HOW GENERAL IBB KILLED HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND, MAMMAN VATSA FOR AN ALLEGED COUP The execution of Major General Mamman Vatsa and others involved in the alleged 1985 coup attempt is one of the most controversial and emotionally charged events in Nigeria’s military and political history. Here's a detailed narration: On December 31, 1983, Major General Muhammadu Buhari overthrew the civilian government of President Shehu Shagari. However, on August 27, 1985, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) ousted Buhari in a palace coup and assumed power. Mamman Vatsa, a poet, writer, and senior army officer, was a childhood friend of IBB. They attended Government College Bida and joined the Nigerian Army together in 1962. Vatsa was also a member of the Supreme Military Council and served as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under Buhari. The Alleged Coup Plot in December 1985, just a few months after Babangida became Head of State, military intelligence claimed to have uncovered a coup plot involving Vatsa and other senior officers. The coup was reportedly set to take place in December 1985, but the plot was said to have been foiled before it could be executed. Vatsa and others were arrested between December 17 and 23, 1985. After a secret military tribunal, chaired by Major General Charles Ndiomu, 17 officers were tried. Ten of them were sentenced to death and executed: 1. Major General Mamman Jiya Vatsa – Poet and former Minister of the FCT 2. Lieutenant Colonel Musa Bitiyong 3. Lieutenant Colonel Christian Oche 4. Lieutenant Colonel M.S. Bello 5. Lieutenant Colonel A.A. Aliyu 6. Major Daniel Bamidele 7. Major M. O. A. Akwashiki 8. Major John Bulus 9. Major Lawan Gwadabe (initially sentenced to death but later commuted) 10. Captain G. I. Bakut NB: Some of the names on the death list were later commuted, while others were executed. The executions took place by firing squad on March 5, 1986 at Kirikiri Prison in Lagos and other undisclosed locations. Despite appeals from prominent Nigerians and international communities, General Babangida upheld the verdicts. The trial and executions were shrouded in secrecy. Critics argued that the evidence presented was circumstantial and that the trial was rushed, with no option for appeal. Vatsa, especially, was seen as a victim of political paranoia, given his closeness to IBB. Many Nigerians believe that the coup may have been fabricated or exaggerated to eliminate perceived threats to Babangida’s rule. Some of the accused, like Major Daniel Bamidele, had earlier reported rumors of coup plans, only to be accused themselves. The killing of Mamman Vatsa remains a dark spot on Babangida’s legacy. Vatsa was not just a soldier; he was a celebrated literary figure and a man of intellect. His poetry and writings gained more attention after his death.
