In the wee hours of January 15, 1966, Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu killed Sir Ahmadu Bello and his first wife, Hafsatu, who stood between him and her husband.
This is a lesson to all men about who their first and true love may be.
As Major Nzeogwu was about to shoot the Premier, his two youngest wives stood up and moved away from him, according to accounts of one of his aides, who was there that day.
But as they were moving away from him, Hafsatu was moving towards him.
May Almighty God grant Hafsatu Bello al-Jannah Firdaus and give us wives like her.
I have read accounts by some persons from the Southeast casting the killing of Sur Ahmadu Bello as an act of bravery. The killing of Sir Ahmadu Bello by Nzeogwu was not an act of courage. Bravery would be when an armed man attacks you, and you defend yourself.
In this case, Sir Ahmadu Bello was not armed.
When one of his men, Sergeant Daramola Oyegoke, refused to kill innocent civilians in Ahmadu Bello’s compound, Major Nzeogwu shot him dead. That was murder. Sergeant Oyegoke said he did not join the army to kill innocent civilians. He should have been promoted, not murdered.
A few hours after committing his crime, Nzeogwu was photographed laughing in this attached photo. Major Timothy Onwuategwu, who had only hours ago murdered Brigadier Samuel Ademulegun and his eight month pregnant wife, Latifah, was also by his side, laughing uproariously.
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.
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.Tap Here To Read Full Details
