War museum in Nigeria
The National War Museum is Nigeria's only war museum located in Umuahia, Nigeria. It showcases the military history of Nigeria from objects of pre-colonial warfare to relics from the Biafra-Nigerian Civil War. It has a collection of tanks, armored vehicles, ships, and aircraft all from Nigeria or the defunct Republic of Biafra. Almost all tanks and AFLs are Biafran and all aircraft are Nigerian. Gazetted as a heritage site in Nigeria, the National War Museum is the main repository of the official narratives of the fratricidal war in Nigeria from 1967 to 1970.
