The Military has announced a takeover of the government following a Coup in Guinea-Bissau.
Newsone Nigeria reports that Military authorities in Guinea-Bissau on Wednesday, November 26, 2027, declared they had assumed full control of the country, suspending all electoral activities and immediately closing national borders.
The development comes just three days after the nation conducted its legislative and presidential elections.
The declaration followed reports of heavy gunfire earlier in the day around the presidential palace in Bissau.
Witnesses said soldiers in uniform moved to secure the main access road leading to the palace, heightening tensions in the politically fragile West African state.
The coup in Guinea-Bissau announcement was delivered from the army headquarters in the capital, where senior military officers read a statement confirming the takeover and outlining the steps being implemented to exercise control.
