The Final Moments of Sir Ahmadu Bello During the January 1966 Coup

This post gives a detailed account of the final moments of Sir Ahmadu Bello during the January 1966 military coup. It explores how Major Patrick Nzeogwu and other officers allegedly carried out the attack. I admire Bello’s courage and leadership. May his soul and those of the other victims rest in peace.

It's interesting how the narrative frames Nzeogwu's role so precisely, yet some sources challenge that version.

I'm not fully convinced that courage alone explains Bello's decisions under fire; context often shapes our view.
