On Tuesday, some Igbo lawmakers in the house of representatives protested against a special session in honour of late Nigerian Civil War hero, Brigadier-General Benjamin Adekunle (retd) aka Black Scorpion.

NIGERIAN TRIBUNE reported that the Speaker, Honourable Aminu Tambuwal, had called on house members to observe a minute silence in his honour of the late civil war hero when both Honourables Arua Arunsi and Udo Oluchi Ibeji, refused to stand as expected, but sat in defiance to the Speaker’s directive.

Explaining his defiance, Hon. Ibeji said, "I don’t care if he is dead or alive".

The house however, proceeded with the minute silence in honour of the Black scorpion.

Adekunle, died on September 13, 2014. He played a major role in the Nigerian Army’s defeat and recapturing of the breakaway Republic of Biafra, from 1967 till 1970.
