Is Obiano the reason the military invaded Abia state to kill and destroy your people? What is Obiano's roll in all these? Don't you have a governor?

Read how Ironsi was slaughtered even with his so called handshake.




Senator Andrew Nwankwo from the Izzi clan in
Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, was a captain in the Nigeria
Air Force before the January 1966 coup that made way
for Major General J. T. U Aguiyi Ironsi to emerge as
Head of State.
He became Ironsi’s Aide-De-Camp through the
recommendation of Brigadier George Krubo who was
then in-charge of the Air Force and subsequently
supervised the late Head of State’s security.
Capt. Andrew Nwankwo (rtd) said he was to die with
his boss, but for fate. He was present when both Ironsi
and Fajuyi were shot dead.
Tracking the 61-year-old former ADC down in his one
story building residence in Abakaliki was not as
difficult as getting him to recall the events that led to
the death of his master 38 years ago.
He would start by taking you down memory lane when
he served as a courier to late Emperor Haile Selassie of
Ethiopia, "I was manning the octopus-a helicopter that
carries 105 artillery gun and six other machine guns.
"So when Ethiopia was at war with Somalia in 1964/65
we formed the defence group of the emperor, we also
formed an attack force. When the emperor is going to
the frontline to see what is happening, we ring him
round to clear the way for him".
It was part of these that Ironsi saw and handed over
his security to the young captain. "It was cool working
with Ironsi, he understood everything about what I
should do because he had commanded the UN forces
in Congo, and that exposed him to the type of people
he needed".
The coup
Recalling the events of that night, July 29, 1966,
Nwankwo noted that they were in Ibadan, "we had a
small detachment of 106 Artillery, Commanded by one
Walbe from Plateau"
The Head of State had the previous day hosted
traditional rulers from all parts of the country in the
Ibadan Government House. "He wasn’t feeling quite
well, he had a knee problem and had to go to bed
early.
"Lieutenant Sanni Bello was the army ADC, and we
were very close. So, we left that night to go and look
out and came back late. Lt. Adamu who was the ADC
to Fajuyi, Sanni Bello, Walbe and myself, we all slept
together in one room that night".
"At about 4a.m the telephone rang, I picked it up and
that was Adeola, the then commissioner of police,
Ibadan he said he wanted to speak with Ironsi, I said I
was the ADC, he said he wanted to speak with him
because there was a coup and he gave me some
names Orok and two others that had been killed in
Abeokuta.
"Immediately, I made a mental picture of it, and I knew
that it was the northerners that were responsible. So, I
handed the phone to Ironsi and they talked. I then
alerted Adamu and Sanni Bello and said look, there is
a coup and the trend is this way.
"Bello assured me that if it is his own people he will
protect me, because, there was tension in the land
such that we knew a coup was imminent. So, we
agreed to protect each other depending on where it will
be coming from. I later discovered that Walbe who was
sleeping with us was part of the coup; he later became
ADC to Gowon.
"Around 5:30 we heard gunfire, then Ironsi had called
Col. Njoku to tell him about the coup. As Njoku was
going out, he was short at, but he escaped with bullet
wounds. It was Njoku, who was the commander of
Lagos Garrison that alerted others outside the
Government House, Ibadan.
"Fajuyi later sent me outside the government House to
find out what was happening. I met Danjuma, who
was then a major and he was my friend. He pretended
he didn’t know what was happening, he was asking
me, and I said I didn’t know. While I was trying to go
back, one sergeant from Benue almost shot me, but
Danjuma stopped him and spoke to him in Hausa.
Danjuma later told me that he would like to see Ironsi,
so that he could tell them what to do.
"It was then that Fajuyi came out to find out what was
holding me, and there inside the Government House
Danjuma ordered for his arrest and mine too. That was
when I saw Walbe. Then Fajuyi asked me to take him
to Ironsi so that they will obey him, that there should
be only one person in charge. So, I took them to Ironsi,
and major Newman, immediately he saw Ironsi, he
seized his crocodile swagger stick, and then they
started asking him about the January coup, he said he
didn’t know about it that he only agreed to be Head of
State so that he can restore confidence and normalcy.
It was immediately they arrested Ironsi that they turned
violent".
The road to the valley of death
They marched us down, Ironsi and myself, to where
Fajuyi was. They used telephone cable to tie my hands
behind and my legs, with a little space to walk. Same
they did to Ironsi, but they removed his shirt, he wore
only trousers, they also tied Fajuyi. Ironsi was in a
Land Rover, Fajuyi in a mini bus and myself in another
bus. They drove us towards Iwo Road, 10 km from
Ibadan, there was a small forest were they stopped,
marched us to the right hand side of the bush, Fajuyi
was leading and as he tried to cross a small stream, he
fell down, the soldiers were unruly, it appeared some of
them had for the first time taken Indian hemp, so when
he fell down some of them started beating him.
My escape
As Fajuyi fell down and they were beating him, Sanni
Bello came to me and tapped me and said, we could
do something now. It was providence, may be I was
not destined to die. I took a few steps from them and
jumped into a nearby ditch, all in a split of a second,
Bello came and stood by the ditch and was shouting
that I had escaped pointing at another direction. So
the soldiers ran around that direction shooting into the
bush, and when they felt they must have killed me,
they shot Fajuyi and then Ironsi there, by the side of
the stream. So Bello made sure that he was the last to
leave the place.
The ADC, who was later elected senator in 1983 stated
that the former Head of State could have escaped if
not that he wanted to make sure that there was no
bloodshed. He said if he sacrificed his life and
prevented bloodshed in Nigeria, it’s better for him.
Even his chaplain urged him to escape but he said No.
Also many of his officers who were contacted instead
of taking action ran away.
The ADC denied the prevailing story that Ironsi was
tied to a Land Rover and dragged along the road. He
maintained that he saw Ironsi and Fajuyi shot dead.
"They shot him on the chest and it was a burst, so he
would have died after the first shot".
The crocodile staff
It was a swagger stick, which he made after his name
Aguiyi (crocodile). It was in the Congo, when he was
commanding the United Nations Forces, the Indian
troops were to land at the Lumumbashi Airport but the
Cameroon gendarmes went and blocked the place with
trucks, so that the Indian soldiers will not land, so, he
used a Land Rover and with the stagger stick waved
as they were shouting, he was eventually able to
convince them to remove the trucks. Many attributed
that feat to extraordinary powers in his swagger stick.
But there was nothing in it, it was just a stick. Ironsi
was not fetish; he was a devoted Catholic and
attended mass every morning, even the day he was killed.

