During the Civil War

One community in the entire Igbo region stood out throughout the 33-month civil war as a result of the struggle for a new republic for several reasons. Amorka, a border town in Anambra State that shares a border with the Mgbidi people of Imo State, is the place in question.

Significance

Amorka was important for several reasons, not just one. The Biafra Airport, which is actually in Amorka but was mistakenly named Uli Airstrip, and the

Ojukwu's bunker

Ojukwu Bunker, which protected Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the head of the Biafra nation.

Once more, the airfield was used to import military hardware to support the Biafran people in their fight, as General Gowon's command to starve the Biafran people of food prevented anyone from considering utilizing an airport in Nigeria to transport aid to the Biafran population. The airport effectively served as Biafra's gateway to the outside world in this fashion.

Amorka was a unique area during the war because of the Ojukwu Bunker, which provided a safe haven for the leader of Biafra. Those who knew that Ojukwu was constantly in Amorka, in the underground bunker, despite popular belief that he had fled the nation. It has a bunker.
