Nnamdi Kanu has paid tribute to a Biafra warlord, Colonel Joseph Achuzia as he celebrates his 90th birthday describing him as one of the greatest battle commanders in the 20th century. Sources close to leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra in an exclusive report to NAIJ.com said he paid a visit to Achuzia.
He reportedly described Achuzia as a brave soldier who with fewer soldiers was able to defeat the Nigerian soldiers during the Biafra war.
The family source said Kanu reiterated that it was important to honour those who fought during the Biafra war by staying at home on May 30. He said: "His name is Col. Achuzia "Air Raid". He defeated the British-backed Murtala Muhammed led Nigerian Army at the famous Abagana battle. He was to repeat that feat later when he got the order to lead the Biafran counter offensive that recaptured Owerri from the British sponsored Nigerian Army with fewer men and ammunition. Marshall Zhukov of the Soviet Red Army is the only commander comparable to Achuzia in the last 100 years.
"Col. Achuzia and Brigadier Timothy Onwuatuegwu are the finest soldiers the world has ever known and they are Biafrans. We celebrate him today and must honour his colleagues on the 30th of May with sit-at-home."
