1966: HOW SAMUEL LADOKE AKINTOLA WAS ASSASSINATED

“Akintola, come down; you are for lawful arrest by the army on orders from HQ 2 Brigade,” Nwobosi shouted.

“Under arrest ke?” Akintola said to himself, “Oya, come and greet your mother’s husband,” as he cocked his gun.

When Nwobosi hit the door in an attempt to force it open, the Premier opened fire from inside his bedroom with a submachine gun, shooting contiguously and continuously through the closed door.

“Return fire,” Captain Nwobosi ordered his men, which they did, enormously.

“Please sir, surrender sir. Stop shooting, please. They only came to take us to Lagos,” Fani-Kayode pleaded and shouted from the landrover urging the Premier to cease firing and surrender. But the Premier kept on firing until he ran out of ammunition.

Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola was the 13th Aare Ona Kakanfo (Field Marshal General) of Yorubaland. A title, whose holder, according to a widely believed myth, was not expected to live long nor experience a calm death.

“Krrr, krrr,” the gun sounded. The Premier had run out of ammunition but the captain and his soldiers did not know this, they thought he was reloading and waiting for them. Akintola, now powerless, held out a white handkerchief in a sign of surrender and proceeded to the verandah. Ajao and Uloh who had been hiding in one of the other rooms grabbed him by his arms and dragged him downstairs.

“Bring him out, bring him out,” Nwobosi shouted repeatedly after the firing had ceased and he sighted his soldiers with the Premier downstairs.

“Now, now, boys. Be gentle. We are friends here,” Akintola said resignedly.

“You shot at us. You resisted arrest. It was a direct order from the HQ,” Nwobosi thundered, “we are to eliminate anyone who resisted arrest.”

“Boys, it is for the good of the country. Why don’t we negotiate? I will see to it that you treated well. I have the Prime Minister’s ears,” Akintola cajoled.

“We are soldiers, sir. We obey direct orders. Egbikor, Chukwu,” Nwobosi called his soldiers and signalled to the two men to open fire on the Premier. Fani-Kayode stared in horror as the Premier endured a deluge of bullets as he fell to his knees still gasping for breath. Nwobosi then joined them in firing at the Premier as he fell backward with a thud as life hurriedly escaped from him.

The Captain and his men then released the policemen and proceeded with Fani-Kayode in the landrover to Lagos as the 3-Ton truck headed towards Abeokuta. They all left Akintola’s mutilated body, riddled with bullets, surrounded by empty shell casings soaked in blood, lying there on the bare ground in his courtyard. The Aare Ona Kakanfo had fallen to his death. The curse persists. #HistoryVille

HMM

Hmmmm

Igbos killed akintola



Later they will be crying.


The day of recompense is coming.. For all the yorubas that igbos killed when no yoruba man killed any igbos...


Igbochief001 proudigbo helinues NGpatriot sageb legendhero ojio

Many more igbo will perish for the atrocities they orchestrated on other Nigerians but time will tell.

Nwobosi is still alive to give his own version. Akintola was given the opportunity to surrender peacefully but he chose to open fire. They returned fire and killed him, he was never captured alive

I'm happy col Nwobosi is alive to witness the result of igbo inordinate greed

My frnd shut ur trap. Ur chest beating only ends here. When d fire u re trying to ignite finallay start, hope u wil stay back nd face it nd not run

The igbos are the cause of their own misfortunes. From playing second fiddle to Tafawa Balewa to carrying out the first coup in an attempt to fix Azikiwe’s errors. They killed both Northern and Western political figures and spared the Easterners. What other outcome did you expect? You are the reason for what Nigeria is today. Though you paid the price during the war but you have lost the trust of every ethnic nationality in the country. Playing the victim now wouldn’t help your cause. I hope you get your Biafra but your political elites are still two-faced about it. Otherwise it’s an achievable goal.

Tinubu will not be president of Nigeria. If una like open threads about 1966 coup until NL crashes

These guys are not interested in the truth. This is just to console themselves for Tinubu's ongoing disgrace

Remi Fani-Kayode gave himself up peacefully to the same Nwobosi and was unharmed but that part of history is very inconvenient to their agenda.

They should save their data to campaign for Magu's release because Tinubu own don finish if a new EFCC chairman takes over

The book portrayed FFK's father as a coward

Yes but Osinbajo will

Igbo can have theirs in Biafra if it happens

Shut up.. He was captured n killed... We know history..

Nwobosi may lie that it was a returned fire but we know that akintola surrendered but Igbos are evil.

Adewale Ademoyega was one of the inner caucus of the coup, he has rubbished this your awada keri-keri allegation in his book. Please go and educate yourself. Finally..............................................................................Tinubu can NEVER be president

Constantjohn:
Yes but Osinbajo will

The north would rather Osinbajo becomes president than tinubu that I am sure. I personally would prefer him but north are not daft, they will not put a tinubu boy. Rather they would put Fayemi there

Not surprised. It's their hand work.

But Akintola died fighting, He was a Civilian but he kept shooting at the coward soldiers until he(Akintola) ran out of bullets just like MKO died fighting for his mandate.

However, Emeka Ojukwu the Biafran lord and saviour declared war in Nigeria and fled to Ivory Coast leaving millions of the brethren at the mercy of the rampaging Nigeria Army. Same thing, Lamidi Kanu did, he instigated his jobless brothers to go slap soldiers of Nigeria Army while he fled abroad with his wife.

Femi Fani Kayode's father High Chief Remi Fani Kayode took the coup plotters to Akintola's house. So, Femi Fani Kayode inherited betrayal and back stabbing from his father. Earlier Remi Fani Kayode and Samuel Ladoke Akintola jumped from the Yoruba party and joined the Northern party. They were the first to betray the Yorubas and the gods of the land dealth with them. Ogun the god of iron killed Samuel Ladoke Akintola while Aiyelala killed Remi Fani Kayode several years after.

If an Igbo man is president it will distract the Igbo masses from the importance of getting our own country or at least a semi-autonomous region. I welcome a president from anywhere as long as he isn't Tinubu or the Abuja efulefus like Moghalu or those apes in APC like Rochas

well said,Metaphysical come and see how this brother disgrace your in law

Nwobosi may lie that it was a returned fire but we know that akintola surrendered but Igbos are evil.

Even if he was captured alive, the fact that he was offered peaceful arrest, and he rejected that and chose to open fire, would have been enough reason for the troops to kill him.

Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, the 13th Aare Ona Kakanfo (Field Marshal General) of Yorubaland, committed suicide.

The fact that kanu declared biafra is enough to kill 3 millions like chicken...

Same thing
