If anybody wants to know who released Awolowo, follow time line and facts.

General Ironsi was captured and killed on 29th July 1967. For the next few days, nobody knew who was running Nigeria. Not even Gowon could have claimed to be head of state in that time. With the uncertainty about what happend to Ironsi, the ongoing killings of Army officers of Eastern origin and the fact that the most senior officer after Ironsi, Brigadier Ogundipe was still Chief of General staff, it would pedestrian to assume that Gowon was head of state. None of the Regions recognized Gowon as head of state, very few people knew what was happening.

Ojukwu flatly refused to recognise Gowon as head state as there were several officers senior to Gowon, particularly Brigadier Ogundipe, who was supposed to take over in the absence of Ironsi.

The reasons Gowon could not have possibly released Awolowo are:

1) In August 1967, nobody recognized Gowon as head of state, least of all Ojukwu

2) Ojukwu was senior to Gowon, theres no way Ojukwu would have taken instructions from Gowon until much later

3) Awolowo was in prison in Calabar, which was in the Eastern Region. How can Gowon release Awolowo in an area that did not recognize Gowon as head of state?

4) How is it possible for Gowon to release Awolowo in an area where Gowon had no power or recognition?

why waste your time arguing with yoruba louts?
Gowon is still alive, why can't they go and ask him?
if Gowon was in control of eastern Nigeria, did he need to go to war with the east? he would have simply arrested Ojukwu by merely issuing an order to the nearest barracks.
lol, thank god for the internet, their culture of lies and deceit doesn't work anymore.
