The 1976 coup led by Lieutenant Colonel Buka Suka Dimka was against the military regime of Late Murtala Mohammed.
The coup which took place on February 13, 1976, led to the assassination of General Mohammed.
Although the coup was aborted, the plotters were arrested by General Olusegun Obasanjo-led military regime which took over power immediately.
