The 2014 Enugu Government House Attack was carried out on 8 March 2014, when members of the militant group ''
Biafra Zionist Federation'' took control of the state house for about 4 hours and erected the flag of Biafra at the entrance of the house. The leader of the group Barrister Benjamin Onwuka gave Nigerians living in Biafran territory an ultimatum to vacate their land before 31 March 2014 or face the bloodbath that will come afterward.
It was initially reported that another pro-Biafran militant group
MASSOB was responsible for the attack, but this information was later discarded after BZF claimed responsibility for the attack. Benjamin Onwuka was arrested by the Nigeria Police Force after attempting to carry out a similar attack on
Enugu State Broadcasting Service.
