Celebrated politician, chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, was the first man to import a bulletproof car into Nigeria in 1964. The car was a Mercedes Benz worth £8,000. Akintola has been described as a political strategist and an orator of note, who rubbed shoulders with the likes of Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and the Cicero of Esaoke, late Chief Bola Ige. He was the 13th Aare Ona Kakanfo XIII of Yoruba, a highly revered traditional title in Yoruba land and also a great politician who was one of the founding of modern Nigeria. S.L.A, as he was popularly called, was born in Ogbomosho, Oyo State on July 6, 1910, to Akintola Akinbola and his mother, Akanke. He was a Baptist Lay Preacher, a Yoruba Fundamentalist, and an Attorney. Akintola was a school teacher, railway worker, humorous scholar, linguist with enviable brilliance. He branched into journalism when he ed the Nigerian Daily Service Newspaper in 1942, from where he rose steadily to become the Editor. He founded “Iroyin Yoruba”, a newspaper written in the Yoruba language. Two years after he imported the country’s first bulletproof car, Akintola was assassinated in Ibadan, in Nigeria’s first military coup of 15th January 1966 which terminated the First Republic. 6 Likes |

He betrayed the Yorubas and died a miserable death. He Samuel Akintola and FFK's father Chief Remi Fani Kayode lead other backbiters to leave Action Group to NCNC. Thereafter, they colluded with Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa to jail Obafemi Awolowo. South-West Nigeria was on fire. The Yorubas will not accept Samuel Akintola and Remi Fani Kayode leadership. Trouble started all over Yoruba land. Then the January 15 boys struck and brought down many political leaders especially those of the North. Chief Remi Fani Kayode actually lead the coup plotters to Samuel Akintola's house and called Akintola out to be killed. After being shot by the coup plotters, Akintola tried to rush back into his room where his juju were kept but the coup plotters did not allow him, he was shot dead. His imported bullet proof car could not help him neither could all the gods and juju in his house. So FFK inherited betrayal and treachery from his father. FFK's father too would have died miserably in that same January 15, 1966 coup but God gave him another chance. By the time the coup plotters got to Ikeja Military Cantonment with Chief Rem Fani Kayode, the coup plotters were over an by the Nigerian Army and Chief Remi Kayode was rescued from the coup plotters. 24 Likes 6 Shares |
