During his brief stint as Nigeria’s leader, he acquired a reputation as a leader who traveled about without the fanfare typically associated with leaders in Nigeria. He hardly traveled in a convoy of attached vehicles. He was not known to blare sirens whenever he traveled in his car. He often travels incognito.

On February 13, 1976, while on his way to his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, a group of soldiers ambushed his car.

Murtala Muhammed, aged 37, was shot and killed, along with his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa, in his black Mercedes Benz saloon in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka,


Reason he was killed anyhow...This country is too complicated for any leader to be traveling without an extremely tight security.

As for the car, it is well maintained because it attracts tourists

This Autojosh sef?

So you want to rub it in that a car gets better maintenance than the country?

Murtala was 37 and President?I am still blaming myself for supporting Buhari.
Bro I will never support any old politician no matter what. It's time the youth of this country take control of all the major political offices. Gowon was younger than Murtala's age when he became president. What is wrong with our generation sef.

Ni siren and escort cars yet he attracted attention based on 2 very obvious flags. If he travelled without attracting attention to himself it will have been difficult to single the car out from other mercedes benz cars of those days.

I saw this car last in 1987 with the bullet holes intact...why cover them ?
I saw it too at the National museum onikan in the late 90s.If they had not covered the bullet holes it would not ha e lasted till now;rust would have easily spread.

Sorry if my question seems offpoint here but a was told by a friend from Jos while serving in the NYSC that after Mr. Murtala was shot and killed by Dimpka and his men, Dimpka severed his head as a kind of trophy which is a kind of war tradition from were Dimpka is from in Jos. A dead man is a dead man with all due respect but does this mean Mr. Murtala was buried with his head? Pls historians in the house how true is this.

Nigeria was one country then. Imagine, fulani man with yoruba ADC. That cant happen again. Each president picks his village man as ADC.
autojosh:
Murtala Mohammed was Nigeria’s former military head of state. He became president on July 30, 1975.

During his brief stint as Nigeria’s leader, he acquired a reputation as a leader who traveled about without the fanfare typically associated with leaders in Nigeria. He hardly traveled in a convoy of attached vehicles. He was not known to blare sirens whenever he traveled in his car. He often travels incognito.

On February 13, 1976, while on his way to his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, a group of soldiers ambushed his car.

Murtala Muhammed, aged 37, was shot and killed, along with his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Lieutenant Akintunde Akinsehinwa, in his black Mercedes Benz saloon in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka,

The black Mercedes Benz saloon is kept at the National Museum, Lagos. The well-maintained car still has over 20 bullet holes on its.

The assassinated President's car attracts 2000 tourists monthly.

The car is perhaps the most well-maintained car in Nigeria today.

What do you think?

He was killed by soldiers led by a traitor. They knew his movements so no amount of incognito would have saved him.
