So T. Y Danjuma Arrested (& killed?!?) Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi And He Is Still Free? by swaggerific: 9:24am On Aug 15, 2012
"Danjuma was commissioned into the Nigerian Army as second lieutenant and platoon commander in the Congo and in 1963 joined a UN Peace-keeping force in Sante, Kataga Province in Congo when he was promoted to captain three years later. In 1966 Captain Danjuma was involved in a counter-coup with the 4th Battalion in Mokola, Ibadan. On July 29, 1966, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi spent the night at the Government House Ibadan as part of a nation-wide tour. His host, Lieutenant Colonel Adekunle Fajuyi, Military Governor of Western Nigeria, alerted him to a possible mutiny within the army. Aguiyi-Ironsi desperately tried to contact his Army Chief of Staff, Yakubu Gowon, but he was unreachable (Perhaps deliberately). In the early hours of the morning, the Government House Ibadan was surrounded by soldiers led by Theophilus Danjuma. Danjuma arrested Aguiyi-Ironsi and questioned him about his alleged complicity in the coup which saw the demise of the Sardauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello. Although some have argued that Fajuyi was not a target in this counter-coup, Danjuma, Walbe and others have gone on record to say that they probably wanted him "for questioning" as much as they did his boss, Aguiyi-Ironsi. Fajuyi was seen as a so-called progressive, who had supported the Nzeogwu coup in January of that year. The bullet-riddled bodies of Aguiyi-Ironsi and Fajuyi were later found in a nearby forest, and Yakubu Gowon became the new military head of state. A year later, in 1967, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel at the start of the campaign towards Enugu, which was captured later in that year."

This is what I found in wikipedia. At the very least he should be tied to a case unrelated to this and arrested and put in jail for life because this singular action pretty much led to the civil war.

Guy, since you have access to the internet, why not Google "Kaduna Nzeogwu" and then change that post of yours.

Was that the lies you were fed?

Please you need to do some research.

By the way, I will like to know the benefits of the "togetherness" of Nigeria. So that blood of the "infidels" will continue to flow without stop at Kano, Kaduan, Borno, Yobe, etc?

Whether you guys like it or not, except we sit down now and negotiate our "togetherness", Nigeria will surely split. If not now, later.
