How Biafran war pitched Nsukka communities against military authorities – Alumona

THE DEFUNCT Nigerian/Biafran civil war ended with ‘no victor, no vanquished’ but memories and scars of the civil war still hang on communities that were devastated by the ravages of the war. One of such communities is Agu-Echara, a suburb of the university town where the then Biafran army camped before it collapsed into the hands of  federal troops. The area in question which is over 500 hectares comprising of three communities is popularly known, addressed and called Army Barracks, Nsukka.

Soon after the war, there was a long-drawn-out battle for ownership of the large expanse of land between the indigenes and Nigerian Army. However, after Nigerian soldiers that occupied there were withdrawn, the communities laying claim to ownership of the land tried to reclaim it but met stiff resistance from military authorities who clung tenaciously to it, precipitating a long drawn legal tussle that lingered for over eight years.
