However, it appeared as if the warning was actually targeted at some people from the South-Eastern part of Nigeria calling for secession. In the now-deleted tweets, President Buhari said words to the effect: “Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Biafra war. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.” President Buhari who fought on the Nigerian side was a brigade major during the Biafra war.
