The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great and indefatigable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu condemn the indiscriminate extrajudicial executions of Igbo youths across the South East Region particularly in Orlu province of Imo State by the Nigerian Army and Police.
The latest extrajudicial execution of some youths from Obidi Ogberuru of Ihite-Owerri in Orlu, Imo State by the Nigerian Army, is among the most horrible silent ethnic cleansing practices that the Nigerian Government is sponsoring against Ndigbo in Alaigbo. These murdered youths were going about their normal business peacefully. Sadly, they were accosted by the Nigerian Army on patrol and were shot dead for doing nothing.
There are many unreported killings and enforced disappearance of the youths in the South East Region, particularly in Imo State by the Nigerian Security Forces. Why are the Nigerian Army on patrol in our villages? The silent genocide of Igbo youths in the South East Region that started during the Buhari regime has been sustained in this Tinubu’s government.
Why the hate?
Nigerian soldiers and Police are the real terrorists terrorizing Ndigbo and making Alaigbo unsafe. The tribal bigoted government of Tinubu is doing everything to provoke Ndigbo to pick up arms in self-defense so he can unleash a full war on Ndigbo like his kinsmen did between 1967-1970. But, they can’t control the future.
We are alerting Igbo governors, Ndigbo at home and notable Ndigbo in diaspora, the international community, and Human Rights organisations to be aware of the silent genocide being perpetrated by the Nigeria government against unarmed civilians in the South East Region or Biafra Land.
Igbo governors must work to stop the indiscriminate arrests, extrajudicial executions, and forceful disappearances of Igbo youths in the hands of the Nigerian Security Forces.
The Nigerian government and her murderous Security Forces have profiled Ndigbo for elimination.
They are silently and systematically killing and disappearing innocent Igbo youths. The constant harassment and silent genocide is a strategic plan to intimidate Igbo youths to desert their communities while making their communities vulnerable to the Fulani terrorists’ attacks.
The entire South East is heavily militarized and policed to choke life out of Ndigbo land. What has Ndigbo done wrong to warrant the brazen slaughter of innocent Igbo youths by the Nigerian government and her murderous security agencies?
The earlier the Nigerian government and the international community conduct a referendum for Biafrans to decide either to peacefully and democratically exit Nigeria or remain in suffering with Nigeria, the better for Nigerians and Biafrans alike. But using intimidation, illegal arrests, torture, extrajudicial executions, and enforced disappearance to coerce Biafrans to accept Nigeria will not work. Instead of Biafrans to love Nigeria with the level of innocent Biafran blood wasted so far, they will be radicalized to hate Nigeria the more.
Forced unity is slavery. Ndigbo is known to revolt against slavery. Our ancestors revolted against British slavery, our fathers revolted against Nigerian hegemony, and this generation of Biafrans will revolt against silent genocide and ethnic cleansing if the Nigeria government refuses to do the needful.
How could the Nigeria government and her murderous Security Forces be eliminating innocent Igbo youths as if our youths are animals. But one thing is certain to the tribal bigot government of Nigeria, Ndigbo cannot be profiled and defeated.
Ndigbo did not come into this world by mistake. God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama has given us our ancestral lands, and nobody can coerce us to abandon it.
The murderous Nigerian soldiers and police who delight in wasting Biafran’s blood should remember that one day, their blood will be spilled also.
He that kills by the sword shall die by sword. Biafrans are not animals that are to be hunted by the Nigerian government and her murderous security forces.
