How Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu Killed Sir Ahmadu Bello and His First Wife, Hafsatu, and Laughed For the Camera Thereafter



The following persons planned the January 15, 1966 coup:

Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-Igbo from the Midwest Region.
Major Chris Anuforo-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Don Okafor-Igbo from Eastern Region.
Major Adewale Ademoyega-Yoruba from Western Region.

Of these people, only Major Adewale Ademoyega did not take part in the killings. Please find below the names and regions of the people they killed, and you decide whether or not the coup was one-sided.

1. Sir Ahmadu Bello-Fulani from Northern Region.
2. Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa-Gere from Northern Region.
3. Samuel Ladokr Akintola-Yoruba from Western Region.
4. Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh-Itsekiri from the Midwest Region.
5. Hafsatu Bello (wife of Sir Ahmadu Bello)-Fulani from Northern Region.
6. Mrs Latifat Ademulegun (Brigadier Ademulegun's wife, who was eight months pregnant)-Yoruba from Western Region.
7. Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun-Yoruba from Western Region.
8. Brigadier Zakariya Maimalari-Kanuri from Northern Region.
9. Colonel Kur Mohammed-Kanuri from Northern Region.
10. Colonel Ralph Shodeinde-Yoruba from Western Region.
11. Lt. Colonel Abogo Lagerma-Marghi from Northern Region.
12. Lt. Colonel James Pam-Jos native from Northern Region.
13. Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe-Igbo from Eastern Region.
14. Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke-Yoruba from Western Region.
15. Police Constable Philip Lewande-Minority from Northern Region.
16. Police Corporal Akpan Anduka-Efik from Eastern Region.
17. Police Corporal Hagai Lai-Minority from Northern Region.
18. Police Corporal Yohana Garkawa-Minority from Northern Region.
19. Lance Corporal Musa Nimzo-Minirity from Northern Region.
20. Ahmed Pategi-Minority from Northern Region.
21. Zarumi Sardauna-Minority from Northern Region.

Now, out of a total of 21 people killed by the January 15, 1966 coup plotters, only Lt. Colonel Arthur Unegbe was an Igbo, and the reason he was killed was because he was the QuarterMaster-General, Army Headquarters, Lagos, and therefore was in charge of the armoury.

When Major Chris Anuforo went to his house to demand the keys to the armoury, he refused and was shot. He was NOT on the original list of people to be killed.

Exactly a year ago today, Major Chris Anuforo's daughter emailed me a threat to my life, and I disregarded it but published her email. And then, two days after her threat, a gentleman with an accent that betrayed his accent traced me to my jogging route and threatened me. I am undeterred.

As long as some people keep trying to twist the truth, people like me will expose the facts. And if you kill us, our children will take our place to prevent you from spinning a false narrative.

Half truth is more dangerous than a lie.

They were only following Ironsi and zik order on who to kill and not to be killed.

I thought chukwuma Nzeogwu was from the Midwest.why is no one talking about it


Atom kpera from Benue us not mentioned.

At this moment, Kaduna Nzeogwu is an Igbo man from Delta State. But the moment Nigeria wants to steal Delta resources, they will tell those guys from Anioma that they are not Igbos. Hypocrisy can never build a country.

The list of the core plotters above is not accurate. Below are the names of the guys that actually plotted the coup as provided by Police special branch :

Major Emmanuel Arinze Ifeajuna,
Major Chukwuemeka Kaduna Nzeogwu,
Major Chris Anuforo,
Major Tim Onwutuegwu,
Major Chudi Sokei,
Major Adewale Ademoyega,
Major Don Okafor,
Major John Obieno,
Captain Ben Gbuli,
Captain Emmanuel Nwobosi,
Captain Chukwuka
Lt. Oguchi.

The leader of the coup was Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna and not Kaduna Nzeogwu.

See the people who claimed tgey are looking for Southern yoonity

The only thing they know about our neigbours is to tell lies, deceit & propaganda against our brothers from the East.

Rewriting history so that the Northerners will hate our brothers since the Northerners have sworn that Tinubu must be taught a lesson in 2027.

This is what Löw breeds are known for, deceitfully thinking that when they tell lies about our formidable brothers from the East, the Northerners will forgive Tinubu & supporrt him in 2027

What you are seeing on Nairaland today with the Revision of history is a calculated attempt by these Set of creatures to Northerners to find a way of diminishing the heat which the Northerners are planning against Tinubu.

They have seen that my our people from the SS & SE, MB, & presently the North are all against Tinubu returning in 2027, so the only way to build bridges with Northerners to to go back in 1966 to tell lies & rewrite history.

please where did yorubas ever tell u they were looking for southern unity?

Ademoyega was included in their coup plot to conceal the main ethnic agenda.. he didn't kill anyone in the January 15, 1966 coup d'etat. Unfortunately all the Igbo coupists had a field day killing non-Igbos from Premiers of North and West to Civilians and Military officers.. This explains the vengance that led to killing of Aguiyi Ironsi just 6 months into his Military dictatorship and indiscriminate killing of other Igbos in the Military and Igbo civilians living in the North.

