THE PATHETIC STORY OF THE NIGERIAN COUP OF 1976.PART 5

The petition exposed the ill treatment meted out to fellow officers by the head of state and the way,he was governing the country.It was written by unhappy petitioner to the military high command.Infact the book Just Before Dawn,written by Professor Kole Omotosho,talks about the petition.He was able to recall the petition incident way back in kaduna.He could still recollect that Dimka stayed in kaduna for two days where he visited the officers that were coup plotters.He was able to link all these events together,after that coup.It was the captains and majors that went for the exams that plotted the coup.So Dabang was sick and he wanted them to shift the coup execution date.But they said it could if they waited and while he was in the hospital,Dimka that came in midway and the rest executed the coup.Now,the funniest part of it is that how did they rope Gomwalk in?Gomwalk was in no way involved in that coup except in small incident according to Goyol,which Could still not a link.The late Governor was cheated.
