Former member of the Enugu State House of Assembly and ex-South-East spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, Denge Onoh, has criticised former Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, over his recent comments on civilian casualties during the Nigerian Civil War, describing the remarks as a dangerous minimisation of the human tragedy of the conflict.

In a statement yesterday, Onoh faulted Gowon’s remarks during an interview on Arise Television in which the former military ruler said that after visiting former Biafran territories following the war, he noticed black spots on palm trees and was informed they were bullet marks.
