The Foiled 1968 Terrorist Attack On The University Of Ibadan by KwaraRat: 1:38pm On Sep 26
The terrorist was an Ibo man who worked with the American Tobacco Company.

He was caught within the university premises with a truck load of explosives.

When interrogated on what he intended to do with the explosives , the terrorist said he wanted to blow up the school .

Asked why , he said it was over Biafra and the fact that the Ibo VC of the institution and alongside other Ibo lecturers and staff had been forced to return to Ibo land.

It's important to note that the Ibo VC was not sacked nor chased out but he had mobilised all Ibo staff of the university to see to moving to Biafra and to achieve this the VC had paid all Ibo staff 3 months salary in advance.

It's also important to note that there was no hostility between the Yorubas and the Ibos in the western region. Yorubas not only shielded Ibos from attacks from resident Hausa people but even staged a massive protest over the activities of a notorious Hausa regiment that was going about harrasing and beating Ibos in public.

But the Ibo terrorist decided to repay the Yoruba people by attempting to bomb the University of Ibadan.

After this incidence came to light coupled with the biafran bombing missions in Lagos, Yoruba perception towards the Ibos changed 180.

professor Akintoye said that fulani herdsmen has killed almost tems thousands of people in Yorubaland.

You can see that it is war of aggression that has been unleashed on you people.

Has your perception change about them or are you guys still in love with your slave masters ?
