Ibrahim Bako Was Killed In The Process Of Arresting Shehu Shagari by sarrki(m): 1:07am On Nov 02, 2020
Brigadier Ibrahim Bako (1941-1983) was chosen to arrest President Shehu Shagari because his father was a personal friend to the president.

Unknown to Bako, the coup was leaked to Shagari and his guards were on high alert. He was killed while attempting to arrest the president during the December 31, 1983, coup d'etat.

Major-General Buhari's Supreme Military Council (SMC) observed a minute of silence for the slain Bako during its maiden meeting.

This guy died in vain because the reasons for overthrowing Shagari's regime by the military then are even worse today about 37years after.

One of the risk gamble of military coup.Brigadier Bako paid the price.This was when Buhari was still the GOC 3 Amoured Division Nigerian Army prior to his becoming HOS after the coup.This is an educative piece but Sarrki always acknowledged the source of your information as the need arises.

Millitary was bad. I am not advocating for her return.

But now, Khaki now supports looters and kill people that are fighting for a better society. Meanwhile, Khaki will end up retiring to his village hurt. Protesting to get his pension. Until she collapse struggling to get what she had labored for for 30 years
