The decomposing body of Nigeria's first Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, was discovered in a remote bush along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway (near Ifo and Ota) on January 21, 1966. He was abducted from his Lagos home during the January 15, 1966 military coup.Discovery and Aftermath:The Location: His remains, alongside those of Finance Minister Festus Okotie-Eboh, were found by a police patrol team led by then-Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ahmad Babankowa.The Break: Veteran journalist Aremo Olusegun Osoba (then reporting for the Daily Times) was the first to break the historic story on January 23, 1966.

Point of Correction:
As reported by the veterans Journalist - "the body of the PM was found and confirmed to be "STILL FRESH"! However the body of the Finance minister Festus okotie-eboh found alongside the PM was already decomposing.

You don't need to advice or remind them, they should continue, God's reward and nature's reward are already catching up with them even as their kinsman is the President destroying Nigeria on daily basis.


They will learn by force, nature will make them realize how inhumane they have been to the Easterners. We are only seeing the beginning of the rewards

Stop deceiving yourself. The packaged Agulu fraud can't be President of Nigeria. Not his level.

Armaggedon:
What about operation wetie?

Balewa was killed during operation wetie? Is that the new generational lie you lot are planning to whip up?

People should point accusing fingers to the military for this coup instead of a particular ethnic group. All the subsequent coups were tagged military but this particular one is tagged ethnic. Why? There will not be peace for the wicked. Those who stir hatred and division for political gains will receive their retributive justice.

Why? Can you name another coup in Nigeria where 95% of the coup plotters came from a particular region, and among all the military and civilian leaders executed, none was from that region? Lemme help you. Of the 4 most important personalities in the government, 3 were Igbos. Who was assassinated? The only non Igbo among them. Of the premiers of the 3 major regions then, only one premier was spared: the Igbo premier. Igbos had many senior officers in the army then. The head of the army was even Igbo, but no senior Igbo officer was killed, despite many senior officers from other tribes were killed. You lot can foooool yourselves all you want. You think others lack cognition.

Awolowo was truly an evil man.

Thank God Igbos did not allow Tinubu to use Cubana chief priest, as Awolowo used Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna, to cover his incompetent ass and blame Igbos for the fallout.

Lolz. The laughable lies you lot love fooooling yourselves with.

Lolz. The laughable lies you lot love fooooling yourselves with.

President Babangida will bear us witness.

Awolowo was a bloodthirsty genocidist.
The fact that he killed Balewa and the Sadauna so brutally and starved millions of women and children to death, will never be forgotten
