“… Nsukka is a small town located North of BIAFRA. The federal army arrived there at the beginning of the hostilities so as to pacify her. Whole families were decimated! Young girls of nine or eleven years old raped and murdered! Men were killed along the roads, macheted or stabbed with lesser regard than a sheep or a cow at a slaughter house! Two hundred children were rounded up at a place, poured fuel and set ablaze alive in a mighty conflagration. Four hundred and thirty elderly women who were no longer of any utility to the occupation army had their breasts chopped off in chains.

Later not contented with that they chopped off her two small hands and left her to bleed to death, there on the threshold of her burnt hut…”
