| Between Nigeria And Biafra, Which Will Claim The Mid-western Region? by SonyObsessed(op): 1:39pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
The Mid-Western region of Nigeria, is the present day Edo State. In the lead-up to the Civil War, Mid-Western (Edo state) attempted to take a neutral position and stay on their own; shortly before Biafra announced its secession from Nigeria. Mid-Western leaders sponsored a peace conference near Benin City, and state officials refused to permit federal troops to invade Biafra through Mid-Western. The state (Edo state) was declared on 20 September 1967 as the Republic of Benin (Not to be confused with the current Republic of Benin, which in 1967 was called Republic of Dahomey), even as Federal Nigeria was completing its reconquest of the region and Biafra. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Benin_(1967)
