Jonathan Tunde Ogbeha (born 1 September 1947) is a Nigerian politician and retired brigadier general who served as the administrator of Akwa Ibom State and then of Bendel State during the military rule of General Ibrahim Babangida (1985–1993).

Ogbeha was born in Lokoja, Kogi State on 1 September 1947.

1983

As a colonel in December 1983, he was involved in the military coup when President Shehu Shagari was replaced by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari.

Ogbeha approached Captain Augustine A. Anyogo of the Brigade of Guards and told him to arrest the president at midnight.

Anyogo refused and alerted his superior officer, who arranged for increased security around the State House.

However, the coup succeeded despite these measures.

1985

Ogbeha played a prominent role in the subsequent coup of August 1985, when General Ibrahim Babangida ousted Buhari's government.

Brigadier Ibrahim Bako was the other senior army officer and coup conspirator who accompanied Colonel Ogbeha to arrest President Shagari during the coup.
