This video narrates the story of the gruesome assassination of General Murtala Mohammed, who at the time was the Military Head of State of Nigeria. He was assassinated by a group of soldiers led by Lt. Col. Buka Suka Dimka. Dimka was later captured in Afikpo in present day Ebonyi State and tried in a Special Military Tribunal which sat in Lagos. He was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad. The story is chilling and heart-wrenching.

    Great short documentary. Very informative and emotional for me to watch. I remember seeing Murtala's mercedes riddled with bullet holes at the national museum in Lagos when I was a primary school boy. I'm 38 yrs old now living in the US for the past 15 years. Still love and pray for my country Nigeria 🇳🇬🙏🏼.

    The audacity and bravery of these young military officers back then is so fascinating. These days, they're all so timid, the only time you see them move mad is against civilians. Smh! See how Dimka boldy admitted to it knowing his end would be death.
  • Captain Isa Bukar was my grandfather.. my mother said he was executed in his own country.. never been to Nigeria but now we know why he was executed

    Crazy how these guys were so young, in their thirties and playing kalo kalo with the destiny of this nation. I respect their boldness and audacity, especially seeing them in their uniforms. Youths are not given the chance these days.
