The renewed quest for an independent state of Biafra dates back to late 1960s. Biafra was first declared an independent state by Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu on 30th of May 1967, following the resolutions of the joint session of the Advisory Committee of Chiefs, Elders and the Consultative Assembly of the Representative of the People of Eastern Nigeria. This had followed a breakdown of negotiation to restore normalcy after a July 1966 counte-coup, spearheaded by Nigerian army officers of northern extraction, triggered massive killing of easterners in the north. The subsequent influx of easterners back to their region of origin for safety, created a refugee problem for the eastern regional government. These, coupled with discovery of oil in the region, made the push for secession very attractive.
