1967
enugu became a municipality in 1956 with umaru altine its first mayor. after four years passed, nigeria gained its independence in 1960. on 27 may 1967 the nigerian government divided the western, northern and eastern region into 12 states and enugu was made the capital of the new east central state. on 30 may 1967 enugu was declared the capital of the short-lived republic of biafra, the latter created out of the eastern nigerian states of east central, cross river and rivers. biafra was declared by ojukwu because of eastern nigeria after their members were attacked injured and killed in a series of ethnic attacks launched by some other ethnic groups in other parts of the country following the first military coup executed by mostly igbo generals, in which top northern nigerian leaders among others were terminated. the main rivals of the mostly igbo eastern nigerians were the hausa/fulani people of northern nigeria. a northern headed war on the secession (1967—1970) and continuous attacks on the igbos in other part of nigeria lead igbos from northern and western nigeria to return to their "native" areas in eastern nigeria and enugu became a destination. radio biafra, alternatively the voice of biafra (formerly the eastern nigerian broadcasting service), was based in enugu; it was from here that the biafran leader, chukwuemeka odumegwu ojukwu, broadcast speeches and propaganda to biafrans and nigeria. because of the war, enugu witnessed a decrease in the number of non-igbo, specifically non-eastern nigerian residents. on 4 october 1967 the nigerian military bombarded enugu with artillery just outside its boundaries before capturing it a week later, shortly after this umuahia became the new capital of the republic. years after the republic of biafra reverted to nigeria, enugu is still regarded as the "capital of igboland."
