The untold story of the Biafran 'Ogbunigwe', the greatest invention of Igbo land


This is arguably the greatest invention of Igbo land, made by the Biafran Research and Production Group (RAP) headed Dr. Felix Oragwu a nuclear physicist during the war.

Inititially, it was designed to be a surface to air rocket to combat Mig 16’s. In a retreat Biafran soldiers ran out of ammunition and used the rockets. The results were amazing. They then became surface to surface.

The air force was in an equally bad state, having a single B-26, with this the Biafraian air force quickly started to launch air attacks on Nigerian targets
Major Uchendu led 700 men armed with Ogbunigwe rockets and killed up to 6000 federal troops of the 2nd division commanded by Murtala Muhammad at Abagana along the Onitsha-Enugu highway– March 31, 1968.
