Asaba Massacre: Address By Prof. T. Uzodinma Nwala President of Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF) At the Occasion of the 50th Commemoration |
The report below is the message the ADF President, Prof T. Uzodinma Nwala in the company of ADF delegation delivered at the occasion of the 50th Commemoration of the Asaba Massacre
The event marks the Asaba genocide, the series of gruesome cold-blooded killings of innocent civilians by troops of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, culminating in the “DANCE OF DEATH” at Ogbeosewah in Asaba on October 7th, 1967.
On that one day alone hundreds of helpless people were mowed down and buried dead or alive in mass graves.
It is no doubt, the darkest chapter in our history which we must continue to recall for the benefit of our children including those unborn.
