Abstract:The author, at the time leader of the opposition in the Federal Parliament of Nigeria, was arrested in November 1962 on a charge of treasonable felony, conspiracy to commit a felony, and conspiracy to effect an unlawful purpose. The book provides a comprehensive account of Nigeria's longest-running political trial in which the author was the central figure of the 31 accused persons, and deals with the events from November 1962 until his release in August 1966 and his acceptance, in May 1967, of an offer to join the Federal Executive Council under Yakubu Gowon.
