The E-Branch would have shared such Inteligence to Ironsi as well so that's why you should not credit Ironsi for informing the PM.

Both the PM and Ironsi plus the IG of Police knew there was a coup plot brewing based on the Inteligence report carried out by the E-Branch.


Stop crediting Ironsi for anything.

If at all, Ironsi refusal to reign in his officers and fish out the coupists exposes his connivance in the plot.

So Mr Segun Johnson lied in his book.

APCHaram:
At no time did Ironsi inform the PM of a coup.


It was the Nigerian Police Espionage Branch (E-Branch) that had been investigating and conducting Inteligence reports on an impending coup days before Jan 15.


The Sarduna had even reported suspicious late night troop movements led by Nzeagwu to the Police around his residence in Kaduna. The Police followed up on the report and interrogated Nzeagwu who said he was conducting a "training excercise".


Even when Ejoor narrowly escaped being murdered that eventful night by Ifeanjuna at the Ikoyi Hotel room suite that Ifeanjuna booked him into, and rushed to call Ironsi in his switched hotel room that there might be a coup going on after Ifeanjuna could not locate him in the room, Ironsi did not appear shocked to hear of a coup ongoing but more shocked to hear Ejoor's voice.


The coup was an ethnic agenda to cleanse both the political and military architecture and for that it succeeded.

It was Ironsi, Orizu and Zik who could not manage their new found powers and had rushed their centrist ethnic agenda .

Are you aware that Decree 34 was signed secretly on Jan 16 but only announced a few months later?

That decree had all the hallmarks of Azikiwe and his Marxist ambitions.

Thank you!!
The Police Intelligence informed Gen Ironsi that a Coup was being planned by Nzeogwu,Ifeajuna,Onwategwu and 2 other of the Coupist which the police had identified the Police asked Gen Ironsi to Arrest them as the police believed they had enough evidence to nail them but only Ironsi as head of the Army could have them arrested



Gen Ironsi did nothing for the entire two weeks until Jan 15 1966 because he too was part of the Coup


Let me tell you another one

Brig Ademuleguns Military Guards were changed in the Middle of the night without his knowledge
Only Gen Ironsi had authority to do that even the PM didn't have that authority because Ademulegun was GOC of Battalion 1 Division a highly important Division In Case of any enemy attack on the country!!!

can you believe that at the time Azikiwe did this interview below on the 16th of Jan 1966
Gen ironsi had not yet taken Power
look outside the Window you can see it is broad daylight
Listen to azikiwe

Dr Orizu who was the Acting President didn't invite Gen ironsi to takeover Power until 10 minutes to midnight on that same day (16th of January 1966 ) which couldn't have been less than about 6 hours after azikiwe gave this interview to the British Press yet azikiwe was speaking as if Gen ironsi was already in Power

Gen ironsi didn't take Power until 17th Jan 1966 the next day

From his replies you can see that azikiwe was completely uninterested in finding Prime Minister Balewa who had only been kidnapped and was only missing at the time of this interview and whose body was not found until almost a week later but see how so confident azikiwe already was that Balewa wouldn't be found alive

Do you have a book, or intelligence or archive reports you can refer me to so I can verify the bolded?

Are there records of this police report that communicated this coup? There has to be a documentary trail somewhere at the very least.

Thanks.

And Arthur Unegbe? An Igbo military officer killed in an “Igbo” coup.

Lt Col Arthur Unegbe was from Asaba in Midwest and he was also a very tight friend of the assassinated Brig. Maimailari whom the coup plotters believe unegbe would have stopped at nothing to defend

It was not everyone that was eaten up by Tribalism

Many Anioma insist that they are not Igbos
But are People of Edo Origin who speak Igbo.

For example Americans and Australia speak English but are not English

It's even more damning to Ironsi to claim he knew first hand of the coup and yet still did nothing to root out the mutinous officers behind it .

If today any of the alphabet soup Inteligence networks we have today have a strong suspicion of a coup they will first and foremost inform the President and the CDS. The CDS being informed of a potential coup threat is expected to act swiftly on it by convening a Joint Staff meeting of the Army COAS, Naval and Air Force chiefs.

The fact that you are now trying to hammer on Ironsi being the one who first blew the whistle on a coup -which is totally false, and still doing nothing to quell it shows either Ironsi being grossly incompetent or the one behind the coup plot.

Provide a credible source to this else it remains beer parlour gossips

APCHaram:
I thank God that Maj. General Ejoor granted an exclusive interview with one of the leading national dailies a few years before his death.

Ejoor remains the only one who has spoken extensively about the events of Jan 15 and how it led to the civil war.

Note that Ejoor was penciled down to be eliminated that night in his ikoyi hotel room which ifeanjuna had personally booked him and other officers including Lt Pam.

Ejoor escaped death by the whiskers after requesting a room change over a noisy air-conditioning unit.

At the dead of the night Ifeanjuna stormed the hotel and with his men opened fire on the assigned room Ejoor was supposed to be in.

Ejoor was awakened by the barrage of machine gun shots and after listening from his new room found out this was a military operation and from there placed a call to Ironsi to inform him that something was amiss.

You can search the interview here using NL search button.

Ejoor will then later return to his command post in Enugu and when his fellow Ibo officers saw him , they thought he was a ghost because they expected him to have been killed. Ejoor quickly mobilised all the officers and men under his command to address them. The officers under Ejoor were all ibos but the majority of the men were northerners. Fearing that Ejoor will reveal more to the northern troops , the conspiracy took another twist with the involvement of the regional police head who summoned Ejoor to a meeting. Ejoor sensing danger skipped town and went back to Lagos to meet Ironsi. When Ejoor was summoned to Ironsi's office, he was greeted by a loaded gun pointed at him by Ironsi from behind his desk.

