GOWON AND ASABA MASSACRE, A WAR CRIME TRIAL AND NOT APOLOGIES

Asaba people welcomed Nigerian soldiers with open arms during the Biafran War. Murtala Mohammed and Ibrahim Taiwo shot the welcoming civilians with clenched fingers on their triggers.

Their crimes?

They spoke Igbo, the language that still carries a death sentence in Nigeria, 56 years after the Biafran war.

A son of the war criminal read an incoherent apology to the survivors of the massacre at Asaba.

Good, but not good enough. If Hitler was held ultimately accountable for the Jewish Holocaust, the Commander-in-Chief of the Biafran Holocaust and Asaba Massacre, Yakubu Gowon, must be hauled before the ICC at the Hague for trial
