March on Catholics Suppressed in Lagos Riot
Nigerian students in Lagos celebrated a claimed victory over secessionist Biafra but police halted the March on the Roman Catholic Secretariat with tear gas amid anti Catholic overtones. Gowon announced surrender of Biafra in a midnight broadcast and urged peace emissaries while promising protection to Biafran troops. The West offered 10 tons of medical supplies and $10 million in famine aid, with U.S. and British leaders calling for mercy for Ibo refugees as Pope Paul VI planned to dispatch aid emissaries.
