Untold Story of Joe 'Hannibal' Achuzia, A Dreaded Hero & Villain of Biafra

In this edition of #Hisplemedia, I will take you through the untold story of #JosephAchuzia, the most feared hero and villain of the Biafran war. Joseph Oseloka Achuzia was one of the outstanding military commanders to emerge during the Nigerian Civil War or #Biafrawar.
He was known by the monikers ‘Joe Air Raid’ and ‘Hannibal’.
Achuzia achieved folk hero status among his fellow Biafrans who tried to secede from Nigeria.
He was credited with several success stories during the war.
When the war ended in January 1970, the international media described him as a “legend in Africa” and “perhaps the greatest guerrilla leader of them all''.
But over the course of time doubts began to emerge over the successes attributed to Achuzia.
