Gentlemen, I have just been informed that there is going to be a coup tonight. Anyone of you who knows anything about the coup should please tell us. You may know the beginning but you never know the end. I am not ambitious.....
My only ambition is to become a full Colonel. If you know anything, please let me know; I am not going to report anyone. What we are going to do is to avoid what happened in January where officers were taken unawares. ...
We are going to wake up all soldiers, ask them to go to the armoury to get issued with arms and ammunition."
- Words of Lt Col. Okonweze on the 28 of July in Abeokuta right before Sargent Sabo Kole (A Bachama NCO from Adawama) triggered the events that'd lead to the coup of the next two days and the civil war that'd follow.
History is sweet. Weird speed from Okonweze tho
