In the early hours of 15th January 1966, soldiers led by Majors mostly of Igbo extraction led a mutiny that resulted in the murder of senior Northern and Western army officers and the Northern civilian Prime Minister in Lagos and Northern Premier in Kaduna.

The party of rebels also visited death on the Premier of the Western region, Samuel Akintola. The mutinous band from the West and Lagos then made their way to Enugu and suddenly lost their thirst for blood upon entry to their tribal enclave, choosing instead to hold discussions with the Eastern Premier - a fellow tribesman.

In the company of the mutinous band that visited Akintola was Remi Fani-Kayode, deputy Western Premier and father to the loquacious FFK.
He it was who called on Akintola to surrender to the soldiers. Akintola not having any trust for him or the soldiers, fired from inside the house injuring the leader of the mutinous band.
Akintola would eventually surrender and was summarily executed, but is on record as the only victim of that coup who fought back and even drew blood.

Remi Fani-Kayode was spared and later ran away to England with his family. His boss, Akintola, drew breath no more.

Femi Fani-Kayode, Nigerians need you to explain the role your father played in the successful murder of Akintola.

While at it, also explain the role you know Buhari played in the retaliatory coup of July 1966 or the progroms that followed. If you have no factual claims but only hope to whip up tribal sentiments, then GMB's disregard of your rantings is well deserved.

I know the remaining days will make sense now is the time to get stories about what has been hinding since 1914

hmmm dis one pass me ooo, anyway GEJ till airforce1 drops his album(only god knows when)

FFK loves to ask vague questions about the past.
I think it's time we also start asking him factual and valid questions from the same past.

Lemme just pinch my tent here..... this story go plenty.

Apc can be foolish sha! Now where on earth will a sensible one question a son on his father's deeds, I guess dis indicates that they have run out of stupid propagandas, their next question will be! Why did ur father married ur mother . Apc as a party I know belongs in the past but what surprises me most is their young followers, d ones that is said to be the future of Nigeria, the way they reason, some times I use to wonder Weda their actually have sense of their own. They stupidly believes every trash that come out of their aged party leader. I understand their love for the party but do u have to make urself look stupid bcus u love something or someone? Allowing ur reasoning to decline is d height of deservice to urself

The Nigerian Civil War, John de St Jorre.

The reason I ask is because of what transpired ages ago. Several years back when I was still quite young, the late Chief Remilekun Adetokunbo Fani-Kayode's wife was at a public function. I didn't know who she was, then. She was being congratulated by a few of her peers, on her lucky escape from an ailment. She replied that her preservation has always been in God's hands, and even went as far as recounting how God preserved her and her late husband on several occasions, including during the coup incident when he was held by soldiers at gun point on the night Akintola was killed.

He had been abducted from his house at gun point and taken to Akintola's house. On getting there, the soldiers tried to get access into the late Premier's residence, but could not do so at the initial stage. Fani-Kayode was forced out, with a gun held to his head and told to call Akintola's name in order to lure him outside the house.

Fani-Kayode called out the Premier, but also warned him that the house was surrounded by rebels so he should be careful. Gunshots were exchanged. One of Akintola's bullets was reported to have hit the soldier holding a gun on Fani-Kayode. On seeing the soldier falling down, he took off his shoes and ran for his dear life. Luckily, he knew the terrain of the Premier's property, and found a place to escape, while the soldiers stormed the house looking for the Premier. I will not go into the gory details, of what took place afterwards. The rest is history.

Still a traitor just like his father
