Igbo Commited Genocide On Midwesterners In 1967 - US State Dept Report by spearman(m): 12:12pm On May 23, 2022 |
The cold-blooded massacres in Midwest were not monopolised by the federal troops only. In a US confidential report of 15 October 1967 recorded that, “as the Biafrans retreated from Benin to Agbor, they killed all the men, women and children they could find who were not Igbos. The town of Abudu, one of the larger places between Agbor and Benin lost virtually of its population with the exception of a small proportion that fled into the bush.” The British expatriate teacher, Anthony Charles Stephens was killed there when he refused to surrender his car to the retreating Biafran forces. Father Coleman an Irish SSMA priest said before Biafran troops left Agbor “without a fight” they killed off most of “non-Ibo men, women and children.” https://therepublicannews.net/2017/05/09/u-s-classified-files-reveal-untold-story-of-ojukwu-biafra-by-americans-others/ 4 Likes 2 Shares

These afonjas propagandists will never leave Igbos alone, like non stop. They are yet to finish the propaganda of ESN killing Igbos in SE, they have concocted another rubbish, all to tarnish and create Igbo hate. They do this whenever election is around the corner, to make other tribes not to vote for Igbo candidates, to instill fear in them based on the propaganda that Igbos will massacre them. They are doing this to stop Peter Obi. Other tribes, use your sense oh, think like human being oh. Who is killing Nigerians everywhere? Fulani herdsmen and bandits, not Igbos oh. Who is cutting human heads and committing rituals? Nah Yorubaas oh, no be Igbos. Igbos are not doing you anything, just doing their business. They/DSS are killing Igbos in SE all to make them look bad in the eyes of other tribes so that they will not vote for them. They are trying to sell the propaganda " see how they are killing themselves in SE, that's how they will kill other tribes too if they come to power." Other tribes, use your brain, they have been doing this for over 70yrs, suffering everybody because they know Igbos can change this country for the good of everyone. 2 Likes 2 Shares

The Biafran Army Slaughtered all the Hausas they could Lay their hands on in the Midwest and it didn’t end there During the Biafran Soldiers withdrawal from Ore every non Igbo along their route between Ore in the Western Region and Agbor was shot dead, a distance of more than 200 km. Those that were inside Cars had the Cars taken over by Biafran Soldiers who didn’t have enough Vehicles to transport them back to the East. Both sides of the road were full of dead bodies, When the Biafran Army reached Agbor there was another Massacre every non Igbo they could find in Agbor Town was killed. Gen Gowon prevented the full details from being published in the interest of reconciliation and One Nigeria Obi Ebbi who was a Biafran Soldier confessed in his book “ Broken back axle , unspeakable events in Biafra “ that they killed all the non Igbos along the Biafran Army’s withdrawals route it in order to prevent information on their Biafran Army’s Movement from being passed to the Federal Soldiers who were in Pursuit behind them There is a Photograph of the road with dead bodies on both Sides of it for as far as the eye can see , I think it Was Peter Obe a Newspaper Photographer that took it. The report of the Justice Omo Eboh Panels investigation into the atrocities committed during the Biafrans Army’s Invasion of the MidWest was said to have filled more that twenty boxes. Gowon prevented its Publication for the sake of Reconciliation The Non Igbos of the East even Claim they were Victims of Ethnic Cleansing by the Biafran Soldiers Read the article below https://doi.org/10.1093/oxfordjournals.afraf.a097919 http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/articles-opinions/the-unknown-victims-ethnic-minorities-1967-1970/ https://m.facebook.com/naijainfoman/posts/1139807712715827 12 Likes 1 Share |

This massacre nobody heard about except America? If there had been a massacre in Agbor by Biafrans, surely Agbor people would be talking about it today same way Asaba people still talk about the Asaba massacre The only documented massacre that occured in the Midwest was that of Murtala Mohammed and his second division in Asaba 5 Likes 1 Share |
