Victor Banjo and his family, 1962.
Lieutenant-Colonel Victor Adebukunola Banjo, the first Nigerian Director of the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Corps of the Nigerian Army, joined the Army in 1953 as Warrant Officer 52 and was the 16th Nigerian to be commissioned an officer.
Banjo was killed by a firing squad of Biafran soldiers acting on Biafra's Head-of-State Chukwuemeka Ojukwu's orders on September 22, 1967. He was alleged to have staged a coup plot against Ojukwu. It took a second military trib.unal judge to sentence Banjo, because Ojukwu's first military judge stated that there were not enough evidence to convict Victor Banjo of coup charges.
As he was being hit, Banjo yelled and screamed "I'm not dead yet!" with four more shots fired to ensure his death.
He left behind his Sierra Leonean wife, Taiwo and four children. He was 37.
His sister, 91-year-old Felicia Adetowun Ogunsheye is Nigeria's first female professor and consequently the first female professor of Library and Information Science in Nigeria. #History_Ville

I am interested in Nigerian political history. It will tell you where we are coming from It is this history that the keeps hunting the IGBOS till tomorrow and that is why they cannot be Nigerian president untill the Hausas find them trustworthy. As for Victor Banjo ,it is quite unfortunate that those he trusted killed him .

Banjo died a senseless man, he wouldnt have notice how Fajuyi died cos of Coup plotter Agunyin Ironsi..

People supporting liar Obi now r just like General Banjo and Fajuyi, they all died folishly, dieing in another man war..even the Coward Ojukwu that started the war later Japa..

If not General Effiong, no single person will remain in east...

Gowon declare no vanquish no conquer

I was very happy when my grand mother told me about how Abiola and Babangida was fvcking Ojukwu wife back to back...

The most painful part was when both of them knack her together in 1991 at a conference held in lagos.

It was abiola that invited her over but unfortunately IBB saw her along the corridor of the hotel where Abiola lodged her, this was how....


The matter long... I no wan talk too much

ZIK was jealous of SW progress,he neglected his backward region in ENUGU to contest for SW regional leader in IBADAN,no be stupidity be that?
ZIK and AWO had issue for trying to install Kenneth dike in Old Premier university Ibadan(UI) not until his ass was kicked back to the east.
No be stupid jealousy be that?
