On his way to his office in the morning of February 13, 1976, Nigeria's one-time military Head of State, General Murtala Muhammed (beloved by his countrymen and women as such leaders as President John F. Kennedy of America, Prime Minister Indra Gandhi of India and American human rights icon, Rev. Martin Luther King) with his aide-de-camp, orderly and driver, drive into a hail of assassins' bullets. The Hurricane: Story of an African Coup captures this tragic event, its genesis and aftermath, and tells the intimate story of Murtala's life.
