LegendHero: Calabar could not have been a federal prison, it was not in the federal capital territory. Is it really practical that Gowon, who was barely a week in power, unrecognised by Ojukwu and the Eastern Region, ordered the release of Awolowo from an area he had absolutely no control over? That would not have been possible. Besides, Awolowo wasnt the only person Ojukwu released around that time. Ojukwu released Victor Banjo, Nzeogwu and many of those involved in the first coup. Let us not forget that Awolowo was a man convicted of treason during civilian rule. The fact he was released before his time by anyone, military or otherwise, is something to be greatful for. They could have easily left him to rot in jail 2 Likes |

APCNig: Are you okay?? Awolowo was arrested, prosecuted and jailed by Yari.ba peeps. Akintola and Rosiji orchestrated the arrest of Awo. Awo was prosecuted by Attorney-General of the Nigeria, in this case, T. O. Ellias who was a Yari.ba. The prosecutor's eye-witnesses were Yari.ba which included Dr. Akinola Maja. The Chief Justice of the federation was a Yari.ba, Adetokunbo Ademola, who appointed the Judge who sentenced Awo to jail with hard labor. The judge who presided over the case was Justice Sowemimo who was a Yari.ba. Even the arresting police officers in this case were Yari.ba. Awo hinted during the trial that one of the reasons he was being prosecuted related to the political alliance between Action Group and NCNC. Please point out one Igbo person who was involved with the prosecution of tribal juggernaut named Awolowo. 3 Likes |

kingzizzy: The bolded showed you don’t know what you are saying and conversing with you will be a total waste of time. So because Calabar was not the FCT meant that a federal prison cannot be situated in Calabar? You and your 2by2 reasoning. The rest of your statement are jargons and that have been trashed to the bin multiple times when your fellow Igbos with superior intelligence than you tried to debate it. I have a task for you: —Present two proofs from independent reputable sources that showed Ojukwu released Awolowo from prison. I have asked the Igbo population on Twitter/ Nairaland and yet NO ONE was able to bring forth any proof to support their assertions. Are you guys that shameless to continue to hold on to a lie even when all evidence point to the contrary? NB: You can invite Dedetwo above to help you in your quest for evidence. If I have the means I would have gone on Channels TV and invite the most brilliant professor of history in Igboland to debate with me on the subject. Coz it’s evident those of you on Nairaland and Twitter are just the usual “My father told me”. |

You see why we call yorubas mongols? He showed a gazzette written by gowon's FG adminstration taking accolade for releasing Awolowo. And I ask my people, is Gowon supposed to give the accolade and credit to his enemy Ojukwu who controlled all the prison in the Eastern region after the hausa and the yoruba army officers and prison officers left the East? Foreign and neutral journalists like Federick forsyth, Auberon Waugh who were on ground know it was Ojukwu and the East who released Awo and they are the ones we will listen to, not Gowon and clearly biased federal records. When yoruba go get sense abeg? 1 Like |

some people are using the resources from the south to develop their region and the southerners are here arguing about who released a man that has died over 30years ago. Southerners! We are too divided amongst ourselves and that is what the North is leveraging on. it is high time we set aside our differences and stop arguing about the past. If it is separation or restructuring we want, we can only achieve that by been United. 2 Likes |

LaboPolitics:Please show us the gazzete of Biafra attesting to the release of Awolowo by Ojukwu. I wonder where all the wise men from the east are? you guys on NL are a total disgrace to the cerebral Igbos that we know. Awolowo was released almost a year ( August 1966) before the declaration of biafra (may 1967), so how on Earth will a regional governor release a Federal prisoner charged with treasonable felony against the nation, in a Federal prison under a United Nigeria? Agunyi Ironsi was head of states for months and he and his brother Ojukwu didn't release Awo and you're telling us Ojukwu released Awo after Gowon ascended power right? Ojukwu released Awo and he wasn't rearrested in Lagos but was rather made the "vice president" by Gowon right? You must learn to realize that religiously holding on to the oral history of your illiterate and mischievous forbears without facts will make you look stupid. 2 Likes |

