Did he confess why they couldn't leave him after killing their target?
Was there shoot out in defending Ironsi?


Would you as a yoruba have believed if na Igbo soldiers killed him and tell you the same thing northern soldiers told you that Fajuyi asked them to kill him?


Answer Yes or No for the last question.
Gen Danjuma said the Northern NCO's went berserk and stopped taking orders from their Northern officers after Gen Ironsi and Fajuyi had been arrested and taken away because they truly believed that if they didn't act fast Gen Ironsi's Juju would make him disappear grin

They stopped listening to all the Polished English their officers were talking and they took the matter into their own hands like typical Northern Dongaris ( Palace Guatds), the Sons of which many of them were

Asmanthinket:
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.
Capt Nwoboisi killed Premier Akintola

He failed to kpai Gen Ironsi,Okpara the Eastern Premier and Osadebey Premier of the Midwest from Asaba or any sing Eastern Polititian.
Not even those investigated and found to have been involved in corruption like Azikiwe,Orizu,Mbadiwe and Ikejiani


How does it now look to you?

I can tell you for free that such sacrifice will never happen again not at least for the ingrates' family. Thank you, Ironsi Family, for recognising the sacrifice but I can tell you we will never do such again for the haters

And Danjuma who allegedly pulled the trigger is still not remorseful for his actions, unfortunately Taraba has been suffering from his actions for long now.

Irony1:
Point of correction Fajuyi was a Lt Col he was never a General. Note that according to TY Danjuma Fajuyi was already a marked man by the July planners because all attempts at a speedy court martial of the Jan boys was blocked by Fajuyi and also it was rumored that Fajuyi provided support to the Jan boys during a training course in Abeokuta in 1965 where all the particpators in the course ended up in that coup.

The honorable thing Fajuyi did was to ask Danjuma to ensure that Ironsi's life was to be spared.
Stop lying. Danjumi NEVER SAID FAJUYI WAS MARKED. I REPEAT DANJUMI NEVER SAID FAJUYI WAS A TARGET.

If anything, danjumi said the plan was to bring Ironsi to Lagos for questioning n not to kill him. FAJUYI was never in the picture.
He even said he even gave his assurance to FAJUYI that no harm will come upon him that night.
FYI, Ironsi was meant to be killed when he travelled to Kaduna fr his regional tour but the northern politicians told the khakhi boys that his blood should not be spilled in the north.

That's why FAJUYI kept asking them that night why they arrested him in Ibadan and not elsewhere.
According to Danjuma, Ironsi was meant to travel to Lagos that evening where Murtala was waiting for him to arrest him, FAJUYI was the one who begged him to stay overnight.
When it became obvious Ironsi would be sleeping in Ibadan that night, Murtala instructed Danjuma to arrest him and dbring him to Lagos.

FAJUYI WAS NEVER IN THE PICTURE. he did what he had to do as a soldier who couldn't secure his terrain. Die in the battle.

Ironsi son said FAJUYI kept asking the soldiers why did u arrest him here in ibadan and not elsewhere.

This moniker has a special hatred for a particular region and religion in this country

Guess what for highlighting this fact the moderators banned my previous comment.

I think the moniker is also an APC defender that they now control the moderators.

When the great yoruba race had great and honourable men.Men like Fajuyi, Gani Fawehinmi, Pa Adebanjo, Pa Adesanya and the rest. They cannot be forgotten and may God rest their souls.
Today we have emilokan election grabbers and ronu chroners everywhere.

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.
No sane person will think of dieing for Igbos or supporting them to become president because at the end if they get to that position they will denying your support. Yorubas should prefer giving their support to the South South anytime anyday the presidency return to the South.

Irony1:
The way you guys spew some falshoods ehnnnnn when did Ajayi do anything for igbos was it not JC Taylor that translated bible to igbo how is it possible that Ajayi Crowther who doesn't even know igbo vowels translate igbo to English. Also the political term south East existed after 1996 constitutional conference. The same M. I okpara took care of HID Awolowo When Awo went to prison is what you are saying igbos have worked against SW interest.
Your types always denied while facts are available for you to verify. Ajayi Crowther safed your forefathers from hunger, he thought them how to plants maize.

Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther assisted South-East Nigeria by pioneering the Niger Mission in 1857, bringing Christianity, formal education, and Western literacy to local communities.

As the first African Anglican Bishop, he led all-African teams and facilitated the publication of early dictionaries and primers for the Igbo language.His specific assistance and footprint in the region include:Pioneering the Igbo Mission (1857): As part of the William Baikie Niger Expedition, Crowther, alongside his Igbo assistant Simon Jonas and Sierra Leonean clergyman J.C. Taylor, established the first mission station at Onitsha.

Promoting Literacy: He and his team produced the first book in Igbo, the Isoama-Ibo Primer (1857), and later published the first English-Igbo dictionary (1882), which laid the foundation for written Igbo in the South-East.

Evangelizing the Niger Delta (1864–1891): Following his 1864 consecration as Bishop of the Niger, he expanded operations into the South-South, establishing formidable mission stations in the riverine creeks.

Cultural Shifts: He established mission schools that displaced traditional totemic practices. Notably in Bonny (South-South), his evangelism led King George Pepple 1 and his chiefs to renounce the worship of the local iguana deity in 1867.

J.C. Taylor was working as assistant to Bishop Ajayi Crowther.

This came directly from the children of Aguiyi Ironsi... So any other story or opinion is a lie, fallacy and nonsense.....

Capt Nwoboisi was not in Ibadan Either
He was based at Abeokuta
They were all together


Even after seeing the extensive Tribal Bias of the Coup
Capt Nwoboisi didn't apologise for the Murder of Akintola , neither did he express any iota of displeasure that Ironsi, Okpara ,Osadebey ,Azikiwe and Ojukwu were spared

The second person murdered in Akintola's compound was not a soldier and not z Politician.
He didn't apologise for murdering him either

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?
Do you always oppose the Truth?

Prophesy!!!


A president will die (candidate) before 2027 presidential election.

Some Nigerians will advocate for Peter Obi to become president unopposed without conducting election.
While some Nigerians will oppose the idea and request for election to be conducted.

Peter Obi will become a consensus presidential candidate for Nigerians!!!
How old are you? Wishing a full human being death. Naaaaah. Even if his policies are biting; it doesn't warrant this type of hatred. Just because of Obi's presidency. What assurance do you have that if Obi becomes the president that he will perform. Or is not the same Obi that your people cursed during and after his tenure?

Obi and Atiku said they will remove fuel subsidy and float the naira. When Obi said this; were you expecting things to be rosy?

When Confronted on the Issue Gen Theophilus Danjuma expressed regret for the death of Fajuyi , unlike those still justifying Akintola's murder while at the same time protecting their own corrupt leaders .
Can you see the difference?

That was why Fajuyi's Son said that if he sees Gen Danjuma he would embrace him publicly and tell him he has forgiven him for his father's death

Go and read the interview of Fajuyi's son

Igbophobia:
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.
Seems the Ironsi family believes that "lie". I know anything against whatever hateful narrative you've being fed with sounds like a lie to you. Fajuyi was marked for death? Really? What made him specially marked for death that the other 3 regional heads were not marked? Oya, I'm waiting for the lie you'll use to explain that.
