere of tension as regional efforts for constitutional restoration intensify.
