Show notes

Nigeria’s history is filled with coups. Some were bloody, some were quiet, some never even happened but shook the nation all the same. From the first coup in 1966 to the shadowy plots under Abacha, and even rumours in the 2000s, this is the full story of every coup Nigeria has survived. Seven successful coups. Several failed attempts. Countless rumours. Who were the heroes? Who were the villains? You decide. #TrueCrimeWithReni #TrueHeroesWithReni
