How Buhari was overthrown as Head of State, Aug. 27, 1985

How Buhari was Overthrown by Babangida in Aug. 27, 1985 in what is considered Nigeria's Best and most brilliant Coup. Today, we will take it a step further and discuss how the palace coup was executed in a systematically brilliant manner. We will also contradict the claim that the coup was bloodless. In the hours leading up to H-hour, key officers gathered in the Armoured HQ Battalion Officers Mess. To foster bonding, drinks and food were freely offered.
The main hall of the Bonny Camp Visiting Officers guesthouse on Victoria Island in Lagos served as the Coordinating Center (or War Room) for coup actions on D-Day.
The 6th Guards battalion (backed by a Recce troop) was placed on standby at the Camp to provide security for the coup planners.
