Popular Nollywood filmmaker, actor and former chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Enugu State, Stanley Amandi is in big trouble.
The actor found himself at the center of controversy following reports of his arrest in connection with an alleged coup plot involving some Nigerian military officers.
The filmmaker was reportedly arrested in September 2025, though details of his alleged role only recently emerged. Sources claim he was recruited by the suspected plotters to act as a propagandist in a scheme allegedly aimed at destabilising President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The Defence Headquarters has confirmed that investigations into the plot have been concluded, noting that implicated officers will face military judicial panels for breaching professional and ethical standards. Civilian suspects, including Amandi, are expected to be tried in civil courts, while military personnel will undergo court-martial proceedings as the case progresses.
