The following morning, he asked at the reception for a change of room. After the conference, he went to Maimalari’s residence for the cocktail at 7:30pm. He and the driver of his staff car were travelling back to Enugu the following morning and he wanted his driver to get enough sleep for the 490km trip. Ejoor went to seek Maimalari’s permission to leave at 9pm. The Brigadier refused. Ejoor then went to appeal to Colonel Kur Mohammed whom the Brigadier usually handed the Brigade over to when he was absent from the country. Maimalari, like Catholic theology, consented after much saintly intercession. Ejoor left Abogo Largema at the party not knowing that was the last time they would see each other.

By 7am the following day, his driver who went to sleep at Camp in Apapa came banging on his door. He told him there had been terrible happenings the like of which he had not seen or heard before. He said there the Prime Minster and many other officers had been kidnapped. Ejoor stared not only with disbelief but with deep confusion. He was convinced that his driver was drunk early. Just then Largema’s driver too came and showed them shells he found in front of his master’s room. All the three went to the Largema’s room upstairs to find trails of blood which had hardened into a carapace on the corridor.

Ironsi was very aware of the coup and he was a part of it

Ejoor's encounter with Ironsi .....


On 9th of January, Lt Col Ejoor the commanding officer of the 1st battalion in Enugu received a signal in the name of Brigadier Maimalari that he was invited to a three day Brigade Training Conference on the 12th – 14th in Apapa, Lagos. The battalion was handed to him on 26th December by Lt Col Adekunle Fajuyi who was transferred to Abeokuta to head the Garrison there. He left for Lagos on 10th of January and was booked into room No 17 Ikoyi Hotel. (Lt Colonel Fajuyi confirmed later to Mr Bell, the British Deputy High commissioner in Ibadan on 22nd January that he too received the signal for the conference and was booked into Ikoyi hotel too. But he refused and chose to stay in the VIP chalets of the officers’ in Apapa. He was slated for assassination too). When Ejoor came back from the day’s proceeding on 13th January, the air conditioner was left on all day and so the room was extremely cold. He opened the windows and changed into his nightwear only to discover that a lady on the balcony of the block of flats nearby was staring directly into his sacred affairs.

Keep quiet bat-bingo you are the aggressor here digging up old wound for what exactly

The level of stinking hypocrisy from you guys is just too much.

The problem is because only you guys have been running havoc since 1970 with your warped revisionism which has seen you see the toga of victimhood for yourselves while ignoring or denying the senseless Jan 15 Ibo coup that was staged for your greedy ambitions.

We will force the truth on you and put an end to the lies from your war generation and that of your upper iweaka historians that have bred another generation of biafran he-goats .

Major General Ironsi became the Head of State the very next day.


Now tell me Ironsi knew nothing of the coup .

The conversation between Major Anuforo and Lt Col. Pam followed.

Major Christian Anuforo (CA): “You are to be shot Sir.”

JY: “Chris why?”

CA: “That is our decision”

JY: “I have a young family of six. This makes no sense.”

CA: “I have no choice. I am simply obeying orders.”

JY: “Allow me to say my prayers.”

CA: “Please do.” Dawn has not broken, and Lt Col Pam, 32, knelt on the soft, cold grass. His last thoughts were obviously for his devoted wife Elizabeth and their children. “Lord save them. Lord bless them and Lord keep them.” Shortly after, Anuforo’s gun cracked and two bullets flew out in the first volley, hitting his Pam’s chest and jaw.

On the journey of a few kilometres from Ikoyi Crescent to the Federal Guards Officers Mess Ikoyi, Lt Col Pam sat in the back of a camouflage green Nigerian Army Land Rover under armed guard.
They remain in the premises of the Officers Mess for less than an hour when Major Christian Anuforo arrived from Apapa, where he had gone to execute Colonel Kur Mohammed. But upon discovery that it was Lt Col JY Pam who was under guard, Major Chukwuka expressed surprise that Lt Col Pam has not been eliminated. He thereafter ordered the driver to take the party to Ikoyi Golf Course. At a convenient point he ordered the driver to stop and for Lt Col Pam to disembark.

