nigeriatoday.ng A socio-cultural group in Akwa Ibom State, Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio, has protested against the reported inclusion of the state in an imaginary Biafran map. The group accused the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, of including Akwa Ibom and other states within the south-south region of Nigeria on the Biafran map without consulting them. It said it considered the inclusion an act of disrespect and provocation. |

When Lt. Col. Bukar Dimka of the
Nigeria Army Physical Training Corps
stepped out of his official residence
on Macpherson Road, Ikoyi, in the
early hours of February 13, 1976, he
had one agenda in mind; the killing
of the then Head of State, Gen.
Murtala Muhammed. He achieved
that criminal act by gunning down
the Kano-born head of state a few
minutes after the latter left the Dodan
Barracks, Obalende, the official seat
of the Federal Military Government at
the time. Muhammed’s official black
Mercedes Benz was riddled with
bullets near a petrol station on Bank
Road, (now Murtala Muhammed
Drive) opposite the Federal
Secretariat, Ikoyi. Killed along with
him were, his ADC, Lt. Akintunde
Akinsehinwa and driver. After the
assassination, Dimka had made a
broadcast at the Nigerian
Broadcasting Corporation (NBC)
studio in the following words; ‘’Good
morning fellow Nigerians, This is Lt.
Col. B. Dimka of the Nigerian Army
calling. I bring you good tidings.
Murtala Muhammed’s deficiency has
been detected. His government is
now overthrown by the young
revolutionaries. Any attempt to foil
these plans from any quarters will be
met with death. Everyone should be
calm. Please stay by your radio for
further announcements. All borders,
air and sea ports are closed until
further notice. Curfew is imposed
from 6am to 6pm. Thank you. We
are all together.” Two days after
Muhammed was assassinated, Dimka
was declared wanted for treason and
murder by military authorities. He
was eventually caught at a
checkpoint at Abakaliki on March 5,
1976 and brought to Lagos the
following day. On March 6, 1976, the
Federal Government promptly issued
a statement on his arrest as follows:
‘’His arrest followed a massive
manhunt operation mounted by a
combined team of the Army and
Police in the area. ‘’The previous day,
Lt. Col Dimka had checked in at a
local hotel in Afikpo under the name
of Mr. C. Godwin of the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture, Enugu. Later,
on his request, the hotel manager
secured for him a girl, Miss. Beatrice
Agboli, with whom to spend the
night. ‘’A few hours later, the local
Police security was alerted and they
closed up on him. At about 10.30
pm, he bolted away through the
window of the toilet of his hotel
room into a nearby thick bush,
abandoning his car with a dangling
registration number ECC 6253.” ‘’The
continuous joint manhunt operation
by the Army and Police resulted in
his subsequent arrest near
Abakaliki.’’ Barely few hours after he
was brought to Lagos, he was
interrogated by the military Board of
Inquiry led by Major Gen. E. O.
Abisoye. However while Dimka was
being quizzed, 32 people including
Major Gen. Illiya Bisalla, who had
already been tried for their roles in
the attempted coup were executed in
Lagos on March 11, 1976. The only
civilian executed among them was
Abdulkarim Zakari, a graduate of
University of Ibadan, who was said to
have led Dimka and others into the
studios of the NBC on February 13,
1976. The broadcaster was also cited
as the man who signed for martial
music records from the NBC library
the previous night. Just as the first
batch of coup plotters were executed,
Dimka’s trial begun after he was
presented to the press on March 11,
1976. Handcuffed, Dimka who wore a
katftan dress watched journalists
listen to a tape recording of his
appearance before the board of
inquiry for about five minutes. He
confirmed that the voice on the tape
was his own and that it was a
recording made at his interrogation.
He emphasised that the statement
was not made under duress.
According to a Daily Times
publication, ‘’13 Years of Military
Rule 1966-79’’ the highlights of
Dimka’s confessional statements
included, ‘’Frankly speaking, I should
say the beginning of the coup idea
was around January this year (1976)
.’’ He said he had discussions with
