According to a report by US Ambassador Elbert Matthews,
cabled to Washington on 3 July 1967, unidentified men tried
to bomb the police headquarters in Lagos on the night of 2
July. They attempted to drive an automobile into the
compound, but the guards did not open the gate. They
packed the car across the street near a small house
opposite a petrol station. Leaving the car, the men fled and
within seconds, an explosion took place. The house was
demolished and all its occupants killed, but the petrol
station was unaffected. Eleven people, including some of
the guards at the police headquarters, were injured.
Two hours later, a second explosion, from explosives in a
car parked by a petrol station, rocked Yaba. This time, the
station caught fire. The ambassador remarked: “It is
possible this is a start of campaign of terrorism…public
reactions could further jeopardize safety of Ibos in Lagos.”
And sure it did.
A Lagos resident, who visited the police headquarters after
the attack, told the Australian ambassador “Ibos must be
killed.”
There was panic all over Lagos. Anti-Igbo riots broke out.
Northern soldiers at the 2nd Battalion Barracks in Ikeja
used the opportunity to launch a mini-version of the
previous year’s torture and massacre of the Igbo in the
North. On 7 July 1967, Lagos State governor, Lieutenant
Colonel Mobolaji Johnson, condemned the bombing in a
radio broadcast. “A good number of Igbos in Lagos is
innocent and loyal to the federal government. It is only fair
that they be allowed to go about their business unmolested
so long as they abide by the law and are not agents and
evildoers,” Johnson said.
He called for Lagosians to join civil defence units and for
Easterners to come and register with the police. |
Meanwhile, buoyed by the confidence from early success,
the Biafrans went on the offensive. Their B26 (one of the six
originally intended for use against the Nigerian Navy) was
fitted with multiple canon and 50mm calibre machine gun
mounts. It conducted bombing raids on Makurdi airfield,
Kano and Kaduna. Luckily for Nigeria, the two transport
DC3s had gone to Lagos to get more reserve mortar and
106-artillery ammo. In Kano, there were no fatalities, only a
slight damage to the wing of a commercial plane.
Kaduna, however, was not that lucky. On 10 August 1967,
the B26 dropped bombs on Kaduna airbase, damaging
many buildings and the main hangar. The German consulate
in Kaduna confirmed that a German citizen, a Dornier
technician tasked with maintaining Nigerian military planes,
was killed and two others injured.
A week later, the senior traffic control officer, A.O. Amaku,
was arrested for sabotage. He was accused of failing to
shut off the airport’s homing device, thus giving the Biafran
plane navigational assistance. His British assistant, Mr.
Palfrey, was similarly suspected. He resigned and
immediately returned to the UK. However, Major Obada, the
airbase commanding officer and an Urhobo from the
Midwest, strongly defended the accused.
The daring bomb raid provoked many more Northern
civilians to run to the nearest army base and enlist to fight. |

Just hours after a family had purchased a house, this
photo was taken in the basement. The big deal is, none of
the family members knew who the young kid in the photo
was.

Despite the fact that the woman on the right has what
appears to be a ghostly hand around her arm, she claims
that she didn’t see anything or feel any strange presence
when this photo was taken.
