Abuja – Rights Lawyer, Ozekhome Rejects Classification of
IPOB as Terrorist Organization.

Are murderous headsmen, Killers of Hundreds in Agatu/
Southern Kaduna have been declared as Terrorists.
Constitutional Lawyer and Human Rights Activists, Chief Mike
Ozekhome has rejected the description of IPOB by the
Nigerian Military as a terrorist organization saying the federal
government appears to be selective in its pronouncement.

Ozekhome who was reacting to the Defence headquarters
categorization which was arrived at because IPOB was said to
be in possession of weapons, had a secret service and was
planning a national guard, wondered why other groups had
not been declared terrorists organizations.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria recalled the activities of the
deadly and murderous Fulani herdsmen who go about killing,
maiming and raping Nigerian, the killers of score in Agatu and
Southern Kaduna yet nobody declared them as terrorist
organizations wondering if the federal government is
operating two sets of laws for two sets of Nigerians.

He said, “I do not believe the instances cited by the Defence
Headquarters justify declaring IPOD a terrorist organization”.
“The last time I checked, I can’t remember any of such
organizations operating in the country being declared terrorist
organizations”.

“The herdsmen who go on rampage daily, maiming, raping,
killing, those responsible for the Agatu massacre, Shiites
massacre, Southern Kaduna progrom, indiscriminate killings,
brazen quit notices givers, across Nigeria, etc, have never
been arrested, prosecuted, let alone being proscribed and
stigmatized.as terrorist organizations.

“We must surely have and operate two sets of laws for two
sets of peoples in Nigeria. Nigeria, we hail thee”.
“A government should be seen to be fair to all component
parts of Nigeria.”

The description of IPOB as terrorist group is just a joke.
IPOB is not a peaceful group but at the moment, they have not constituted themselves in a manner that terrify Nigeria masses.

Well Personal yes. But only in Nigeria will the demand for freedom, and one's constitutionally guaranteed rights amounts to terrorism while killing, maiming, destroying Falae's farm is patriotism.
