Its territory consisted of the Eastern Region of Nigeria(11 States of South East and South South).
After Biafra’s declaration of independence, Nigeria declared war on the nascent state, defeating them in the Nigerian Civil War and reuniting the two states.
Now Biafran restoration agitation is at its apogee under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB.
