Dimka Coup:I Saw Gen IBB Talking To Dimka, I Was Lucky Dimka Who Had A Gun Wasn’t Facing Me—Mgbatogu

Ron Mgbatogu, a veteran broadcaster and voice actor, has stated that on February 13, 1976, he went into the Radio Nigeria building and saw General Ibrahim Babangida speaking with Col. Bukar Dimka there after the assassination of Murtala Mohammed

In an exclusive interview with The Podcast Network, Mgbatogu said Babangida saw him and asked him to leave the area immediately, which he did

Mgbatogu said if Dimka who was armed had seen him before Babangida did, Dimka might have shot him. He added that he did not hear what Babangida and Dimka were discussing before he left the scene.

In Mgbatogu’s words: “I saw General Babangida speaking with Dimka. I was lucky that Dimka who had a gun with him was backing me, it was Babangida who saw me. It would have been terrible if it was the other way round and Dimka saw me, and panicked and panicked and shot me. But it was Babangida who saw me and said ‘Go back'”
