Never again in this country shall we forget that the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain. God bless Nigeria.
NEVER AGAIN will we allow such impunity and wickedness to reign in our national affairs or allow it to go unpunished… Never again will we allow our leaders to be slaughtered like flies in their homes all in the name of a mindless, genocidal and futile grab for power… Never again shall we forget that the labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain.
Two others were also abducted by the mutineers from their homes that night and brutalised. Thankfully they both managed to escape with their lives. The second was Sir Kashim Ibrahim, the governor of the old Northern Region, who was rescued and freed by loyalist forces in Kaduna. Thankfully and despite the massive bloodletting and carnage, the coup and mutiny of 15th of January 1966 failed and the perpetrators were either killed, arrested and incarcerated or they ran out of the country.
They were martyred for Nigeria and we pray that their beautiful and gallant souls continue to rest in peace.
