President Muhammadu Buhari Sunday morning got a comprehensive briefing on the coup attempt to oust President Umaru Sissoco Embalo of Guinea-Bissau, but which was aborted by loyalist forces.

On the sidelines of the African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government holding in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the Nigerian 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.

“They attempted to kill President Embalo. They destroyed the presidential palace with bazookas, killed 11 young people. It took about five hours to restore order. It was a nightmare ,” she said.

President Buhari pledged to consult with other ECOWAS leaders on how full normalcy could be restored to the embattled country at the shortest possible time.

[s]Let's not deceive ourself no country wants to be like Nigeria, we have no security, a crashing economy, bad infrastructure, bad health care, poor education, no freedom of speech and worst of all a corrupt government.
It's pains me when I see other countries that has little resources compare to Nigeria already progressing.
I blame Nigerians though, an average cares more about what will be his next meal than what's his future will be like.
there is a retired policeman in my area, after his retirement that's when it dawn on him that police brutality is real, why must it always be like that.
Let's not deceive ourselves Nigeria nor be country were person one come. Togo is even better than Nigeria
Instead of deceiving ourselves why don't we try and fix the problem[/s]
