A brief description of the book:

The Story of Victor Banjo is a tragic account of a Nigerian military officer who was caught in the crisis that engulfed Nigeria following the first military coup in the country of January 15th, 1966.

Victor Banjo would eventually find himself in Eastern Nigeria during the Biafran War. He sought to bring a quick end to the war and to reduce loss of lives to a minimal number. In the process his life was cut short.

On the 24th of September, 2017, it would have been 50 years since Banjo died. This book seeks to tell the story of the final twenty months of the life of this Nigerian military officer and to recall the ideals he lived for.

In a series of videos made in a media campaign in September 2017, third child of Lt. Col. Victor Banjo, Prof. Olayinka Omigbodun reads her father's letters written to their mother while he was imprisoned in the far East following the January 1966 coup.

The letters are published in "The Gift of Sequins: Letters to my Wife", authored by Victor Banjo and Olayinka Omigbodun.

In this video, Banjo writes to his wife, Taiwo:
