OkCornel:Heard of the FSB and it's equivalent FBI? In most countries out there, the Police force is pàramount to internal security and not the army. On whose investigative report that formed the major damning evidence that was used to prosecute and convict Awolowo for treason ? Was it not the same Police E-Branch. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:33pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:So…who is the FBI equivalent in Nigeria empowered to arrest mutineers in the first republic hmmm? And while at it, where is the screenshot from Siollun’s book where the EBranch communicated the names of the mutineers to Ironsi? |

OkCornel:It's seems you don't have sense. This is why I am telling you that the Nigerian army under Ironsi was not the one that informed the PM. How can Ironsi know of a coup and not take drastic action to thwart it but went to report to the PM and according to you was waiting for the PM's directive to bring his mutinous officers and men to order? Does this make sense to you ? How can Ironsi not being part of a purported coup plot go and sleep and leave everything to the civilian government to fix his own army knowing fully well a coup may see him most likely removed or killed? You see why you people reason with your anus? |

APCHaram:You go bark tire. https://www.nairaland.com/8318912/foiled-january-15-1966-coup/4#133850103 Read the screenshot from Segun’s book. He must have been reasoning with his anus when he wrote that right?. We are still waiting for screenshots from that Siollun’s book. Read history and tell us who foiled the January 15 1966 coup. Oh wait, I guess the mutineers suddenly had a change of heart and walked into jail. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 8:36pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:The E branch or espionage branch was the branch of the police dedicated to such crimes. I have stated it here for you severally. Go and read Siolluns book and slowly this time and see how he detailed the events leading to the coup and how the E branch were the ones who informed the PM and not your apprentice General . |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 8:38pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:What's my business with that rubbish ? And why are you not quoting your numerous Biafran propagandist sources? You don see one Segun to quote . Pathetic. Go and sleep. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:39pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:And why didn’t they arrest the mutineers bearing in mind the police reports to the PM? What did the PM do when he got the intelligence report? |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:40pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:Finally your lie is exposed. No screenshot from Siollun’s book where the names of the mutineers were communicated to Ironsi by the EBranch hmmm? |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:43pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:Interesting how you played the tribal card after your frustrations. I never gave a hoot about your tribe. I’m focused on the matter we are discussing here. Tribalists sha |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 8:49pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:Lolz. See this one whose thread is meant to wash the tribal stink off the tribal coup committed by your fellow ibos is here accusing me of being a tribal bigot. Shameless hypocrite. Ok let me indulge you,Ironsi informed the PM of a coup. What actions were put in place by Ironsi who headed the army to see that the coup was averted? I need your answer for the above now. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 8:51pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:I am not your errand boy and I am not going to spoon feed you information here. I am sure you have a copy of that useless revisionist book . I had it but have since discarded it. Go and pore through its pages of lies and half truths and see were the author referenced the E branch of the Police as the ones who informed the PM. The PM passed the information to Ironsi who never acted upon it. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:54pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:For the umpteenth time, in Segun’s book… Ironsi didn’t have details of the coup plotters. But you insist he had the details of the coup plotters which were communicated to him by the E Branch. Oya provide screenshot from Siollun’s book. You can’t provide anything. The best course of action is to change the military formation/architecture but of course Ironsi cannot just do that without oversight. Checks and balances, abuse of power. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 8:54pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:If you had the evidence, you would have provided it since. Shame on you for lying on Siollun. Na PM inform Ironsi of coup attempt. Clap for yourself. |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 9:01pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:The PM passed the security dossier to Ironsi who never responded to it. That communication was .ore of a query letter to Ironsi to answer what was going on under his command of the army. But Ironsi never responded to the PM nor investigated the coup plot allegation. How can someone in charge of the army not act upon a coup plot of the government he is serving? The only one who will not act is someone who knew very well of the plot and was part of it from the start. |

| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by OkCornel(op): 9:03pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
APCHaram:Can you provide the screenshot from the book(s) backing up this wonderful claim of yours? |
| Re: January 15, 1966 - Arthur Unegbe Killed For Not Handing Over Keys To The Armoury by APCHaram: 9:03pm On Jan 24, 2025 |
OkCornel:Whose Segun ? The latest upper iweaka best selling author ? David Ejoor has since spoken of the entire coup events . His words are more than truthful than one 0koro writing under a pseudonym to sell his cheap lies. |

