"I was one of the British Officers serving on the headquarters staff in Lagos, chosen by the Governor-General, Sir James Robertson, to mastermind the covert action to rig Nigeria’s elections. This secret operation hatched in Whitehall was of course a gross betrayal of trust by Prime Ministers Sir Anthony Eden and Mr. Harold Macmillan. The orders which arrived on my desk from the Governor-General before the elections for the Western Regional Government in 1956 were quite illegal and in direct contravention of Nigerian and British law. As consequence of these illegal orders, I was to lose my career and my health. These orders were not only illegal but also immoral, and I refused to carry them out. I also refused many inducements. The authorities wanted me to promise never to reveal how the British Government rigged the results of Nigeria’s General Elections."