Major Chukwuka, who had rather become impatient, began to march Lt Col Pam out of his home but not without first advising him to put on a coat because it was cold outside due to the harmattan season. As Pam was led out, Kaneng, his daughter, aware of the present danger, ran to her father and hugged him. Col Pam promptly turned to Elizabeth his wife and said in Hausa: “Liz, ki lura da yara,” which means “Liz, look after the children.” Those were his last words to his wife. It was also the last time he will have a glimpse of his family that comprised Jummai, six years; Yusufu, four years; identical twins Ishaku and Ishaya, one year nine months and Ibrahim (Gambo), four months and two weeks.

The rest of the party comprised 2nd Lt G. Onyefuru, Sergeants NN Ugongene, H.Okibe, B.Anyanwu, L.Egbukichi and P.Iwueke.


Below is the conversation between Major Chukwuka and Lt Col. Pam.

Major Humphrey Chukwuka (HC): “Sir, we have come to take you with us.”

JY: “Why? What is the meaning of this?”

HC: “Sir, please come with us.”

JY: “Ok. Allow me to dress”

Lt. Col JY Pam at this point was joined by his heart-broken wife, Elizabeth as he retreated into the bedroom and changed swiftly into a pair of trousers, a vest and shirt and put on his watch. He returned to the waiting soldiers as Elizabeth pleaded with Major Chukwuka who was well known to her to spare her husband’s life. Elizabeth pleads: “please don’t kill him, please don’t kill my husband” HC: “No. We won’t Madam. Don’t worry. I will bring him back to you.”

Please what does the op intend to achieve with this story.... Is it to start inciting people against each other Let us be vigilant about this bat-bingos

You have been crying victim since 1967.


This topic is meant to set the record straight on who the real aggressors and belligerents were

However, the invading soldiers had come face-to-face with her husband, Lt Col Pam, led by a man very familiar to him, Major (HC) Humphrey Chukwuka, his second-in-command, and Deputy Adjutant General (DAG)1 whom Major Benjamin Adekunle who was DAG 2 had earlier warned him to beware of and Major Anuforo.

Lt. Col JY Pam: “Sir, there have been gunshots around my house and there is a party of armed soldiers making its way towards my home.”

GOC: feigning alert “Ummm. Don’t worry. I will do everything I can to help. Good bye.”

Lt Col Pam dialled a second number. This time to Brigadier Maimalari, and repeated what he has just relayed to the GOC.
Unaware of the call, the fully-armed soldiers continued to make their way to Lt Col Pam home. Those approaching the kitchen chose to make their entrance by shooting through the door. A quick run up the stairs and the soldiers took over the bedrooms. By this time Elizabeth was no longer in doubt that something has badly gone wrong. As she ran to the children’s rooms in her distress and confusion, she screamed for her oldest child and daughter who was eight years old. “Kaneng ! Kaneng! Help me! Help me!” she called out.

It was on a Saturday night, about 2am, January 15, 1966. Lt Col Pam, his wife Elizabeth and all other members of his family have been asleep for several hours in their Nigerian Army residence at 8 Ikoyi Crescent, Ikoyi, Lagos, but awoke to behold the sight of soldiers, squatting decidedly towards their house. As a sign of loyalty, Lt Col Pam picked up the telephone in the bedroom and called the Nigerian Army GOC, Major General Aguiyi Ironsi.

Ohaneze is a joke .

A bunch of nitwits led by one obesse clown that is one heartbeat away from a stroke.

Unperturbedpota:

This is an interesting angle you raised here

Never ever believe anything that comes out of an 0su.

They are born liars and slanderers.

I have been the victim of an attempted ohu slander and false accusation after an attempted armed robbery on me by same ohus.

Never ever trust what comes out of the mouth of these Ekwensu spawns

Unperturbedpota:
Good one, I wish every state in Nigeria stats arresting all these irresponsible mothers who dump their babies.

You believe this shit ?


Where is the mother of the baby ?

An Anambra woman is accusing an unknown Ebonyi woman of abandoning her baby in a pit .

That Anambra woman must produce the mother of that child she claimed to have housed during pregnancy only to disappear after giving birth.

This is a baby factory proprietor trying to cover her tracks .

Ohus are just too evil.

NobleSeed:
