Harrison Gwamnishu Debunks Claims Linking IPOB to Kidnapping in Imo State youtu.be/GFoHn13Q0Lg In a strongly worded statement, Harrison Gwamnishu has firmly rejected attempts to link the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to the ongoing kidnapping incidents in Imo State. Gwamnishu, who personally intervened in one of the recent kidnapping cases, urged the public not to accuse their own people of heinous crimes simply to satisfy certain ideologies or external narratives. He presented clear evidence from the incident, asking the public to carefully watch a video in which the victims themselves identified the armed kidnappers terrorizing communities in Imo State. He also released voice recordings captured while the criminals were still inside the forest. “My only regret is that none of them were captured alive or neutralized, so the world would clearly know who they truly are,” he stated. Gwamnishu emphasized his commitment to truth and integrity, saying he will never twist facts or manipulate real issues to gain favor from anyone. He recalled a similar situation in Enugu State where the Army had released a report alleging IPOB involvement in a kidnapping case. Gwamnishu immediately disagreed with that report, stating that investigations on ground showed it was not true. According to him, those arrested with the ransom money were not IPOB members. Concluding his statement, Gwamnishu expressed deep concern over the prevailing insecurity in the region, praying: “At this difficult time, may God save us all, because many people are suffering and losing hope.” Family Writers Press International.

Revisiting Aburi: Ojukwu’s Uncompromising Stand for Peace Against Gowon’s Duplicity iconsnews.com/2026/05/revisi… While Gen. Yakubu Gowon continues to claim in his recent autobiography that Ojukwu frustrated peace efforts, the official Aburi Accord minutes tell the truth: Ojukwu passionately pushed for non-violence, renounced the use of force, and warned that Gowon was secretly buying arms from Italy even as they discussed peace. Ojukwu stood by the agreement. Gowon backtracked, betrayed the spirit of Aburi, and chose war. Decades later, the question remains: Has union by force made Nigeria better? A powerful historical correction everyone must read."

Nigeria didn’t just betray Aburi Accord and Biafra, it betrayed Africa and the conscience of the world. That is why, decades later, its wounds still fester and its problems refuse to die.

In the Aburi Accord minutes (January 4, 1967), Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu made a very strong and clear proposal for peaceful resolution right at the beginning of the meeting. youtu.be/_HlbZa8PLyY?si… Ojukwu’s Key Suggestion: While addressing the issue of arms importation and military build-up, Ojukwu stated that "no useful progress" could be made in the meeting if the military leaders continued preparing for war. He then "proposed a formal resolution" that all members must adopt "at the outset" before any other discussions. His core suggestion was: "Renounce the use of force" as a means of settling the Nigerian crisis. Full Peace Proposal by Ojukwu: Ojukwu recommended that the Supreme Military Council should unanimously agree to three main peaceful principles: 1. "Renounce the use of force" completely as a way to solve Nigeria’s problems. 2. "Reaffirm their faith in discussions and negotiation" as the "only peaceful way" of resolving the Nigerian crisis. 3. "Agree to exchange information" on arms and ammunition available in each region and share them equitably (to build trust). This resolution was "proposed by Ojukwu", debated, and "unanimously adopted" by all military leaders present (including Gowon, Katsina, Ejoor, etc.). Why Ojukwu Pushed for This: - He accused the Federal Government of secretly importing arms (e.g., £1 million worth from Italy stored in Kaduna). - He believed that while they were talking peace in Aburi, some sides were preparing for war. - He insisted that "peace through dialogue", not military power, was the only path forward to prevent further bloodshed. Outcome: This became one of the most important agreements of the Aburi Accord. The final declaration (signed by all leaders) stated: “We the members of the Supreme Military Council... hereby solemnly and unequivocally "DECLARE" that we renounce the use of force as a means of settling the present crisis in Nigeria... and "RE-AFFIRM" our faith in discussions and negotiation as the only peaceful way of resolving the Nigerian crisis.” Summary: Ojukwu suggested that "true peace could only come through renouncing violence" and committing to "talks and negotiation". He made this a "precondition" for the success of the Aburi meeting.

Gowon’s Latest Revisionism Exposed: Ojukwu Did Not Frustrate Peace - You Did, By Betraying Aburi Accord iconsnews.com/2026/05/gowons…

Gowon’s Latest Revisionism Exposed: Ojukwu Did Not Frustrate Peace - You Did, By Betraying Aburi Accord In his newly launched autobiography My Life of Service and Allegiance, former Head of State Yakubu Gowon has once again attempted to rewrite history by accusing the late Biafran leader, Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, of “frustrating all peace moves” and single handedly derailing efforts to avert the Nigerian Civil War. This claim is not only false it is a shameless distortion of documented facts, coming from the very man who personally signed the Aburi Accord and later tore it apart under pressure from Lagos civil servants and northern hardliners. Ojukwu’s Own Words Destroy Gowon’s Narrative In a detailed, firsthand account, Ojukwu made it crystal clear that “Aburi was a complete success” until Gowon returned to Lagos and reneged on everything agreed upon. “Our case was so clear, so straightforward, that there really was not much room for any doubt or confusion at all,” Ojukwu stated. The meeting in Aburi, Ghana, in January 1967 was not a failure of negotiation. It was a triumph of consensus among military colleagues. All parties, including Gowon fully negotiated, drafted, and agreed on the resolutions. Transcripts and audio tapes exist to this day as irrefutable evidence. Ojukwu even reviewed fresh copies of the records shortly before giving the interview. The Spirit of Brotherhood at Aburi Far from the tension Gowon now tries to portray, the conference ended on an extraordinarily warm and hopeful note. Ghana’s General Joseph Ankrah was so impressed that he personally drove both Gowon and Ojukwu to the airport. In a moving gesture aboard the car, Ojukwu took Gowon’s hand, placed it on Ankrah’s lap, covered it with his own, and asked Ankrah to “hold us together.” Ojukwu then gave this solemn assurance: “General, I am genuinely and totally satisfied with everything we said… Once we have fully and successfully implemented this, I would like to ask you for just one favour… for you to be the one who proposes Jack Gowon as the Head of State of Nigeria.” This was not the action of a man frustrating peace. This was a leader extending trust and brotherhood. Concrete Agreements Reached, Then Abandoned by Gowon At Aburi, they unanimously agreed on: Establishment of “Area Commands” for the Armed Forces Decentralization of the “Police Force” A new “revenue sharing formula” Regional control over internal affairs “Concurrence of every region” required for national decisions Change of Gowon’s title from Supreme Commander to “Commander-in-Chief” Ojukwu emphatically rejected the confederation label thrust upon him: “Everybody talks about confederation. Go and look at the transcript. There is no time that the word confederation came from my lips.” Yet upon returning to Lagos, Gowon influenced by “some ambassadors” and federal permanent secretaries, began denying the agreement. The same man who shook hands and smiled at Aburi suddenly claimed the deal was misunderstood. Who Truly Frustrated Peace? Ojukwu returned to Enugu and threw a celebration, believing the crisis was over. Gowon returned to Lagos and allowed the agreement to be shredded. When the denials began, Ojukwu released the “Aburi tapes” publicly so Nigerians could judge for themselves. Gowon’s regime proceeded with Decree No. 8, which many saw as a watered-down betrayal of the full spirit of Aburi. The historical record is devastatingly clear: Gowon signed it. Gowon killed it. Enough of the Blame Game For over five decades, Gowon has tried to shift responsibility for the war that claimed millions of lives mostly Igbo civilians onto Ojukwu. His new book is simply the latest chapter in this tiresome revisionism. Ojukwu did not start the war. The pogroms against Easterners did not start with Ojukwu. The refusal to honour a solemnly reached agreement did not start with Ojukwu. It was Gowon who had the power to implement Aburi and chose not to. While Nigeria is still struggling with the same fundamental issues of true federalism, regional autonomy, and restructuring, issues that were already solved at Aburi in 1967, Gowon’s book brings no message of unity. It only exposes once again the original betrayal: the monumental failure of honesty and leadership from the very top. The tapes are still available. The transcripts are still there. History cannot be rewritten with a book launch. On Aburi we still stand. The truth remains unchanged. Family Writers Press International.

A trailer lost control earlier today and rammed into a crowded market at New Mile 3 in Gombe State, tragically killing four people and leaving several others injured.

A heartbreaking case of human trafficking has emerged from Delta State. A 19 year old girl, Ejiro, was lured to Ivory Coast with false promises of a good job by a family friend. Instead, she was forced into prostitution, brutally exploited, and allegedly had her womb removed. After being abandoned in Lagos, she made her way back home and reported the matter to the police. Two women Blessing Mongo (47) and Esther (32) have been arrested for their roles in the trafficking. Delta State Police described the incident as one of the most pathetic and inhuman cases they have ever seen. A sad reminder of the dangers of “greener pastures” abroad.

