Army officers say they are taking power in Gabon

They said they were annulling the results of Saturday's election, in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner.

Military officials later said that Mr Bongo had been placed under house arrest and one of his sons arrested for treason.

His overthrow would end his family's 53-year hold on power in Gabon.

Anyone with more info or knowledge?
