Zekeri Umoru, one of the suspected coup plotters, on Wednesday said discussions were held on switching off the electricity supply to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to aid the alleged coup targeted at President Bola Tinubu and other top government officials.
Mr Umoru, a Julius Berger Nigeria Plc employee in the Maintenance Department at the Presidential Villa, spoke in a video evidence played before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He said he warned that such an action would immediately trigger investigations and the detention of workers on duty.
The fourth defendant stated this in the video while being questioned by some members of the Special Investigative Panel (SIP), which first investigated the case.
