Keegan:
In the early hours of
January15 1966 Nzeogwu decided to
turn “Exercise Damisa” into a full
blown military coup. Nzeogwu led a
group of soldiers into a bush adjacent
to the Premier’s lodge. Once there
Nzeogwu informed the men of their
real mission: they were to attack the
Premier’s lodge. Nzeogwu and his men
blew open the gates to the Sardauna’s
lodge and Nzeogwu personally
conducted a search of the residence –
hunting for Bello. After losing his
temper at his initial failure to locate
him, Nzeogwu found Bello hiding with
his wives. Bello was shot by Nzeogwu.
Bello’s faithful bodyguard who came to
defend him with a bow and arrows was
also shot, as well as one of his wives
who tried to shield him with her body.
Nzeogwu was fiercely committed to
the coup and was the only one of the
coupists able to execute his mission.
His personal assertion that “it is
impossible to vote out a Nigerian
minister” showed his own conviction in
his actions.
BRIGADIER ADEMULEGUN
Nzeogwu’s co-conspirator in Kaduna:
Major Tim Onwuategwu, personally led
a detachment of soldier to Brigadier
Ademulegun’s house. Onwuategwu
made his way up to the Brigadier’s
bedroom where he was laying beside
his wife. Upon seeing Onwuategwu
enter the room, Ademulegun shouted
at him “Timothy, what the devil do
you think you are doing?” (see Gbulie”
“Nigeria’s Five Majors”). Onwuategwu
told Ademulegun that he was “under
arrest”. According to the Majors’
version of events, Ademulegun
reached for a drawer beside his bed,
and as he did so, Onwuategwu shot
him dead in his bed, along with
Ademulegun’s wife who was lying
beside him.
COLONEL SHODEINDE
The head of the NMTC Colonel Ralph
Shodeinde was also killed. The manner
of his death is unclear. His wife (who
was present when he was killed)
testified that he was shot by several
soldiers including Majors Nzeogwu and
Onwuategwu. Other accounts claim
that a grenade was tossed at him. It is
not clear whether Nzeogwu could
possibly have been involved in
Shodeinde’s death since presumably
he was pre-occupied at the time with
killing Ahmadu Bello. Most accounts
place responsibly for Shodeinde’s
murder with Onwuategwu. The Majors’
bloodlust in some cases and failure to
kill others is puzzling. The same Major
Onwuategwu who shot his
commanding officers and their wives
arrested, but did not harm the
Governor of the northern region: Sir
Kashim Ibrahim. When released
Ibrahim vouched that he had been
treated with utmost respect by the
men who abducted him. The Majors
clearly had their “favourites” when it
came to sparing or ending lives.
Okay, meaning huh
