- Foreign observers, including former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, were trapped after Guinea-Bissau military officers claimed 'total control' and suspended the electoral process, closing all borders.
- Jonathan left on a special flight with members of his delegation, including Mohamed Chambas, and was safely evacuated back to Nigeria on Thursday.
- Jonathan urged ECOWAS and the African Union to announce collated results, saying their officials were present during tallying and 'They owe the world that responsibility.'
