Iké Dubaku

Colonel Iké Dubaku was the second-in-command of rebel general Benjamin Juma, and led much of his military forces in Sangala.

Redemption

From Sangala, Dubaku spoke with Jonas Hodges over the phone, and they discussed the weapons and resources which been supplied Hodges. Hodges offered direct military assistance to Juma's forces, but Dubaku declined, insisting that his people could fight their own war.

He tasked his brother with collecting children to use as soldiers in the impending coup. Initially turning out disappointing results, his brother made the decision to attack a school run by Carl Benton to bolster numbers.

Dubaku later on learned that the attack had failed, and his brother was killed (Jack Bauer had snapped his neck). He swore vengeance for his brother's death. Juma, having recently arrived at the encampment, spoke against the action, as his role in the following days was far too important. With Bauer heading towards the evacuation point at the capital, he insisted his only chance for revenge was quickly slipping away and left.

He took a chopper to the outskirts of the city, where he discovered the group fleeing into the nearby woods. Along with a pair of guards he gave chase, discovering a lone Benton who quickly surrendered. He demanded to know the whereabouts of the children and the other man, and when Benton refused to speak, Dubaku shot him twice without result.

Unknown to Dubaku, Benton had stepped on a land mine and began to intentionally lure them by speaking incoherently. Dubaku finally ordered a guard to take him into custody, but Benton simply cursed him and stepped off the mine, detonating it close to Dubaku and killing himself in the process. Though his men were dismembered and killed in the explosion, Dubaku survived and awoke shortly after the blast.

Day 7

Dubaku secretly entered the United States to oversee the attack on the CIP firewall, which would potentially cause major losses of life and force the newly-elected President Allison Taylor to cancel the planned intervention in Sangala.

At 9:34am, David Emerson delivered Michael Latham and the CIP module to Dubaku and Nichols at an unknown location. Dubaku remarked that the United States was about to pay a high price for interfering in Sangalan affairs.

When the deadline for Dubaku's demands had failed to be met, he ordered his technician to direct two 747 jets to collide in mid-air, and called the White House. The crash occurred to the southwest of the Oval Office, for all of Washington to see. But this terrorist attack had the opposite effect, as it reinforced President Taylor's commitment of not surrendering to him.

At 1:59pm, he revealed his belief that President Taylor was not just stubborn, but insane. He ordered his men to prepare for an attack on an chemical plant in Kettering, Ohio in retaliation.

Background information and notes
