A Senior Special Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has claimed that the Republic of Biafra will never be in existence again.
She disclosed this on Monday after the reported attack on the Imo State Police Command headquarters and the Owerri Correctional Prison, which led to the release of over 1,800 inmates and the destruction of scores of vehicles and state assets.
Mohammed Adamu, former Inspector-General of Police, had fingered the operatives of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to have perpetrated the attacks, although the group has denied involvement in the attacks.
After the mayhem, Onochie tweeted a video showing former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, receiving the then Biafran Vice President, Major General Philip Effiong, who facilitated the surrender of the Biafran State to Nigeria in 1970.
Effiong had assumed leadership of the secessionist state after the Biafran leader, Colonel Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, fled to Cote D’Ivoire in the heat of the civil war.
She captioned the video, “Relief on the faces of Philip Effiong 2nd in command to Ojukwu & his men as they surrender says #NeverAgainBiafra
“The joy on d face of d then Head of state Yakubu Gowon says, #OneNigeria.
“The very day nails were put in the coffin of #Biafra There’ll never be Biafra again, Never!”
