Operation Tiger Claw
Operation Tiger Claw (October 17–19, 1967) was a military conflict between Nigerian and Biafran military forces. The battle took place in the major port of Calabar. The Nigerian were led by the infamous Benjamin Adekunle while the Biafrans were led by Maj. Ogbu Oji. The aftermath was a major loss to the Biafrans because it cost the Biafrans one of their largest ports.
==Background==
On May 30, 1967, the Republic of Biafra declared independence from Nigeria. Biafra was created under the rule of Odumegwu Ojukwu. This was caused by the Anti-Igbo sentiment of 1966 which caused the deaths of thousands of Igbo people. One month after secession on July 6, 1967, Nigerian troops invaded Biafra at the Battle of Nsukka. The Biafrans soon capitalized and invaded the Midwestern Region of Nigeria which started the Midwest Invasion of 1967. The Biafrans kept control of Nigeria's midwest region and even created the Republic of Benin which fell to Nigerian troops on September 20, 1967. Before the end of the Midwest Invasion the Nigerians invaded the Biafran capital of Enugu. The Fall of Enugu ended on October 4, 1967, with a Nigerian victory. The Biafran capital was then moved to Umuahia where it remained for 2 years. On October 7, 1967, Nigerian troops took control of Bonny and made their way to Calabar.