The same trait can be seen in the Igbos of present day.. See how Kanu was busy ordering his followers to attack another region, asking them to attack Tinubu, destroy all his investments in Lagos and kill Yoruba pastors.. for what reason I ask?
Has any Yoruba man ruled Abia State or what exactly is the connection?.. they will open their mouths to say Tinubu and Yoruba pastors are corrupt but all the past thieves that governed Igboland most especially Abia State where Kanu hails from are saints.

Yorubas dey fall hand honestly.. fo0l me twice and I will never be wise again.

Yet nobody keeps of the people killed during the July 1966 coup.

Nobody keeps of the people killed during the civil war.

Nobody keeps of the other coups organised by people from one section of the country.

Let the hate continue!

Did you expect the counter coup to be civil in their approach in seizing power from an ethnic dominated junta that came into power via selective killings?

The trust in comradeship in the army was destroyed following the first coup and there were genuine fears that the surviving non Ibo officers and men would sooner or later be purged from the military.

Note that ibos formed the bulk of the officer corps and there was no room for niceties by the northern mutineers.

What transpired after Jan 15 was simply the fallout from FAFO -fck around , find out.

Every coup or revolution in a multiethnic country has at its core an ethnic agenda .

The Fulani led Islamist revolution saw to Fulani seizing power for themselves .

In Tsrarist Russia, the Bolsheviks were overwhelmingly Jewish and the Communist state that was birthed from that bloody insurection saw to Jews controlling most of the political and security apparatus.

The Jan 15 coup was no different .


The Ademoyagu guy was and remains a useful idiot.

let me make it clear

Yorubas never wanted any unity with u n never needed any unity with u Igbos n I don't see anywhere any Yoruba chieftain came to meet u Igbos for unity, in fact lately they distance themselves from u people so don't feel important by presenting it that yorubas need your unity

Sunday igboho made it clear he doesn't have anything to do with Igbos

Every sane Yoruba person avoid Igbos, nobody needs your 5% rubbish

All your opposition with your 5% voted didn't stop Buhari for good 2 tenures n it didn't stop tinubu

It has been crystal clear that a president can emerge without Igbo so what's d noise about?

3 election winners have emerged without Igbo so what's d noise about

Fuckkk u n your southern unity, we don't need u

Godwin4444:

At least u mentioned south south, south east, middle bet n north?

So don't b a coward n tell us the people looking for southern unity

So you have seen it. My question to you is are you a yoruba man ? Did you see yoruba in my comment ?

If you are not a born coward, answer thise question since you saw yoruba in my comments. Don't behave like those who need permission to sight the moon

u are d coward cos u no get mind to mention Yoruba

U mentioned north, south south n south east, every sane person knows Yoruba of south west are next but u no get d mind to mention them so that's y I put it to u to tell us where yorubas came to beg inconsequential nitwits like u Igbos for unity

They are the real unity beggers.

Ignore them.

AntiZikist:


They are the real unity beggers.

Ignore them.

don't mind those idiots

They always want to make themselves important by smuggling themselves into reasonable discussion, who needs an hatefilled Igbo when d best he can do is to provide an inconsequential 5% vote that takes u nowhere n na him go make noise

Buhari won first n 2nd term without Igbo
Tinubu won election without Igbo so it's crystal clear a president can emerge with from this noisemakers

So y are they making useless n annoying noise?

See d fool saying someone is begging him for unity when they themselves are d real unity beggars.

See how ikwere keep avoiding them n making it clear they ain't Igbos but still they went to make an ikwere man ohaneze president so they can rivers state to Igbo by force

Shameless swines

Everyone in Nigeria knows the real cowards from the South. Those who needs permission as lower breeds to sight the moon.

I am a Yoruba

Now to the issue of coward

Let me take u down memory lane n after everything we all will know who is d coward between yorubas n Igbos

3 million Igbos were killed like fowls n still nothing happened, Nigeria moved on.

As if that wasn't enough see how Buhari nearly exterminate u Igbos with

Python dance
Crocodile tears
Still waters
Golden dawn n co with each operation killing at least 500 Igbos n nothing happened.

What did u Igbos do?

When every region needed presidency they brought different ideas n they were given n Igbos brought their n they were beaten

Yoruba brought OPC b had presidency
South south brought militants n had presidency
North brought boko haram n had presidency
Igbos brought ipob n get killed n all their children locked up without any repercussions

See how other tribes are handled b how u Igbo cowards are handled

Imagine wike slapped a whole tribe in broad daylight by rigging election n nothing happened, he even went on live TV to call u social media tribe n nothing happened

Imagine a PDP man dealt with Igbos n he got rewarded by APC, he was rewarded for dealing with Igbos.

Imagine all other warlords of different regions were made kings n given contracts but only Igbo warlords are jailed

Asari dokubo is now a king
Ayiri is now a king
Tompolo had a multibillion naira contract
Gani Adams had a multibillion naira contract

But nnamdiot kanu n ekpa are in different prisons

Oya tell me who the cowards are?
