From loquacious Femi Fani-Kayode:
"Only six months later, on July 29, 1966, Ironsi and no fewer than 300 Igbo army officers reaped the consequences of their actions and plot when they were all killed in just one night during the northern officers’ revenge coup .....a few weeks later, between September 29, 1966 and the middle of October of that same year, approximately 50,000 Igbo civilians were attacked and slaughtered in a series of horrendous pogroms in the north as a reprisal for the killing of the northern leaders......."
How can a man with blood running in his veins be beating his chest at this? The massacre is no doubt one of the worst genocides in human history
