During World War II the Japanese maintained a strategic supply base at Tamandu. It was retaken by the 25th Infantry Division (India) and the 82nd (West Africa) Division in March 1945 as part of the Arakan Campaign,[4] and a number of short documentary films were made there that year.[5] The Tamandu Barracks in Lagos, Nigeria and Tamandu Road in Kano, Nigeria were named after the village.[6]
