Murtala Mohammed was Nigeria’s former military head of state. He became president on July 30, 1975.

During his brief stint as Nigeria’s leader, he acquired a reputation as a leader who traveled about without the fanfare typically associated with leaders in Nigeria. He hardly traveled in a convoy of attached vehicles. He was not known to blare sirens whenever he traveled in his car. He often travels incognito.

On February 13, 1976, while on his way to his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, a group of soldiers ambushed his car.

Murtala Muhammed, aged 37, was shot and killed, along with his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa, in his black Mercedes Benz saloon in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka,

The black Mercedes Benz saloon is kept at the National Museum, Lagos. The well-maintained car still has over 20 bullet holes on its.

The assassinated President's car attracts 2000 tourists monthly.

The car is perhaps the most well-maintained car in Nigeria today.

What do you think?

May his Soul rest in peace

The only head of state that wanted to liberate the nation from the grip of the western world.

Please where is national museum located? I want to visit that place

:D7

Reason he was killed anyhow

I remember Dat black day like yesterday. Sleep well sir

In his few months as commander of the federal republic of 9ja, the whole nation witnessed real change. He is d best leader dis nation ever had......with d look of tinz nw, probably will ever have.....jst in 6 months

His only mistake was dat he has a good heart towards his enemies. He retired all those savages who ruined the country @ dat time and banished dat stupid Gowon to exile. these crooks came 2geda and finish him off.

lesson. .......after cutting d head of d snake, burn it and feed it to d pigs coz u neva know.
murtala was God sent to Nigeria but his good heart did not only instigate his demise it also open d door to stupid leaders like OBJ, IBB, Buhari etc. which 9ja is yet to recover from

Hide the truth,
Hate the truth.
The truth above there always prevails.
