An account of the 1976 coup from Radio House angle

She’d phoned the previous day asking that I be a guest newsreader on her squeaky new station, Radio Now 95.3FM, Lagos, at 1.00pm. Despite the very short notice but largely on account of my deference to Femi Odugbemi who put her on to me, I dressed up, showed up and took the short news bulletin.
