What the article failed to add as always was that Ado Bayero was returning a favor Ojukwu did for him.

In the January 1966 coup, Ado Bayero the then Emir of Kano was slated to be killed. Ojukwu who was the GOC of the Barracks in Kano sent his most Loyal igbo soldiers to Ado Bayero's residence to protect him and he also sent his most loyal igbo soldiers to the Kano international airport to secure it. The Igbo soldiers engaged Kaduna Nzeogwu's Men in a firefight for several hours and thus Nzeogwu's men couldn't take the Airport and the Kano coup obviously Failed.

The government n elders in certain parts of Nigeria keep. demonizing Ojukwu even in death.

Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu was a fierce one nigeria advocate more than every other major player in 1966/1967.

It's the retelling of these history with intentional slants and injected half-truths that they've been using to blindfolding and dividing us all these while; the same elders who refused to properly and truthfully document history for its own worth and purity.

We are wiser now! We won't commit their blunders in our generation.

I don't recall that there was any federal or regional government sited in Kano.

So if indeed the Igbo coup planned to assassinate the emir of Kano then, it simply means the Igbos were all out to eliminate all the significant Fulani leaders, and not some national revolution that they claimed was patriotic.
