Kaduna Nzeogwu: The Major Who Ended Nigeria's First Republic in 1966

Major Patrick Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was the first Nigerian to become an officer in Military Intelligence. Born in February 1937, he was only 20 when he joined the Nigerian Army in March 1957. From officer training in Teshie, Ghana, the young man was moved to the elite Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst in the United Kingdom where, after two years of training, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant in 1959. Chukwuma Nzeogwu was simply a man carried away by youthful exuberance. A soldier who wanted the best for his country, bold and brave, who did not understand that the problem with Nigeria was more than a band of young Majors could solve with the barrel of a gun. Nzeogwu was smart and lucky. He was well-loved by many of his fellow officers and subordinates. However, his superiors disliked him. The Major was seen as one who believed he knew it all. They, therefore, sent him to the Nigeria Military Training College (NMTC) Kaduna to train future officers. He was not to be trusted with a command position. And Nzeogwu was there as Chief Instructor. #HistoryVille #KadunaNzeogwu You can get A Carnage Before Dawn, a historical account of how Nzeogwu and co. carried out Nigeria’s first coup d’état on Amazon.