You are essentially dumb and a classic retard. Just see your futile attempt at revisionist acts.. You have been exposed as a certified lowlifer with brains of a skunk... Okcornel, has just exposed how daft you are....Ozuor APCHaram: |

APCHaram:Find this book In Selected Nigerian Problems by Segun Johnson. Of course, Segun Johnson is conveniently from upper Iweka since his narrative doesn’t align yours. Pitiable display of tribalism. Here’s the link to the book: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Siyan-Oyeweso/publication/353381201_The_1966_Coups_D'etat_and_the_Nigerian_Civil_War/links/60fab1f70c2bfa282af63d50/The-1966-Coups-Detat-and-the-Nigerian-Civil-War.pdf |

Kafirbigot:So your Ironsi informed the PM but did nothing to avert the coup. A coup that could have seen him either killed or at best removed from his position as the head of the army. Try another lie abeg. How can Ironsi with all good conscience knowing about a coup who you all claim he was never part of but did nothing to avert it. What information did Ironsi pass to the PM regarding the coup that he could not have seen it brought to a close through his authority? On whose command were all the Nigerian Army officers and men under ? Is it the PM that will come and root out coup plotters from the military after Ironsi said there was an imminent coup as claimed by you liars? Make e pain you well because as long as e dey pain we are getting somewhere because all truths are first violently resisted before slowly being accepted as facts. |

It's easy to see why the narrative of the COUP still exist. It was termed an IGBO coup for a reason. To imagine other more bloody coups took place and those that engineered them were not stereotyped by tribe or religion, shows that NIGERIA as a country is GONE. As for me ..I appreciate how you set the records straight and how you put facts in perspective. Cheers mate! OkCornel: |

APCHaram:Ademoyega, one of the participants in the coup also wrote a book. He emphatically mentioned it was not an Igbo coup. Is Ademoyega from Upper Iweka too? Read this excerpt from his book. Although the leaked Special Branch report—which this author has read—and certain writers who want to justify the argument that the coup was an Igbo plot claim there was no coup attempt in the eastern /mid-western regions, governed by Igbo politicians, information from Ademoyega show the contrary. In his book, Ademoyega alluded to the difficulties the plotters had in recruiting officers. Major Chude-Sokei was one of their successes and was put in charge of the East. But before the coup, he was sent abroad for a course. Ifeajuna and company replaced him with one Lieutenant Oguchi, who was on a course in Lagos. His vehicle broke down on his way to the East from Lagos—he only got to the East in the early hours of the 15th. |

APCHaram:Maybe Siollun is another “Okoro” from Upper Iweka when he wrote this: In Max Silloun’s book, “Oil, Politics and Violence: Nigeria’s Military Coup Culture” (page 54), he wrote: “Contrary to popular myth, a coup was attempted in Enugu (East) and Benin (Mid-west). Overnight Major Ifeajuna sent orders to the first battalion in Enugu asking them to deploy soldiers to take over key installations and arrest government ministers in Enugu and Benin. As there was no military formation in the Mid west, no soldiers could be deployed directly from the region. For several hours the officers mulled over the strange but seemingly legitimate order (my explanation: operationally, the first battalion was under the command of the Lagos-based second brigade commanded by Brigadier Maimalari. Ifeajuna was the brigade major and could pass off instructions in that capacity, but they must be approved by Maimalari, a no-nonsense officer who trusted his brigade major. Alas, he was not aware of the illegality Ifeajuna was perpetrating in his official capacity). Finally, they took position at the Enugu airport in the early hours of the morning. A different company of soldiers under Captain Joseph Ihedigbo also headed to the Mid west region’s capital of Benin. The Igbo premier of the region Dennis Osadebey subsequently speculated that the life of the Eastern region’s premier, Dr. Michael Okpara, was spared because the head of state of Cyprus, Archbishop Makarios, was his guest at the time of the coup. A more plausible reason for Okpara’s survival is that the officer assigned to arrest him (Lieutenant Oguchi) was one of those who advocated a bloodless coup. As soon as Makarios departed to return to Cyprus, Okpara was arrested.” |
