本杰明·阿德库恩勒

Benjamin Adekunle was a Nigerian military commander best known for leading the Third Marine Commando Division during the Nigerian Civil War. His career linked national army command, amphibious and riverine warfare, a harsh counter-secession strategy, and the manner in which postcolonial states use military force to defend territorial unity at immense human cost. He became one of the most visible commanders of the federal war effort against Biafra. His leadership demonstrated that military leadership in civil war is judged not only by operational success, but also by the severity, rhetoric, and political meaning attached to the methods used to defeat secession.
