In the resulting riots, the imperial police stood by and watched as Igbos and Biafrans were killed in hundreds. Below is the timeline of the massacres:
The violence and massacre against Igbos by their northern compatriots dates back as far as 1945.
It is a fact of history and I’m surprised that some people claim ignorance of this. It started when the civil servants most of whom were Igbos obeyed the call for strike by trade union who had the sympathy of NCNC.
The British whom the action was targeted at instigated the northern populace to move against the striking workers which quickly became a subterfuge to commit genocide against Igbo Biafrans.
1945 – Jos massacre
