GOOD AND BAD MOMENT IN THE NIGERIAN HISTORY }1862(JANUARY15)
Junior officer 👮 of the Nigeria Arm, Mostly major's overthrow the government in a coup d'etat.
Most of whom were Igbo,assassinated Balawa in Lagos,Akintola in Ibadan,and Bello in Kaduna,as well as some senior northern 👮 officer. The coup leaders pledge to established a strong and efficient government committed to a progressive program and eventually to new Election.
They vowed to stop the postelection violence and stamp out corruption that that they said was rife in the civilian administration. General Johnson T.Aguiyi-ironsi,the most senior military officers, and incidentally an Easter (Igbo),stepped in to restore order, become the Head of StateGistme
