Nollywood filmmaker and actor Stanley Amandi has been taken into custody over his alleged involvement in a failed plan to topple President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, according to emerging reports.
Amandi, a veteran director and former chairman of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Enugu State Chapter, was arrested in September 2025 alongside several military officers accused of coordinating the purported plot.
Sources familiar with the investigation revealed that Amandi was allegedly contracted to serve as a propagandist for the group, which reportedly planned targeted attacks on senior government officials as part of a wider scheme to destabilize the administration.

His last public activity on social media was an Instagram post shared on 19 September 2025, days before his arrest.
