Biafra: Is Punch Newspaper's website under attack by secession struggle?

In the early hours of Tuesday 1st of December, it was observed that the favicon on the online platform of Punch Newspapersshowed the flag of Biafra in place of the Punch logo.


This has already began to generate varying opinions among Nigerians with two opinions getting the most weight. The first is of those saying that the newspaper is showing soliidarity. The second, which is the most popular according to feedback, argues that Punch has been hacked.

The latter opinion is also strengthened by theRadio Biafra Facebook page which refers to Punch Newspaper as the 'evil yoruba Newspaper'


We reached out to the Editor of Punch, but as at press time, there has been no response from the Newspaper.

We'll keep you posted as the story develops.
