@ratelfanbase: General Murtala Ramat Muhammed, he played a major role in the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). At the beginning of the war, Murtala Muhammed became the first commander of Nigeria’s 2nd Infantry Division. � cbn.gov.ng His division was responsible for pushing Biafran forces out of the Mid-Western Region, including Benin City, after Biafran forces had advanced westward. � Punch Newspapers +1 His troops then attempted to cross the River Niger and advance into the Biafran-held Eastern Region. Several crossing attempts resulted in heavy casualties from drowning and fighting. � Wikipedia His command is also associated with the Asaba massacre of October 1967, in which large numbers of civilians were killed by Nigerian troops. The exact circumstances and responsibility remain subjects of historical research and debate, but scholarly work documents the killings and links them to troops under the 2nd Division #500kviews #Ratel #ratelmovement #vdmllr #VDM @Moderndaytowncrier
