Professor Idowu Sobowale, a veteran journalist, has
narrated his experience as a reporter while covering the
events of the civil war.
Sobowale, who is a now a Journalism professor in
Covenant University, revealed that he alongside other
journalists were fed with human meat as suya during the
war.
He also called on people singing war songs to rethink,
adding that war is not something to play with.
The former political adviser to former Lagos state
governor, Lateef Jakande, disclosed this during an
interactive session with Punch, said the capital of
Anambra State, Awka, was levelled to the ground with no
single building standing.
“If you hear people singing war songs, they are most
probably people who have never experienced war. Even if
you escape, seeing the sufferings of others can be
terrifying.
“There was a day when we got to the third marine
command and the commander, Benjamin Adekunle,
asked if we (journalists) liked Suya, he said we should
get into the vehicle and he took us to where Biafra
armoured cars had been disabled, with soldiers killed
inside them. The place was terribly stinking.
“He said that was the Suya, we should eat. There was
also a day we were taken to a small stream that
separated the federal troops from the Biafra troops and
those people had sharp shooters. The war was so fierce
that when we were about to leave, out of the battalion
that went, fewer than 20 people came back alive.
“Many had died, many had been so terribly wounded and
they were just packed in lorries that brought them to
Calabar for treatment. On many occasions, we would be
eating and we would just hear gunshot and the soldier or
someone else beside you would have been killed.
“That happened several times when we were eating. I
had several instances of close shave with death. Let me
not say more than that.
One crazy soldier was just coming from behind and he
just took a cutlass and split the person’s head into two
just like that.
“It was not a pleasant thing to watch or wish for
anybody. Look at Awka, the capital of Anambra State, it
was levelled to the ground. Not a single house was
standing; not one.”

Actually, I dare him.
