January 1966 Coup: Why We Struck

The Nigerian military violently brought the First Republic to an abrupt end in a bloody operation on 15 January 1966, when a group of young officers led by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu struck at the heart of the political order. In one night, the leadership of the era was decimated. Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was murdered, along with the Premiers of the Northern and Western Regions. Senior civilian officials and high-ranking military officers were also cut down in what became an orgy of violence. The coup shattered Nigeria’s fragile democratic experiment and ushered in a new and turbulent era in the nation’s politics.
