At yesterday’s visitation with #MNK, he instructed us as his team of lawyers to take vigorous legal action against any person or entity that henceforth refers to the unnecessary 1966 coup as an Igbo coup. Full list of the 1966 coup plotters & their ethnicities are as follows:
1. Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu — IGBO
2. Major Adewale Ademoyega — YORUBA
3. Major E. Ifeajuna — IGBO
4. Capt. G. Adeleke — YORUBA
5. Capt. Gibson Jalo — BALI
6. Capt. Swanton — MIDDLE BELT
7. Lt. Fola Oyewole — YORUBA
8. Lt. R. Egbiko — ESAN
9. Lt. T. Katsina — HAUSA/FULANI
10. Lt. O. Olafemiyan — YORUBA
11. Lt. Hope Eghagha — URHOBO
12. Lt. Dag Warribor — IJAW
13. 2nd Lt. Saleh Dambo — HAUSA
14. 2nd Lt. John Atom Kpera — TIV
Out of 14, ONLY 2 were Igbo; why Igbo traducers & Igbophobic falsifiers of history tagged it “IGBO COUP” only God knows.
Such unfounded and unjustifiable hatred is why MAZI NNAMDI KANU is in detention without trial. Being the quintessential leader that he is, he doesn’t want any Igbo person to go through what he has experienced at the hands of the judiciary in Nigeria.
