It alleged that some officers had planned to destabilise the country and throw it into chaos.

In a statement read out on television on Wednesday evening, the authorities said some arrests had been made and they were actively pursuing other suspects, without giving specific details.

It said the alleged perpetrators “had the sinister intention of attacking the institutions of the republic and plunging the country into chaos”.

Earlier on Tuesday,  the authorities suspended the French-language news magazine Jeune Afrique, accusing it of publishing articles discrediting the armed forces.
