1. Page 457 Beckoned to serve by President Shehu Shagari “ In Nov 1983, I visited Jos to attend d passing out ceremonies of NIPSS at Kuru. Lar told Shagari that he received security information that there would be a coup Shagari asked Lar to discuss issue with PMB @besimpleneyo
2. Lar asked Shagari to inform PMB on his own that he will discuss an issue with him. When Lar informed PMB , PMB quickly called NSO Shinkafi & requested that they should meet in Kaduna urgently
3. When PMB met Shinkafi, Buhari then decided to RESIGN his commission that d C in C regarded him as a SUSPECT. That he swore that he does not know anything about the COUP at all .
4. Shagari was briefed and he got assurance from Buhari that as far as he knows , he is not aware of any coup at all.
5. I have to remind guys that Colonel Ogbeha player and an active role in removing President Shagari as he was monitoring d movement of Shagari from Lagos to Abuja
Played not player pls
6. Meetings were held in Rome, London, Egypt & one or two Balkan countries as explained by d then Nigeria Ambassador to Italy, Muhammed Carpenter who came to apologize to Shagari when he was released & not one meeting was attended by Buhari
7. The coup was planned by serving & retired military officers and a well know Nigerian business tycoon. And d coup had a backing of one living former head of state. He knew about it . D 2 guys came from d same state. He was briefed and suggested d name of in coming head of state
8. That President Shagari ordered soldiers to kill Brig. Bako is FALSE. In fact his driver died. Shagari had left for Keffi b4 Bako died. Ogbeha can shed light on how Bako died
9. President Shagari confirmed that Buhari was not involved in the execution of d coup against his govt . I don’t know whether Solomon Lar’s wife is alive. She can also share d privileged information at her disposal
10. The list of 1983 coup planner central committee is still with a Serving Senator from North Central. He knows d truth. Immigration can also produce traveling records of d planners. U can not find Buhari’s name at all. Go buy d book and let me enjoy my coffee pls. Nice evening
11. The person that suggested Buhari’s name as Head of State in 1984 is still ALIVE. Even d dead tycoon agreed that Buhari should head the govt. For d old man & biz tycoon to agree then despite their frosty relationships was shocking to Central Coup Planning Committee then.
