The Bravery Of Babatunde Idiagbon by agbaman1782(m): 8:54am On Apr 29, 2019
12 august 1985, Babangida took over forcefully from buhari and warned The chief of staff(vice President) Lt.col. Tunde idiagbon that was in Saudi for prayers hajj, He was given clear warnings to stay away from the country or he would be dealt with.

At that point the billionaire Saudi monarch, the late King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud called Idiagbon and made an offer. The Saudi King told Idiagbon that he would get a palatial mansion and stay for his retirement for life and forget about the idea of returning to Nigeria.

Idiagbon politely declined the offer and told King Fahd that he had to return to Nigeria for two good reasons, one of which was to make a statement that he was not a coward so his family will later walk proud and that it would also be a great honour for him to die beside his boss, General Buhari, who saved his life during the Nigerian Civil War. Few days later, he entered the Nigerian airspace. Armed soldiers and all kinds of weapons waited for him at the airport but he did not budge.

For daring to enter the Nigerian territory and having the guts to challenge a corrupt system, Idiagbon was placed under house arrest in Benin City and Bauchi State. He was locked up with his boss for 40 horrible months. He and Buhari had ruled Nigeria for 20 months before IBB and his boys came in and embarked on their coup.

And Buhari has somehow managed to become Nigeria president today.

Anyways Idiagbon was one the few Afonja men who weren't cowards like most of the ones today.
