Inside the Dimka Coup: From Murtala’s Death to the struggle to Appoint Obasanjo as Head of State
Godwin Alabi-Isama, author of The Tragedy of Victory, revisits one of Nigeria’s most turbulent moments, the Dimka coup of 1976. In this segment, he recounts the assassination of Head of State General Murtala Mohammed, the frantic mobilisation to crush the uprising and the tense struggle to appoint Olusegun Obasanjo as the next leader. Alabi-Isama also details how an order for Ibrahim Babangida to arrest Lt. Col. Buka Suka Dimka failed, adding another layer of intrigue to the drama. His eyewitness account offers rare insight into the chaos, courage and political manoeuvring that reshaped Nigeria’s military and political landscape.
