Biafra Day Celebration Turns Bloody by mediang: 6:22am On May 31, 2016
Biafra Day anniversary celebration turned bloody, yesterday, in South-East states as soldiers and policemen clashed with pro-Biafra groups. Victims of the clash in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

In the commercial city of Onitsha, our reporters quoted eye witnesses as saying that about 40 people, including a soldier, were killed, while over 50 were arrested. The incident, according to eye witnesses, started at about 3 a.m. when security forces entered the premises of St. Edmund’s Catholic Church, Nkpor Agu, near Onitsha and allegedly opened fire on the worshippers, accusing them of being Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, members, during which five were killed, while 10 others were injured.

The source further stated at 8 a.m., the security forces, who patrolled all nooks and crannies of Onitsha, Nkpor, Ogidi and environs, allegedly swooped on another batch of suspected IPOB members, where about 20 were allegedly killed and scores injured. At about 11 a.m, the patrol team allegedly killed another 15, thus bringing the total casualty rate to about 40.

While the security force are killing innocent protesters ,the fulanis herdsmen are also killing innocent villages. Can this unfair, heinous , barbaric, inhumane act on some region be called one Nigeria? Those innocent victims that was killed will continue to fight for their rights and cost to torment anybody that unjustly murder them .