Aburi Accord: Ojukwu frustrated all peace moves — Gowon Former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, has reopened one of the most painful chapters in Nigeria’s history, accusing late Biafran leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, of frustrating repeated efforts to stop the country from sliding into civil war. The claim, contained in Gowon’s autobiography, My Life of Service and Allegiance, offers a deeply personal account of the failed peace talks, political mistrust and constitutional disputes that shattered negotiations between the federal military government and the Eastern Region before the 1967–1970 Civil War. Gowon spoke in the autobiography, where he reflected on the tensions that followed the January and July 1966 coups and the events that eventually pushed Nigeria into war. “Ojukwu deliberately and effectively thwarted every effort we made to amicably resolve our national issues,” Gowon wrote. The former military ruler said several attempts were made to reach a political settlement after the killings of Igbos in parts of Northern Nigeria triggered outrage, fear and growing separatist pressure in the Eastern Region. According to him, the federal military government agreed to the January 1967 meeting in Aburi, Ghana, believing dialogue could still prevent the collapse of the federation. “We went to Aburi with open minds and with the sincere hope of finding a basis for national reconciliation,” Gowon wrote. The meeting, brokered by former Ghanaian leader, Lt.-Gen. Joseph Arthur Ankrah, brought together Nigeria’s top military officers at a time the country was already under severe strain from coups, ethnic killings and deepening distrust within the armed forces. But Gowon said the talks ran into trouble after both sides returned from Ghana with different interpretations of what had been agreed. According to him, Ojukwu’s interpretation of the Aburi Accord would have weakened the authority of the Federal Government and left the country too fragile to survive as one nation. What was presented by Ojukwu as the Aburi Accord was, in reality, his own interpretation of our discussions,” he wrote. Gowon said his government found itself caught between mounting regional tension and fears that accepting Ojukwu’s demands would accelerate the breakup of the country. Even then, he maintained that efforts to avoid war continued. “At every stage, we tried to preserve Nigeria without resorting to war,” Gowon wrote. The autobiography revisits the long-running debate over whether the Aburi Accord represented Nigeria’s last real chance for peace or whether the country had already moved too close to confrontation for any agreement to hold. Rejecting claims that the federal government negotiated in bad faith, Gowon described the period as one marked by fear, suspicion and rapidly eroding trust among military and political leaders struggling to keep the federation together. “Ojukwu’s actions made peaceful settlement increasingly difficult,” he wrote. Gowon also reflected on the killings that followed the failed coups of 1966, acknowledging the fear and trauma experienced by many Eastern Nigerians living outside their region. He said the massacre of Igbos deeply troubled him and further complicated efforts to rebuild national trust at a time tensions were already dangerously high. “I understood the fears of the Easterners. But the breakup of Nigeria was never an option I could accept,” Gowon stated. The former Head of State said communication between both sides steadily deteriorated in the months leading to Biafra’s declaration on May 30, 1967, as suspicion hardened positions and compromise became more difficult. “We were confronted with a situation in which compromise was becoming almost impossible,” Gowon wrote. He also defended the federal military government’s decision to create 12 states shortly before Biafra’s declaration, saying the move was aimed at addressing fears of domination among minority ethnic groups and reducing the concentration of power within the regions. According to him, several minority communities in the old Eastern Region wanted direct recognition from the federal government and feared being politically overshadowed. “The creation of states was intended to give all groups a sense of belonging within Nigeria,” he wrote. Gowon rejected claims that the federal government was eager for war, insisting that military confrontation became unavoidable only after the declaration of Biafra. “Ojukwu’s declaration of Biafra left the federal government with no choice,” he wrote. The former military ruler also defended the ‘No Victor, No Vanquished’ policy announced at the end of the Civil War in January 1970, saying reconciliation and reintegration were necessary to rebuild the country after years of bloodshed. According to him, the war was fought to preserve Nigeria’s unity rather than to punish any ethnic group. “We fought to keep Nigeria one, not to destroy a people,” Gowon wrote. Reflecting on the humanitarian toll of the war, which claimed millions of lives and displaced many others, Gowon said the post-war years required restraint, reconciliation and deliberate efforts to prevent lasting national division. “We had to think about the future of the country beyond the bitterness of war,” he wrote. Though Ojukwu maintained until his death in 2011 that Biafra emerged out of necessity and the failure of the Nigerian state to protect Easterners, Gowon’s memoir presents a sharply different account, placing responsibility for the collapse of peace talks squarely on the late Biafran leader. “We exhausted every peaceful avenue available to us. But Nigeria had to survive,” Gowon wrote.
