Orkar Coup: Major Mukoro Pardoned by Mamajama(m): 5:44pm On Jul 08, 2007
Seventeen years after the Major Gideon Orkar-led coup which attempted to topple the military government of General Ibrahim Babangida, one of the major actors in the coup, Major Saliba Daddy Mukoro has been granted presidential pardon.
Sources hinted that the presidential pardon was signed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 24, five days before he left office on May 29.
Major Mukoro who holds a doctorate degree in criminology from Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas, was military Assistant at Army Headquarters at the time of the coup. He was allegedly to be the major organiser of the failed plot, while Chief Great Ogboru was alleged to be the financier.
Following the failure of the coup, most of the masterminds, including Mukoro, Ogboru and Lt. Col. Gabriel Tony Nyiam, fled Nigeria and went into exile in Britain and the United States (US).
