SENATOR NED NWOKO SAID WHEN THEY WERE CHILD, THEY WERE TOLD TO DENIAL BEING IGBO, WHEN THEY SEE NIGERIA SOLDIERS, TO AVOID BEING KILLED
In an interview with Channels Television, Nwoko said that he and other Anioma children were warned never to admit that they were Igbo whenever they saw Nigerian soldiers during that period. He explained that they were told to claim they were from Benin or Yoruba communities instead. He said this was the only way many Anioma people could survive during the civil war era
In Nwoko's words: "During the civil war, you know we had the Asaba massacre, after the Asaba massacre and the rest of the killings within our area, we were told as kids that, 'If you see Nigerian soldiers you must not admit that you are Igbo, you must tell them that you are from Benin or you are Yoruba'. These are the kind of things that we had to do to survive the ethnic cleansing that happened at that time"
