Dear readers,
We thank you for your avowed fascination with our excerpts culled from the book “Why We Struck ” by Major Adewale Ademoyega and published by Ibadan based Evans Brothers to mark the 60th anniversary of the first military coup.
In a country polarized by ethnicity and religion, given the war that ensued from the 1966 failed coup, it became necessary if not poignant to douse an already escalated nation and bring peace to a beautiful country.
We have tried to portray to our readers, especially the younger generation, the truth as stated by a partaker in the events leading up to the civil war.
For complete and enriched information about the event of January 15th, 1966, you may wish to procure a copy of the historical work published in 1981 and subsequently reprinted several times.
Expectedly, the book can be purchased at any reputable book shop or through the publishers who can be reached thus:
Evans Brothers (Nigeria Publishers) Limited
Jericho Road.

Yours in National Service
Chuddy Oduenyi
Editor-in-Chief
