A new documentary titled Asaba Massacre: October 1967 confronts one of Nigeria's most brutal civil war atrocities, where federal troops massacred over 700 unarmed civilians mostly men and boys in Asaba on October 7, 1967, amid Biafran secession chaos.
The film uncovers survivor testimonies, archival footage, and declassified accounts detailing how soldiers rounded up men, stripped them naked, lined them along the Niger River, and executed them in reprisal for perceived Biafran sympathies, leaving widows and orphans in stunned silence.
Director Sani Mu'azu aims to educate younger Nigerians ignorant of this genocide-scale event, sparking calls for official apologies, memorials, and reconciliation as the nation grapples with unresolved war scars 58 years later.
