President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday got a comprehensive briefing on the coup attempt to oust President Umaru Sissoco Embalo of Guinea-Bissau.
The attempted coup was, however, aborted by loyalist forces.
Buhari was briefed on the sidelines of the African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government holding in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
A statement by Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adesina, said the President met with Senior Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guinea-Bissau, Suzi Barbosa, “who gave graphic presentation of the attempt to overthrow the constitutional order in her country.”
