About Victor Banjo
- Victor Banjo (April 1, 1930 – September 22, 1967) was a Colonel in the Nigerian Army.
- He ended up in the Biafran Army during the Nigerian Civil War.
- Victor Banjo was mistaken for a coup plotter against the Nigerian Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa, by the Government of Aguyi Ironsi.
- He was alleged to have staged a coup plot against Biafran President Odumegwu Ojukwu and was executed as a result.
- It took a second military tribunal judge to sentence Banjo, because Ojukwu's first military judge stated that there were not enough evidence to convict him of coup charges.
- There has been no third-party verification of Banjo's involvement in either the Nigerian Coup nor the Biafran Coup.
- His alleged involvement in both coup plots has been based on unsubstantiated hearsay.