LegendHero: Then that means you dont know how Regionalism worked back in the day. Let us just assume that Calabar prisons was under federal control. Is it really practical that Gowon, who was less than a week in power and not recognized as substantive leader in the Eastern Region, ordered the release of a Federal prisoner held in the East without the approval of the Regional Governor everyone took orders from? Not even Ironsi, who was recognised in the East could have released Awolowo without ordering Ojukwu to do so, let alone Gowon who was a nobody in the East. 1 Like |

One thing the Yorubas will come to live with is, Igbos will chase them out of Lagos. It may not take up to 50 years. Since you gloat over others pains, let’s see who laughs last. |

kingzizzy:Like I told you, we have debated and trashed this and even the Igbos that are far superior to you in Intelligence couldn’t see a draw in the face of evidence. All they keep saying is speculation and one would be amazed how a population of nearly 40million + Igbos can’t provide two sources of evidence to support their assertions. At least Ojukwu ordering the release of Awolowo will be a breaking news and both foreign and local press will be doing photo Ops and writing about it. At least Ojukwu would have documented it somewhere and take photos to show the world what he did. Can you provide those images or any documents in its true form that showed Ojukwu released him? If you can’t provide evidence, please desist from quoting me coz I ain’t gonna respond no more. Check the thread below to see more other evidence that we Yorubas provided to back our argument. https://www.nairaland.com/5541011/youtube-video-showed-gowon-released https://www.nairaland.com/5553170/re-more-absolutely-convincing-evidence |

LegendHero: The YouTube video is complete nonsense because it shows Gowon releasing Awolowo in Lagos when everyone knows that Awolowo was Calabar prison. Ojukwu releasing Awolowo clearly hijacked by the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media to give Gowon credit he did not deserve What I want someone to tell me is how Gowon, who was less than a week in power, managed to release Awolowo from a Region he had no control? Even Ironsi, who was recognised as substantive leader by the Eastern Region, could not have released Awolowo without ordering Ojukwu to to so So how did Gowon release Awolowo when neither Ojukwu nor the Eastern Region recognised Gowon as substantive leader? Anybody can write anything, anyone can claim anything or parade any useles video. But what people cannot do is run away from hard facts. 2 Likes |

marriagebyigbo: Thank you for this bro. Below is where Gabriel Ohwo (an Urhobo man), Superintendent in charge of Calabar Prison at that time, spoke about the release from the extract of the link. When and why did you leave the Calabar Prison? At that time, it was 3rd August, 1966 when Gowon said Awolowo should be freed, but I didn’t allow him to be released on that day. That day, I went to the prison, he had heard in the news that he was to be set free that day. When I got there, I said “Papa, I hope you would not be annoyed if I won’t let you go today.” He said: “no, as a law student, you know that unlawful imprisonment is when you are detained against your wish, but, right now, I have been set free. Nobody is detaining me now against my wish. It is my own wish. So at your pleasure, I can stay here until it pleases you to release me.” And I said, “thank you sir.” Why didn’t you want to release him immediately? Why I didn’t want to release him on that day was because the Calabar people were the ones in charge of Action Group in Eastern Nigeria then; they were the ones fighting for him there because of the imprisonment. And if I should release him that day, they would bombard him and, who knows, some mixed-multitude might find a loophole to kill him. And that was what I was avoiding. I just wanted the atmosphere to settle down first before releasing him. So, I released him when everybody thought he had gone. So, on the 6th of August of that year, three days after the announcement, I drove to the prison as early as 5:00 in the morning, took him in my car and drove to the Calabar airport to drop him. I made sure the small aircraft that came to convey him had taken off before leaving the airport. Everything I did impressed him terribly! There is this narrative that it was the Eastern Nigerian Government under Odimegwu-Ojukwu that released Awolowo? It’s not true. Awo’s imprisonment was not a state issue, so he could not have been released by Ojukwu. It was [General Yakubu] Gowon that released him. It was the Federal Government, which was in charge of the prisons that released him.
