It's just like giving a dog a bad name just to hang it, Victor banjo wasn't killed cos of this bit for the fact he refused to advance to Yoruba land as dictated by ojukwu.

U have even forgotten that few months ago ojukwu letter to Victor banjo surface online where ojukwu told Victor banjo that his assignment is to capture Yoruba land and he ojukwu will appoint military administrators that will oversee things till they will figure out where Victor will b fixed.

That letter made Victor banjo regained his sense and he was killed

gidgiddy:
Then that means you did not read the letter well. What Ojukwu saud was that if Banjo was successful, Banjo would be appointed Military Governor of the Western Region. It should be noted that Yoruba land was already captured, and was in control of the Northerners

Banjo was executed for a completely different reason. If Ojukwu wanted to judt kill Banjo, he wouldn't do it with 3 other highly placed Igbo officers, he wouldn't even try Banjo

You are this empty and ignorant of the topic, yet you always want to jump out of your skin from thread to thread trying to pontificate on issues way above your paygrade?

Your elders said they can't declare any Oduah state during the war because northern soldiers like Murtala, Danjuma and co were all in control of Lagos and environs.

That was also the reason they gave for joining the Nigerian army to go on a genocidal expedition in the east. .. I bet that doesn't make any sense to you, right?
It never made sense to any reasonable person all through..

Why will you be given a link...

Do you get links when you push propaganda that are obviously lies?

Go sleep

Go sleep..

You are agitated because of BIAFRA?

Your begging for UNITY is disgusting.

Factcheck0001:

Was Adekunle already in The COR region before Biafra started "advancing towards Ore"? If he was already there with his men, how can you say that it was the advancement of Biafra towards Ore that forced your peoples hands to join the war..., since your brothers were already kneck deep in Biafra, pillaging and raping?
Maybe Adekunle was from Chad, right?

When people talk about Victor Banjo, all they seem to talk about is that Ojukwu executed him. Most of them dont even know why Victor Banjo was executed. They dont even know that Victor Banjo stood trial, was convicted and sentenced to death, which led to his execution.

Brigadier Victor Banjo was arrested in September 1967 along with three other Igbo military officers, Colonel Ifeajuna, Major Agbam and Major Alale. They were charged to military tribunals with:

First Count: Subversion, contrary to Section 13 (a) of the Law and Order (Maintenance) Edict, 1967,
Particulars of Offence: "That you, Victor Banjo, Philip Alale, Emmanuel Ifeajuna and Sam Agbam, in the month of September, 1967, at Enugu, in the Republic of Biafra, (the said Republic being a disturbed area by virtue of the Order of the Military Governor made on 3rd June 1967 without lawful authority made preparations for carrying out an armed disturbance against the Military Governor and some officers of the Republic of Biafra

Second Count:

Act intended to cause a breach of public order contrary to Section 6 (e) of the Law and Order (Maintenance) Decree, 1967, otherwise known as the Law and Order (Maintenance) Edict, 1967,
Particulars of Offence: "That you, Victor Banjo, Philip Alale, Emmanuel Ifeajuna and Sam Agbam, in the month of September, 1967, at Enugu, in the Republic of Biafra (which is a disturbed area) with intent to cause a breach of public order, agreed to procure the downfall of the Government of said Republic by violent and unlawful seizure of the Military Governor and Head of State of the Republic of aforesaid, and Commander-in-Chief of its Armed Forces, and other military officers"

To understand what happened, you have to read from page 27 to 40 of a book called "Nowhere To Hide: Crises and conflicts inside Biafra", by Benard Odogwu, an intelligence officer in Biafra. Transcripts of Banjo's trial are also in the book.

Basically, what happened was that Victor Banjo, who was a Brigadier in the Biafran Army, and led the Midwest oprations, had returned to Enugu and hatched a plot with Ifeajuna, Alale and Agbam, to topple Ojukwu. They contacted Benard Odogwu and some others and told them that they were in contact with the government of Gowon, and could bring the war to an end. All they had to do was storm the Biafran government house with their troops, arrest Ojukwu, and Gowon would agree to a ceasefire and negotiations. But Ojukwu had to be taken out first. Benard Odogwu played along. In a second meeting with the 4 men, Benard Ojukwu hid a recording device in his briefcase, recorded the men putting final touches to their plan to take out Ojukwu. Benard took the recording straight to Ojukwu, who ordered the arrest of all 4 men.

They denied everything, but when the recording was played at the tribunal, they had no defence. All 4 men were found guilty, sentenced to death, and executed

Adekunle the Scorpion was already in the military like them obj n co before the war so it's normal for them to fight the war as individuals in the army, yorubas joined the war officially when u Ibos advanced towards oore n u were highly repelled.

Adekunle was a single individual on his one mission.

Yoruba race woke up to your encroachment when u do pass yourself

I told you that you are empty.
You know nothing about the topic. Just huff and puff to earn your daily bread using the leftovers of Amaechis laptops.

Biafra was attacked from all angles. From the North, West and South. In all those fronts, Yoruba officers cheered on by Yoruba leaders and the Yoruba public, were in full action using supplies from Britain to commit genocide against "fellow blacks".

Almost all the air sorties that were flown into Biafra to bomb hospitals, markets, churches and schools, originated from Lagos. All weapons from Britain docked at Lagos portd with ZERO opposition from.any branch of the Yoruba communities.

Infact, go and read Wole Soyinkas "The man Died". Briefly, he discussed all he heard about endless disgusting meetings between Northern and South Western leaders to use the war to do all they did in Biafra..

Una problem be say una dey think say una fit openly rewrite history as you did with your newspapers before the coming of the internet.
We don't have to drag any points here. The facts are well documented by even foreigners. Just read up..

Even a fool- knows that 90% of those accounts belong to Yoruba people.

That levels is now known to everybody..but as foolish as you guys are always, you continue with the same thing believing it will stick.

NEWS FLASH..sit at home is still observed and its not because of SOLUDO..OR UZODINMA..OR UMAHI ...your lackeys.

People are disgusted.just forget IGBOs love for NIGERIA. It will NEVER happen

Banjo was killed because he was against an Ibo man heading the ‘liberated’ mid west plus his refusal to march through Yorubaland with the beerfrauvd army .
It has nothing to do with the trumped up charges the i.p.o.b.i.d.i.e.n.t op has posted .

Interestingly, Banjo led the only successful Biafran offensive during the war.
He was eventually betrayed by Ojukwu and murdered . This should serve as a lesson to the numerous Banjos that currently litter the landscape of Yorubaland politics
