The National War Museum in Umuahia commemorates the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 to 1970 and the country's broader military history. Displays include tanks, artillery, aircraft, and improvised weapons produced by the breakaway Biafran forces, alongside uniforms and archival material. The grounds incorporate the underground bunker that once housed the clandestine "Voice of Biafra" radio station. Set in the southeastern city that served as a rebel capital, the museum offers a rare and detailed account of a conflict that shaped modern Nigeria.
