Family of Major (Dr.) Albert Onweazu Okonkwo Releases Rare Historic Photographs

In a remarkable gesture that has thrilled historians and Civil War researchers, the family of Major (Dr.) Albert Onweazu Okonkwo has released a collection of rare and unseen photographs of the former Biafran administrator.

According to a report by journalist Emeka Esogbue, the release follows a special request by Pen Master for more visual documentation on the life of Okonkwo — a man who played a crucial role during the Nigerian Civil War as the Military Administrator of the Midwestern Region under Biafran command in 1967.

The newly released photographs offer a glimpse into Okonkwo’s life after the war, showcasing moments of peace, family, and reflection. Among the images is one of Major (Dr.) Okonkwo dressed in traditional attire, and another featuring him with his American wife, Elaine, giving the public a rare view into his personal world.

The release is already gaining attention within academic and historical circles, with many describing it as a valuable contribution to Nigeria’s post-war documentation efforts.
