on February 13, 1976, that's 39 years ago! Murtala Muhammed was killed at age 37, along
with his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Akintunde
Akinsehinwa , in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka, when his car was ambushed
while en route his office at Dodan Barracks ,
Lagos . He was succeeded by the Chief of
Staff, Supreme HQ Olusegun Obasanjo, who
completed his plan of an orderly transfer to
civilian rule by handing power to Shehu
Shagari on October 1, 1979. Today, his portrait
adorns the 20 Naira note and Murtala
Muhammed International Airport in Lagos is
named in his honor.

His bullet-riddled metallic-black Mercedes Benz 230.6 car is displayed up till today at the National
Museum, Onikan, Lagos state.

# today is special, because it's a Friday just like 13th feb1976. Thus I request Seun, his moderators to look into moving this to F.P to serve as a reminiscent of the great leader.

the great Gen. Nigeria still made a little sense then but coup never made us enjoy good governance.
# in case it later got to F.p share. FTC
