How Aguiyi-Ironsi Outsmarted Everyone on 16 Jan. 1966

Описание: In actual sense, the army mutiny of Saturday, January 15, 1966 failed. Despite the failure of the mutiny led by the young army Majors, the government of Tafawa Balewa and Nnamdi Azikiwe was still toppled by the military the next day. So, was there a coup within a coup? Did Aguiyi-Ironsi coerced the ministers into handover power, or was it a voluntary handover as was reported? #happynewyear #history #hisplemedia