some persons including former Head
of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon in
London and when he returned to the
country, he decided to assign
responsibilities to members of the
young revolutionaries conscripted
into the plan. But Gowon, who was in
exile at the time denied any prior
knowledge of the coup attempt.
Dimka also claimed the coup plot
was hatched by young officers who
resolved not to involve any
Lieutenant Colonel and above except
himself in a bid to effect a change of
government. In his confessional
statement, he said, Gen. Bisalla had
complained to him and expressed his
frustration that despite being a
member of the Supreme Military
Council (SMC), each time there was
a decision to be taken, he was either
sent to one place or the other. Dimka
said ‘’ Bisalla told me that whatever
will happen he want us to go ahead,
and work out the details.’’ Explaining
how responsibilities were distributed,
the leader of the coup plot said ‘’
When I met Major Rabo, he said that
he had finally distributed
responsibilities. Major Rabo was for
target one- Head of State, Lt. Dauda
was for target two- Lt. Gen.
Obasanjo, Lawrence Garba was for
target three- Lt. Gen. Danjuma.
‘’Major Gagara was for Ilorin and
Sokoto, Jos had nobody. The main
centres of operations were Kaduna,
Ibadan, Benin where there are Radio
stations’’. He also listed the targets
of attack, that is, those to be
eliminated as the Head of State, the
four GOCs, Col. Babangida, Col.
Bajowa, Col. Mohammed of Sokoto,
Col. Ibrahim Taiwo of Kwara, Col.
Abdullahi of Jos and Col. Jemibewon
of Ibadan.’’ Dimka also confessed
before the military board of inquiry
how Zakari showed him the NBC
broadcasting section on February 12,
a day before the coup attempt. On
how the ex-Head of State was killed,
he said ‘’ I stood at George Street
with Major Rabo to wait until such a
time when the Head of State’s car
was coming out. There, one Capt.
Malaki who was to give the warning
order. Capt. Malaki was to be on the
watch to signal Major Rabo and Lt.
William Seri on the approach of the
vehicle. So I came up and I was at
the petrol station waiting. ‘’I was
behind while we were talking when
the Commander –in-Chief’s car
passed. In fact, I did not even see it
until when Malaki said the car has
passed. So, we rushed in and then
followed and the car was held
somewhere just opposite the petrol
station. ‘’Lt. Seri was approaching the
car when we stopped and Major Rabo
rushed to him, then the firing started.
‘’ Dimka confessed that after the
Head of State was assassinated, he
went to the NBC and made his
broadcast that the young
revolutionaries had taken over the
government. At the end of his trial,
coup leader and a number of others
were found guilty of treason and
murder. Their death sentences were
confirmed by the Supreme Military
Council. Dimka and seven others
were eventually executed by firing
squad at Kirikiri Prisons on May 15,
1976, for their part in the abortive
coup. Also executed among the
squad was the former Governor of
the then Benue Plateau State, Joseph
Gomwalk. However, two NCOs, Sgt.
Clement Yildar and Corporal Dauda
Usman escaped and were never
found. They were declared wanted by
the authorities. The situation led to
the promulgation by Olusegun
Obasanjo regime of certain
retrospective decrees and new
military laws justifying mass
executions for coup participation. |

michealdeco:please tell me which parts of the south-south that are ready or want Biafra, is it the Ijaws, Ikwerre, Efiks, Ibibios, Ogojas, etc? |
Please count south-south out of Biafra. So, people can't even reason well becos south-south would not be part of the said biafra. Most of the Igbo have their investments mostly in the north and other parts of the country. with Biafra the are tend to lose all these investments. The igbos should reason well. |

zabuur:My brother you can't limit God, He can speak through anything. We read in the bible God spoke through a donkey, just to deliver a message. God spoke to Moses through fire in book of exodus. |
If God can speak through a donkey, and if God can speak through fire in days of Moses. So it is very possible. |
Maximus85:So you don't know God can use anything to speak to us. Don't you heard or read in ur bible that a donkey spoke. So my brother God has no limitation. It is very possible. |