Why did he sue IPOB? he was unsuccessful still.

Why was he exonerating himself apologetically from the 2016 nkpor attack meted on ipob members by the army?

All these are by the way, now why is he ranting about anambarians developing Lagos, thereby trying to incite resentment against ndigbo in Lagos? Is it only anambarians that made Lagos a success? Are other Igbo making noise? Are other ethnicities making noise? Lekwe nu iberibe o....

Yes we made sure your state was raided by the military to teach you guys some lesson. We are not responsible for the miserable condition of your state. You have a gov, have you blamed him for the military invasion of Abia state? Have you blamed NK that left his dead Abia state to come and say that election shall not hold in Anambra?

If your state is miserable, why do you want others to join you in your miserable situation by saying that they will not hold their own election? Why is it that Abia state people does not like to move forward?

We are very happy that Abia state was invaded by the military, at least there is calm in the SE. People of SE does not have any regret for the invasion of Abia state. If you idiots try it next time, it will be worse than what you guys saw the last time. Bunch of miscreants cheesy

that the former Head of State could have escaped if
not that he wanted to make sure that there was no
bloodshed. He said if he sacrificed his life and
prevented bloodshed in Nigeria, it’s better for him.
Even his chaplain urged him to escape but he said No.
Also many of his officers who were contacted instead
of taking action ran away.
The ADC denied the prevailing story that Ironsi was
tied to a Land Rover and dragged along the road. He
maintained that he saw Ironsi and Fajuyi shot dead.
"They shot him on the chest and it was a burst, so he
would have died after the first shot".
The crocodile staff
It was a swagger stick, which he made after his name
Aguiyi (crocodile). It was in the Congo, when he was
commanding the United Nations Forces, the Indian
troops were to land at the Lumumbashi Airport but the
Cameroon gendarmes went and blocked the place with
trucks, so that the Indian soldiers will not land, so, he
used a Land Rover and with the stagger stick waved
as they were shouting, he was eventually able to
convince them to remove the trucks. Many attributed
that feat to extraordinary powers in his swagger stick.
But there was nothing in it, it was just a stick. Ironsi
was not fetish; he was a devoted Catholic and
attended mass every morning, even the day he was killed.

Abia state people are cursed. They shut down their own state because of an election holding in another state. Why are these people hopeless and useless? And you wonder why the state is backward in all spheres. cheesy

IPOB is Abia state and Abia state is IPOB. There is nothing like IPOB in Anambra, those people parading as IPOB were all imported from Abia state and we have since sent all of them back. Again, Anambra election has proved that we are not in support of Ipob which is the making of Abia state people. You guys should put this energy together and push for good governance in Abia state and stop constitute nuisance everywhere. cheesy

Truth is very hurtful and harsh, I know how you feel cheesy

Election successfully held in Anambra and a winner has been declared while Abia state is still in coma. cheesy

Abia state is IPOB and IPOB is Abia state.

Hold your gov responsible for the miserable condition of Abia state and stop disturbing the peace of SE with your Ipob

Igbos are very happy for the Abia invasion by the military. cheesy
