A Nigeria-Biafra war veteran who fought on the Nigerian side against the Biafrans has said those who prepare anti-bullet charms and voodoo in the hope of reducing bullets to impotence when fired at them certainly have got another think coming.
He said this while fielding questions in a chat with Vanguard. The retired army general who spoke amid other things on the Biafra agitation recounted the painful loss of a senior officer deployed in Bonny who he gave a battalion to command at the time.
According to him, ''When I was in Bonny, I had this senior, who didn't do too well in his earlier times and, so, he wasn’t getting promoted too well, so I overtook him. One day, a ship arrived from Lagos and he was on the ship. He didn't tell me he was coming, so I thought maybe he came to visit or something. Apparently, he brought a posting paper, that he had been sent to Bonny. I gave him a battalion to command.''
On the efficacy of anti-bullet charms and voodoo, he said, '' Five days later, we had an operation which I had planned before he took over that battalion, but I decided to go with him to that operation – that was in Bonny. Lo and behold, as we were just holed up in one foxhole there, with heavy fighting going on, I just saw him going down. Ha! He had been shot. We got the medical people to quickly come and evacuate him and see if he could be saved. By the time they removed his dress, behold, he had a life-tortoise strapped to his body. And I wondered, how come the bullet hit him and he still died? So, all these people who say they are not afraid of bullets, or that they have one voodoo that can turn bullets to water so that it does not hit them, I feel for them because in the military and on the war front, these things don’t work that way.''
