On this day 43 years prior, previous Nigerian military ruler Murtala Mohammad was killed in S Class Mercedes Benz.

Murtala Mohammed was Nigeria’s previous military head of state. He progressed toward becoming president in July 30, 1975.

Murtala Mohammed was murdered matured 37, alongside his Confidant (ADC), Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa in an unsuccessful overthrow endeavor driven by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka, when his vehicle was trapped in transit to his office at Dodan Encampment, Lagos by a gathering of warriors.

shocked
Below is a text of the second speech which
Colonel Dimka never got to read on the air
waves:

“Fellow Nigerians,
This is Lt. Col. BS Dimka. I now explain why
we the Young Revolutionaries of the Armed
Forces have found it necessary to overthrow
the six month old government of Murtala.
On the 29th July 1975 the Government of
General Gowon was overthrown. Some of
the reasons given for the change were:

a. Corruption
b. Indecision
c. Arrest and detention without trial
d. Weakness on the part of the Head of
State
e. Maladministration in general and a host
of other malpractice.

Every honest Nigerian will agree with me
that since the change over of government
there has not been any physical
development in the whole country generally.
All we have is arbitrary dismissal of innocent
Nigerians who have contributed in no less
amount to the building of this great nation.
A Professor was arrested, detained,
dismissed and later taken to court on an
article which every honest Nigerian will
agree that all the points contained in that
article were 100% truth. The sad point about
it all is that those who initiated the
retirement or dismissal exercise are the
worst offenders. You will be informed about
the ill-gotten wealth in my next
announcement.

The acting General Manager of the Nigerian
Airways was invited to the Dodan Barracks
and detained without trial. The people of
this country have been living in a state of
fear. The Armed Forces promotion exercise
is still fresh in your minds. Whatever
reasons they have for the promotion one
can only say that they are ambitious. They
in fact took over power to enrich
themselves.

We are convinced that some of the
programmes announced for a return to
civilian rule are made to favor a particular
group. To mention only one. Maitama Sule
is a politician. But has been appointed Chief
of Commissioners for Complaints. This is to
prepare him for the next political head at all
cost. How many of you know that Maitama
Sule is on a salary of N17,000 per annum?
In view of what I have just said and a lot
more which time will not permit me to
mention, we the Young Revolutionaries have
once again taken over the Government to
save Murtala from total disgrace and
prevent him from committing further
blunders and totally collapsing the country
before he runs away in the name of
retirement to enjoy the huge fortune he got
through bribe which he has now stored
outside this country. I believe that charity
should begin at home.
Please stay by your radio for further
announcements.

We are all together.”

PRAYER FOR NIGERIANS:



After the war, the Israelites came to Moses and said, "We counted and no one is missing, Numbers 31 vs 49). In this week of ELECTION none will be missing in ur family, among ur friends and love ones in Jesus name.

Despite the fact it pains me to my marrow, Buhari can't lose. He has a fanatical support base in the north, a good electoral machinery in the south west and ultimately controls the rigging apparatus and is willing to do whatever it takes to remain in power. One way or the other, Buhari will remain president till 2023.#IamAtikulated

I remembered primary school when we went on excursion to the museum where this car is kept.

Being a very imaginative child, I pictured the whole scene as the guide told us the story of how Muritala was assassinated.
