This is very commendable
This is false story.


The man was killed together by ironsi by northern soldiers.

Instead of Yorubas to confront Northerners they changed the narrative that Fajuyi asked Northerners to kill him.

That Fajuyi 'elected ' to die for Aguiyi Ironsi is a lie concocted by the Lagos- Ibadan expresway media houises. Fajuyi was clearly marked for death by the coup-plotters.
Fajuyi was killed alongside Ironsi for displaying extreme loyalty not as a soldier to another soldier but as a host to his visitor.

The honest truth about you guys is that every good deed done to you guys is seen as weakness.

As for me I have come to see you guys as harmless enemies and treacherous friends

You’re wrong..

When the coup plotters arrived at Fajuyi’s residence in Ibadan, it was only Ironsi they requested for. But he insisted he wouldn’t hand his boss and friend to them. He negotiated with them for them to reach a plea agreement but those ones already had their mind made up..

Then he used the phrase… *Its either you take us together or you don’t take anyone at all. They had no choice than to do the needful..
Hahaha... Let me even ask you. Does what you just wrote make sense to you? Will you, a Yoruba man even die for another Yoruba man talk less of an Igbo? Read:

The specific course that linked Lt. Colonel Fajuyi to the January 1966 coupists in the eyes of the counter-coup plotters was the Battle Group Course he commanded at Abeokuta in September 1965.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of how this training course became a critical factor in the July 1966 counter-coup:

1. The Stated Suspicion
The counter-coup plotters were convinced that Fajuyi had used the Battle Group Course as a covert platform to recruit and train the officers who would later execute the January 15, 1966 coup.

This belief was explicitly stated by key participants in the July 1966 counter-coup:

Lieutenant William Walbe (one of the abductors) said: "We suspected him of being party to the January coup. You remember the battle group course which he held at Abeokuta... All those who took part in the January coup were those who had taken part in that course. It gave us the impression that the battle course was arranged for the January coup, so he had to suffer it too."

Major Theophilus Danjuma (who led the coup) echoed this, stating that the plotters were "dead sure that Fajuyi was part of the January coup because Nzeogwu then and others rehearsed the coup on Sardauna’s place several times in Kachia during a training camp that was commanded by Fajuyi."

Fajuyis attitude has made me to vehemently refuse to join those who perceive the yoruba nation as betrayals. It should also serve as a big lesson to those who always rely on the attitude of few individuals to draw conclusion on the attitude of a group of people. It has also made me to understand that both aguyi and fajuyi were innocent, but were only murdered by some power seekers in the military.

Why they find it to believe cos they can't do same. it is strange to them. kudos to the late general Fajuyi. Yorubas overtime as been caring for igbos but they pay with hatred and bitterness. Yorubas didn't stop you for presidency. they are just to smart politically and that is why they will continue to be position politically.

We can see how Awolowo care for Igbos by ceasing Igbos money in the bank and starving over 3 million Igbo kids to death.

Igbophobia:
The same Danjuma made it clear that Fajuyi was actively negotiating for his own life. What made you think the man who held the course that the coup plotters of the July coup saw as a cover for the January coup would not be on the assassination list? Here's what I just got from LLM:
Fajuyi served in training and command role in the Nigerian army...


It's not unusual for soldiers to pass through his training in the NA. They is no specific account of him training coup plotters.


This your account is surprising because it's the first time I'm seeing anything linking fajuyi to the coup both directly and indirectly. Talk less of danjuma saying dead sure.
shocked. Danjuma never said that.

Provide links to where you got your version from.

This sounds like someone turning history on its head!

All this lies were dish out to be in good book of Northerners.

he wasn't elected to die, he was given an option to leave, the assailants clearly came for ironsi but he couldn't stand the guilt of the death of his superior he in his house. During that time military loyalty matters. He told them if they're to kill his boss they should kill him as well in psychology it's called Altruistic sacrifice... kiss

You are unlike those whose Military Officer fathers fled for their lives back to their Region nstead of rescuing both Fajuyi and Ironsi while there was still chance to save them alive

Instead of some people to keep quiet on something they know nothing about but out of hatred keeps on uttering nonsense.

Is he more informed about the incident than the family that issued the statements?

So because of trying to make or prove a false point.. you are using two separate accounts in the same thread. Phobia really deh your body.

I won't generalize, but as commented above, some of you is better to be seen as harmless enemies and treacherous friends.

ironsi was innocent, but was murdered by some power seekers in the military. If he was guilty, there was no way obj would have allowed Alex ekwueme to become the vice president of Nigeria. For your information, one of the son's of ironsi has been the minister of defence for state during obj regime as a civilian president. That your perception of the 1966 coup as an Igbos coup is not true.

Fajuyi didn't die for anyone.



I have a question for you since you don't have the mind to face Northerners and ask them questions.


Was Fajuyi killed in shoot out defending Ironsi?

What was so hard for the northern soldiers to kill their target and leave Fajuyi?
Re: Aguiyi-Ironsi Family Honours Fajuyi’s ‘Supreme Sacrifice’ by ElSudani: 10:25am On Jun 05
When things got hot:
Azikiwe ran away
Ojukwu ran away
Chinua Achebe ran away. Those who stood and damned the consequences were.
Adekunle Fajuyi
Olusegun Obasanjo
Obafemi Awolowo
Moshood Abiola
Wole Soyinka, just to mention a few.
These are facts, all documented and verifiable. End of story.

Who killed Premier Akintola

The annoying thing was that Capt Nwoboisi could have apologised when he made a public statement on the issue around 2021.

He could have said it was a mistake of his youthfulness instead he justified his killing of Akintola

That could never bring healing

the reason why majority of igbos participated in the 1966 coup was to free awolowo who was illegally detained by the fulanis as their stooge, akintola

That Fajuyi 'elected ' to die for Aguiyi Ironsi is a lie concocted by the Lagos- Ibadan expresway media houses. Do you know why that lie was necessary? They didn't want any confrontation with the Fulani north at that time just as they wouldn't want it now that even the same Fulani are kidnapping and killing people in the SW.

Fajuyi was clearly marked for death by the coup-plotters. They even lied that their source was a palmwine tapper who witnessed the execution of both men. When the fact of the matter is that when the coupist first arrested Fajuyi who went dowstairs to find out what was happening, Fajuyi actively tried to negotiate for his life in a bid to sell Ironsi away.

Fajuyi was in the 'marked for death' list of the coup plotters especially because they suspected him to be a part of the January '66 coup because he was the convener of the course under which canopy the coup was hatched.

This country is a crime scene, not just because of the evil perpetrated daily in it but also the propaganda and lies used to cover the bloodshed and betrayals.

Just read this excerpt and tell me if such a man was not a target:

We are talking about Fajuyi here,he was killed by Northern soldiers but you people can't question them about it, reason for the false claim he asked them to kill him.

Are you people now saying he committed suicide so no one should be blamed or asked questions about his death?



As you are asking who killed premier Akintola,Why can't you yorubas ask the same about Fajuyi?

Abi he's not a truly yoruba son?

in the first place akintola and others were killed by some military officers to sanitize Nigeria of corruption. Major ademuyoga was the most educated among the coup plotters. Ibb in his last book said that he heard that those politicians that were killed were in connection with the illegal detaintion of awolowo by the nothern fulanis and their stooge akintola.
