Following the recent civil disturbances and subsequent breakdown of law and order in Emene, Enugu State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has summoned an emergency State Security Council meeting.

The meeting, according to a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Simon Uchenna Ortuanya, will hold on Tuesday, September 1, 2020, at the Executive Council Chambers, Lion Building, Government House, Enugu, and scheduled for 2pm.

The statement added that "all security agencies in the state are expected to brief His Excellency, the Governor, fully, on the immediate and remote causes of the clashes, as well as advance measures to avert such occurrences in the future.”

It would be recalled that there was a clash in Emene, on Sunday, which prompted Gov. Ugwuanyi to visit the scene, where he was assured that normalcy has returned.

As much as I despise Nnamdi Kanu’s rhetorics and method, I’d have to concede that IPOB members are being bullied, intimidated unnecessarily and being pushed to the wall

Every commissioner of Police especially from the northern part of Nigeria posted to Enugu understands the docility of the residents and exploits that.
It wouldn’t be happening if the governors were not apathetic or insouciant. Invasion of Enugu by Fulani mercenaries comes to mind. Nothing has happened since that attack. No public statement on the fate of the criminals and murderers. Enugu citizens are expected to move on and not talk about it.

Young men were engaged in physical exercises at Emene Enugu last Sunday but the DSS, Nigeria police, Airforce and soldiers from the 82 Div. Nigeria army saw such exercises as threat the Nigeria security. The commissioner of Police Enugu state reiterated such concerns when he queried and forced the five young men arrested to accept that they acquiring martial arts skills so they’d be able to fight Nigeria!!...He kept asking them why they were learning Kung fu. People, isn’t this ridiculous? He even forced some of them to accept that they had ‘odeshi’...an excuse to practice his shooting skills on a fellow human being. How unprofessional can the Nigeria police be??

As much as I despise Nnamdi Kanu’s rhetorics and method, I’d have to concede that IPOB members are being bullied, intimidated unnecessarily and being pushed to the wall.

All over Enugu, people come out in open spaces to exercise, you’d see hundreds or even thousands of people coming out from various places to train and exercise at Achara layout, new haven primary school new haven, Ngwo Park Uwani, Emene and Okpara sq. independence layout not far from Ugwuanyi’s residence. People run, roller stake,stretch while others practice judo and other martial arts. Why would police and military try to intimidate and slap people doing these...because they were armed and feared?

What happened at Emene should not just be condemned by reasonable people, police and the military should be held responsible for the atrocities that they commit in South East states where they feel relaxed to torment, arrest, extort, intimidate and murder people without repercussions.

The atrocities that they commit in Enugu and other south east states wouldn’t happen in any part of Nigeria. This shouldn’t go unpunished.

am not a supporter of ipod or any group, but it's so disheartening that our security agents would always want to disturb and kill this boys for just nothing while the real terrorist and herdsmen carrying guns work freely. sometimes I believe the agitation of this people. you declared them terrorist organization because they demand to set free but rehabilitate a so-called Boko Haram and treats herdsmen with kids glove? it's well

Rugaria:


You were doing well until the above.., why do you guys always allow yourselves to be mentally pummeled into a corner where you have to subtly agree with your traducers? Some of you have unconsciously bought into the mercenary narratives of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway press. They have been trying to frame Kanu a fugitive, latching on his so-called"style" as if their support will be assured if the style is changed..They know they cant find anything wrong with the Biafran aspirations so they waste tons of energy railing and demonizing thee socalled "Kanus method" just to disentangle decent minds from a JUST cause...

What really is soooo wrong with "Nnamdi kanus method and rhetorics"? Peaceful protests? Is that wrong? Or abusing those responsible for the genocide in the east? Those oppressing you are doing so with all sorts of ruthless evil plans.., progroms, ethnic cleansing, genocide, exclusions from the army/custom/police/civil service/federal power.... They do so brazenly, calling you 5% and leaving your roads and economic structures in ruins. But all that bothers you is Kanus method! What method do you want? Uwazuruikes method that was also met with bullets?

It’s my personal opinion sir and I’m not speaking for any other person. First time I watched Nnamdi Kanu was a video of him asking Igbos resident in the US to support him with finances to acquire weapon. If you don’t see nothing wrong with that, that’s you. We can’t all think and reason same way. This is a faceless forum but there are lots of people who would be shocked that he did that. Personally, I have come across very despicable individuals whom you wouldn’t want to associate or even shake their hands and I mean people who would do unimaginable things but you wouldn’t see such people coming on videos doing such. Fulani militants who camouflage as herders wouldn’t do such..showing their faces in camera asking for weapons, boyz at Esut and UNEC wouldn’t do it. You’ll only hear about them when the deed is done...that’s one of the reasons people laugh at IPOB and Kanu. Here on Nairaland, lots of people believe Kanu and IPOB are just ‘wailers’. They see Biafra as an online republic, they celebrate it when Igbos are killed.

Kanu shouldn’t be calling people names, stoking ethnic tensions and insulting people who disagree with him...Nairalanders call Igbos ‘pigs’ or pigsterners...Kanu started that. He has lots of fans but he should learn to listen and take advice.
Those who criticise him today might turn out to be his fanatical supporters tomorrow and I see that happening.

It’s one death too many...Igbos should wake up. There are lots of distractions. Governors, Ekweremadu and co not uniting and speaking with one voice like South west governors and politicians are doing especially about security. Amotekun is a brilliant idea. They stuck to it and wouldn’t be intimidated...Ugwuanyi and co are still flirting with Abuja and the Inspector General of police and being confused with silly awards being given to them.
We all don’t like the activities of herdsmen but apart from the insults from Kanu, he and IPOB have offered and come up with solutions.

At UNTH Ituku Ozalla, Fulanis have taken over the forests, they are all over there, it took the intervention of top staff at the hospital to reduce the crimes and menace that they constitute there. In the right hands and right method, these wouldn’t be happening, it’ll take some sacrifices but it’ll stop.

Lots of people want to contribute but not with what is happening and they way things are being done.

There’s a cartoon of an IPOB/Biafra soldier pointing his weapon backwards and that’s how people see Biafrans/IPOB. That is actually very good because if things are done correctly, the likes of that police commissioner and his friends would down on their knees on video begging for forgiveness.
