Humphrey Chukwuka was a Nigerian soldier. A major for that matter. He and his ilk betrayed the future of Nigeria that started an avalanche of coups. This article described one of the gruesome myers they committed during the coup. This coup is a direct cause of the civil war and also a lot of tribal distrust today. The descendants of Humphrey Chukwuka and his colleagues insist they were the victims of all those happenings today.

And you decided to use Chukwuemeka just to shield these people.

Blames must always be on the igbos, why?, Although that's nature of sinful man.

It is because the coup was an Ibo coup

Ibos killed leaders in every region except their own.

Really!!

I don’t recall any Ibibio leader killed in the coup so it’s also safe to say it was them that instigated it?

What of tiv leaders? Was anyone of them killed? What of Urhobo or itsekiri leaders? Were any of them killed? Why don’t we call it a Niger Delta coup?

You all that paint that coup as an Igbo one are all hiding from the truth that the main cause of the civil war wasn’t the coup itself but the chaos and fallout from the obviously controversial election which was marred by widespread riots and killings in the then western region. During that fallout from the election the westerners were killing them selves and others anyhow due to political party affiliation or sheer wickedness. That time you’d be walking or driving down the roads and be seeing dead bodies and headless corpses in the streets of most western states. It wasn’t so bloody in main Lagos but a drive after the then state boundary at ajegunle would welcome you to the carnage going on because of that election then.

A few weeks after that election the civil war started and because of any coup. After all there were other coups after that but no resultant wars so ask yourself why was that.

It’s not today that Yoruba people started liking skulls, if you see the way they were killing them selves and decapitating heads that time you’d know. Now they’re rewriting history and telling people that igbos caused the war with their coup lol

Simple. How does that even make sense? Yorubas we're having crisis. Then you start killing all the leaders in the country except yours to grab power.
