Buka Suka Dimka, a Lieutenant
Colonel in the Nigerian army, masterminded the abortive military coup of February
13, 1976 against the government of General Murtala Ramat Mohammed. The general
was ambushed and assassinated on his way to work. Lieutenant Colonel Dimka later
fled to eastern Nigeria from the premises of Radio Nigeria (where he had made a
broadcast) after the coup had been crush. He planned a second broadcast that he
never gave (this is presented as well). He was eventually arrested in the
company with a prostitute in Abakaliki (Ebonyi State). He was a lover of booze. Following a court martial,
Lieutenant Colonel Dimka and several military officers and civilians were
executed by firing squad. His speeches are presented below.