As per the counter-coup, the remaining junior officers' of northern background had come to see the coup as a purge of their senior officers from the military and removal of other ethnic leaders. They had concluded that sooner or later the purge will extend to them and so hence why they struck back and HARD.

The OP think here is his village WhatsApp group were he can spew blatant lies.

The murder of Unegbe does not excuse the main driving motive of the coup and can never be used to wash off the tribal agenda that motivated that dastardly act.

Did Ojukwu not later execute many of his own men for being "sabos"?

DMerciful:
Provide a credible source to this else it remains beer parlour gossips

The entire interview was posted here in a thread .

I will search for the link.

And reply to you again with it.

One thing I can recall from that thread was how many of you IP0B rats were insulting Chief David Ejoor .


The man survived three assassination attempts in Lagos , Enugu and later as Midwest military Governor in Benin.


Funny thing is that Ejoor as Military Governor of Midwest excerscing his full authority under Gowon's short lived Decree 8 that rescinded Ironsi's decree 34, that saw to regional armies, refused to have Northern troops invade Biafra through the Midwest. This was despite Gowon warning Ejoor that most of the Anioma officers under his command were sympathetic to Enugu and for this reason Gowon refused to arm the Midwestern region with weapons. Ojukwu sensing this weakness ordered officers under Ejoor to seize power from him and have him killed. It was after escaping from being killed by same Anioma officers loyal to Enugu that Ojukwu sent his Biafran troops to occupy the Midwest and instal the buffon Maj Okonkwo as a stooge puppet ordering him to declare Republic of Benin.

As we all know it's from the Midwest Ojukwu who had claimed to have secceded from Nigeria began his putsch to capture Lagos and the entire Western region.

It was idiocy fueled madness starting from Jan 15 till the end of the war in January 1970.

According to the OP, Ironsi knew of a coup plot and had warned the PM. But same Ironsi efused to do anything to have it thwarted.

Fast forward after the coup had taken place and those behind it arrested, what prevented the Ironsi rogue military government that seized power on the heels of that coup from duly arraigning the arrested masterminds and orchestrators of that coup?

Adaka Boro's seccesionist movement was quickly brought to halt with brutal military efficiency on the orders of Ironsi which ojukwu oversaw. Adaka was quickly arrested , driven to Lagos totally n@ked and thrown in prison and a trial quickly conducted that handed Boro a death sentence for High Treason. All these while nothing was being said about the "arrested " coup plotters.

Again, read the first two paragraphs from the page of this book.

Ironsi didn’t have sufficient details on the coup plotters.

Your attempt to twist my words is dead on arrival.

At the bolded, is the argument about who first blew the whistle on the coup? OR who exactly informed the top politicians!

There is something called structure and hierarchy in governance.

So E Branch bypassed the Head of Military and informed the top politicians of the January 1966 coup abi?

Humour me some more.

Use your common sense sef, where exactly did I mention Ironsi uncovered the coup plot? At his level as a military head, is that his job? 🤷

I repeat and I will still say, IRONSI COMMUNICATED TO THE TOP POLITICIANS OF AN IMPENDING COUP PLOT ON JANUARY 12, 3 DAYS BEFORE THE COUP!

The E Branch would have definitely uncovered that yes? 🤷

Abi they will report the coup plot to Ironsi if he was still part of the coup plotters abi?

Make I burst laugh first.

OkCornel:

Your Max Solihull has it documented in his book .

Go and read it and see where he stated categorically that it was the E-Branch of the once very professional Nigerian Police that provided strong Inteligence of an impending coup to both the PM and Ironsi.

Ironsi never informed anyone and the PM expected Ironsi to act and quell the mutiny within his chain of command.

But Ironsi did nothing and even the PM had resigned his fate in God's hands and that's why his demeanour throughout his abduction and kidnap by the idiot ifeanjuna showed that he knew very well he was facing a losing battle knowing full well that Zik who was instrumental in seeing Ironsi who was the least qualified among the 3 most senior officers nominated by the outgoing British military commander becoming the head of the army , would have resisted as President in seeing Ironsi removed .


Note that Brig. Mailamiri was spoken of among the three officers being nominated as the most qualified professional soldier to take over from the outgoing British Maj General in his brief to Azikiwe. Ironsi came a distant third after the Yoruba guy who was second in the list. But Zik chose the incompetent Ironsi. And that's why Ejoor was right to say that the coup was an Ibo coup that was being plotted from the day of
independence.

Zik as president had the sole powers to appoint heads of the military , police , judiciary and even VCs of universities and he went about appointing only his fellow ibos in most of the positions he could .

The information was shared to the PM and other senior NPC members before it was sent to Ironsi to act upon it.

Ironsi was only on that list because he was the most senior officer .

He never attended any military officer course like his fellow peers on the list . He was a korrofo apprentice officer who got converted .


The Fulani brigadier General was the top of the list and British Major General wrote glowingly of his capabilities.

Picking Ironsi was like choosing ojukwu over Gowon.

Gowon was a trained professional officer from Sandhurst while ojukwu had no business in the army.

If not because of bastardisation of the current police force by past military regimes do you think the military anywhere on the planet is above the police ?

If the FBI has strong reason for a coup in the US they will raid every officers home that is involved without question.

The police boss back then answered to the supervising minister who in turn report to the PM and the PM works with cabinet members.


Ironsi never informed anyone of a coup and he was only brought up to notice by the PM to which Ironsi never acted upon the security dossier.
