No less than seven people were killed, and about 30 more injured, most of them critically, when the Nigerian police and military reportedly opened fire dispersing a crowd of the pro- Biafra marchers at Onitsha in Anambra state on Sunday.
What started as a peaceful meeting … ended with a bloodbath..
According to some reports from Anambra state, three people were fatally shot dead on the spot and 30 others got bullet wounds when the police and Nigerian navy opened fire to disperse the crowd of the pro-Biafra marchers in Onitsha on Sunday.
More than twenty people were critically wounded and by this Monday morning there were seven people dead as a result of shooting at the demonstrators.

Critically wounded person gets treatment.

The death toll hasn’t been verified officially yet, but the
reports claim that those people were hit with stray bullets.

hmmm...my people,suffering because of lack of clear direction! chai...y?

Now, this is becoming melodramatic...

Isn't there a better way of dispersing people rather than shooting at them? What happened to tear gas?


we just been wasting lives

Another victim of the police and military shooting in Anambra state.
The crowd gathered under the aegis of the Indigenous People of Biafra which issued official statement condemning the shooting at the unarmed people.
Pro-Biafra marchers were peaceful and unarmed, reports claim.
“ How come our security men find it so easy to kill peaceful IPOB members but won’t lift a finger against the deadly Boko Haram? These brothers were peaceful in their engagement, they weren’t radical or causing any harm according to eye witnesses, they weren’t armed, so why shoot at them? ” was said in the IPOB statement.
The agitation for the actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has been on for some time now. The Republic of Biafra came about when a secessionist state situated in south- eastern of Nigeria tried to break away from Nigeria but were stopped. Biafra was inhabited mostly by the Igbo people and was in existence from 30th May 1967 to 15th January 1970.
The Movement for the Actualization of State of Biafra (MASSOB) is yet to give up the fight to secede from Nigeria. The group have even established a radio station, called Radio Biafra somewhere in Europe.

Mod pls do the needfull

aldrick:
Mod pls do the needfull

Yeah, mod do the needful... Front page things

People protesting for their freedom are been killed why the terrorist ravaging the North are still gaining grounds... Na to attack armless people be the koko for them....

Am nt igbo but if igbos would be marginalised and treated as strangers in their very own country,then they shouldnt forgive these animals..i stand with Biafra

this is really sad

Seven down, thousands to follow.Nnamu Kanu is really a great man.

Hmm... It seems the Ibos haven't learnt from what happened during the Biafran war. Perhaps they're fortified for another war. Meanwhile I think Buhari is not yet ready to reply them. When he is, they'll see the his real body language.

Although I vehemently condemn the action of the military and police on those unarmed civilians. Their bullets should be directed to boko haram and other criminals and not on people they're supposed to be protecting.

Mark my word buhari will soon die in that aso rock.

Rest in peace to # ONENIGERIA

Untill the igbos get armed like my militant brothers (see photo below) and counter the government dey will neva take dem crious. Dese mear protest will lead u guys loosing even thousand of ur members

you know, my initial intention was to insult u nicely but, I won't cos it changes nothing. But let me ask u, how would u feel if u re treated like a stranger in a country u are meant to call ur own? Secondly, is it by force to answer nigeria? Thirdly, which other country do u knw with so many ethnic groups and differences like nigeria that's being forced to answer one nation? Mr man its nt by force to answer one nigeria tell ur self the truth we don't belong together

Director Am not happy with you ! I will not listen to that radio again! Althouh am listening now! Thhe zoo wnt take us serious until we get to start using weapons! I will never come to IPOB meeting again if there is no adequate. Weapons to Kill and safeguard my self!!

Last month I contacted my US representative and senator to compel Congress to keep this Nigeria/Biafra issue on their radar. If you're reading this and you're a US citizen too with a concern for human life and/or your home you should do the same, contact your local congressional representative and senator. Make your reps choose a side.

I want to believe humans aren't dull enough to let history repeat itself.

If truly it was a peaceful match, how many northerners did police kill when they protested the article that was written in Denmark; they killed hundreds of southern Christians in Kano, Kaduna and Jos and the police/ Navy / Army went into hiding.



With issues like, Nigerian government keeps on giving the world more reasons to believe that the Igbos have a genuine reason to seek and be granted self determination.

Omololu007:

I'm not Igbo but permit to answer you.
Let me take you down memory lane because I discover history is alien to many Nigerians perhaps because we forget very fast.


A few years ago, there was an article written in Denmark denigrating Prophet Mohammed.


In Denmark,n no Muslims protested by killing anybody but in Nigeria, Muslims killed and maimed hundreds of southern Christians in Kano, Kaduna and Jos; the police/ Navy / army at that instance all went into hiding.



From my presentation above, can you see that Nigeria is like an animal kingdom where some animals are more equal than others? Can't you see that if it was Igbos that did such, Nigerian government would have declared full scale war on them?


Sometimes we get to drop emotion and reason with logic.

let these Ipob boys carry weapons...datz d only answer...military can't defeat a people...together with us Niger delta, no military man can dare us
