Inside the Orkar Coup: Battle for Ikeja Barracks, Near Capture of the Commander-in-Chief

Jack Adokiye, a direct participant in the Gideon Orkar coup of April 22, 1990, relives the tension, chaos, and near success of one of Nigeria’s most daring military uprisings. He explains how their movement to capture Ikeja Barracks, crucial to securing Lagos and ensuring the coup’s success, ended in failure, unleashing a storm of resistance that turned the tide against them. Adokiye narrates his own dramatic escape from the barracks with another soldier and provides a gripping analysis of how the strike team that stormed Dodan Barracks, the seat of power, came close to capturing the Commander-in-Chief after killing his ADC. The Orkar coup, though unsuccessful, remains etched in Nigeria’s history as a moment when a group of soldiers tried to reset the nation’s direction through force, with redemption as their proclaimed goal.
