In this post, I share the powerful final statement of Colonel Victor Banjo, a Yoruba officer in the Biafran army, made just before his execution by firing squad during the Nigerian Civil War.

As the Battle of Ọ̀rẹ (August 1967) unfolded, a decisive moment in the Biafra War - Banjo found himself at the heart of a deeply complex political and military drama. His leadership in the Midwest Invasion, his relationship with Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu, and his vision for Southern solidarity all came under fire, quite literally.

This full statement, delivered during his court martial offers rare insight into Banjo’s motives, disagreements with Biafran leadership, and his role in one of the most significant military campaigns of the war.

🔍 Whether you're exploring untold African history, seeking a deeper understanding of Yoruba and Igbo relations, or learning about the tensions within the Biafran movement, this account is a crucial piece of the puzzle.

📢 Let’s Discuss
Do you think Banjo was betrayed, or was he a political risk?
