Today is the 39th anniversary of the brutal assassination of Gen Murtala Muhammed:A genuine patriot, panAfricanist and visionary leader. As school children,we wept openly on that day,for a man whom within the brief period of his reign made us proud as a nation and asserted NIGERIA'S leadership role in Africa. May Allah grant him aljanna firdausi,Amin Copied from Shehu sani. 35 Likes 1 Share

General Murtala Ramat Muhammed (November 8, 1938–February 13, 1976) was a military ruler (Head of the Federal Military Government) of Nigeria from 1975 until his assassination in 1976. Murtala Muhammed was killed, aged 37, along with his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa, on February 13, 1976 in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka, when his car was ambushed while en route his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos. He was succeeded by the Chief of Staff, Supreme HQ Olusegun Obasanjo, who completed his plan of an orderly transfer to civilian rule by handing power to Shehu Shagari on October 1, 1979. Today, his portrait adorns the 20 Naira note and Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos is named in his honor 10 Likes 4 Shares

I know some certain people would not pass up this opportunity to gloat. They never do, that's the only way they get to console themselves. Murtala Mohammed proved any man can redeem himself. RIP! 1 Like |
