Ironsi was ‘aware’ or so to say part of the coup. He only turned around to betray his fellow colleagues. By the time the north saw through his deceits, his fate was sealed. Do not turn history on it’s head just to suit a sentimental narrative.
I am not saying the legendary assassin TY Danjuma was a saint either.

Theophilus Danjuma (he used to answer "Theophilus" whenever a Christian was the president and "Yakubu" whenever a Muslim becomes the president), was a "Major" in the Nigerian Army during the January 15th coup that led to the overthrow of Tafawa Balewa and the killing of the Sarduana of sokoto, together with other Army officers. During that coup which was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu in Kaduna and Ifeajuna in the South, the Kaduna operations went successfully according to the plotters plans and within 30 minutes, Nzeogwu was announcing the coup as successful. But down South in Lagos, the then Chief of Army staff one General Aguiyi Ironsi confronted the coup plotters and crushed the coup. He will later arrest all of them , including Kaduna Nzeogwu whom he used Obasanjo (Nzeogwus best friend then) to lure to Lagos from Kaduna. That was how the January 15th coup ended, otherwise the president would have been either Ifeajuna or Nzeogwu.

Six months later, northerners who felt that most of their politicians and military men bore the greater chunk of the killings that occured during the January 15th coup, which has now been dubbed "The Igbo coup", started protesting. Their sons in the army started plotting on a "revenge" too. It was a very toxic period politically. General Ironsi was aware, yet trusted northern officers with a great deal of strategic appointments. For instance, colonel Gowon was made the Chief of Army staff. The question for those who wanted revenge was; revenge against who? Revenge against igbos!? But Igbos did not send Nzeogwu nor Ifeajuna to organize a coup. These officers plotted this coup out of their own volition. But by July 29th of the same year, a counter coup by northern officers was on its way. Most of the officers who organized this counter coup of July 29 were from the present day middle belt with few coming from the far north. Some of them will end up becoming very politically powerful in Nigeria afterwards. They included Major Theophilus Danjuma, Gado Nasko, Murtala Muhammad, Muhammadu Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Mamman Vatsa, Ibrahim Bako, Sani Abacha, Bissalla... etc

In July 1966, General Ironsi who was now the Head of State following the death of the prime minister Tafawa Balewa, was going around the whole country trying to dtum up support for a "unification decree" he was touting that was very unpopular in the north. He travelled to Ibadan from the north to consult with local leaders. In the early morning of July 29th, the officer who was chosen for the job of securing the president while he was at Ibadan, organized his men and attacked the governors lodge there with northern soldiers! He abducted Ironsi, tied his legs to a military truck, dragged him around Ibadan and later shot him dead in few hours time , together with the then military governor of the western region! This officer will then team up with other northern officers to kill every Eastern military officers in the barracks! More than 300 military officers of Eastern origin were killed this way. The irony here is that most of these killed officers even helped Ironsi to stop the Jan 15th coup from being a success story! Some were buried alive..

That officer that was in charge of Ironsis security but later abducted and killed him was/is no other than Major Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma. That was how that crooked military officer became so prominent and powerful in Nigeria afterwards. He, with his murderous gang will later ter continue the killings during the war and destroyed whatever that was left of Nigerias unity afterwards. Nigerianns always forget too that Danjuma was also the one ex General who made it a point of duty to go to Aso Rock towards the end of the 2015 elections in other to warn Jonathan to hand over to Buhari. He did so because they never trusted Jonathan from Day one, since Jonathan was not a preferred northerner. Danjuma thought that Buhari had a more general Northern agenda but he was wrong, Buhari had his own plans. Dude was fixated on the Fulani agenda. All these later days buyers remorse from Danjuma has a lot to do with Buhari outsmarting him and little to do with his socalled love for Nigerians. Theophilus Danjuma only wanted a perennial northern domination of Nigeria. He never contented that some of his socalled "northern brothers and friends" will stretch things further by insisting on a particular tribe to be on top.

Stop these nonsense, everybody knows why the Fulani always call the tivs munchi. General T.Y. Danjuma was not born when the tivs was given that name because of your ancestors addiction of stealing and eating Fulani cows.Danjuma has nothing to do with your problem,stop stealing Fulani cows and see how you will experience peace in benue.

That was exactly what happened.
While the Fulani were killing others for him, he was totally in agreement. But immediately the same fulanis turned against him, he started wailing about "second colonization". That Man Danjuma is onemof the principal characters that messed up this country.

You also forgot to mentioned
On the right of your screen was Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu when the Sardauna of Sokoto visited the young officers during their school days at the Sandhurst Academy, London. Years later, Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna and co terrorists killed the Sardauna
