Murtala Muhammed: Did the General Deserve to Die?

Murtala Muhammed was born Murtala Rufai Mohammed in Kano, Northern Nigeria on November 8, 1938. However, he changed his name to Murtala Ramat Muhammed when he became Nigeria’s military Head of State on July 30, 1975. In the early morning hours of February 13, 1976, General Murtala Muhammed was assassinated. General Murtala Ramat Muhammed's colorful and somewhat controversial life thus came to a tragic end at the tender age of 37 years, 3 months, and 5 days, when on Friday, February 13, 1976, a group of soldiers would-be assassins led by Lieutenant-Colonel Buka S. Dimka rushed over to his car and sporadically sprayed a plethora of gunshots which killed him, his ADC, Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa and his driver, Sergeant Adamu Minchika. Murtala Muhammed remains the youngest Nigerian Head-of-State to die in office, and the only one to die before the age of 40. Many monuments in the country are dedicated to his memory, the chief of which is the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. His portrait also adorns the 20 naira note. The only naira note to feature a military man. #HistoryVille #MurtalaMuhammed You can also check out 50 interesting facts about Murtala Muhammed on our website: https://www.thehistoryville.com/murta...
