Shettima, remember Jan ‘1966
By Emeka Obasi
The Governor of Northern Nigeria, Sir Kashim Ibrahim was being held prisoner in the Brigade Major’s Office while many Northern Nigeria soldiers surrounded the building demanding that he be killed for his important role in a regime of corruption, oppression and dishonesty. I clearly overheard Captain Onwuatuegwu trying very hard to convince the soldiers to spare the life of the Governor, and later threatening that the Governor could only be killed over his dead body.
In the end, Onwuatuegwu, with the timely intervention of Nzeogwu, saved the Governor’s life. Explaining later his reasons for protecting the Governor’s life, Onwuatuegwu said he was personally responsible for arresting the Governor during the night of the revolution. What impressed him was that the Governor, unlike many others, had behaved toward him very well, and had given him full cooperation during his arrest.’
