Amnesty International has slammed the Federal Government and the security agencies for failing to investigate the recurring killings by the South-East regional security outfit, Ebubeagu.

This was contained in a statement by its spokesperson, Isa Sanusi, on Tuesday.

AI was reacting to the alleged killing of seven youths by Ebubeagu in Imo State on Sunday.

The human rights group faulted the FG for attributing the killings to members of the Indigenous People of Biafra rather than carrying out proper investigations.

It added that it has documented several cases of extrajudicial executions by law enforcement officers and members of the Ebubeagu security outfit responding to the violence in the South-East.

The Director, Amnesty International Nigeria, Osai Ojigho, stated, “It is horrifying that unarmed young men who clearly posed no threat to anyone were gunned down, in utter disdain for the right to life. Such killings cannot be justified under any circumstances whatsoever.

“Nigerian authorities must end these unlawful killings. Authorities must promptly, thoroughly, and transparently investigate the killings and bring to justice, in fair trials, anyone suspected of criminal responsibility.

“Authorities must also ensure access to justice and effective remedies for victims and their families.

“At least seven friends including two siblings were allegedly extrajudicially executed by members of the Ebubeagu state security outfit at Awomamma community in Oru East Local Government of Imo State on 17 July 2022.

“Instead of launching proper investigations into these killings, security and government officials are often quick to claim victims of extrajudicial executions were caught up in shoot-outs or simply label them members of the Eastern Security Network, the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra or unknown gunmen.

“International law requires Nigerian government to promptly investigate unlawful killings with a view to bringing perpetrators to justice.”

If you have any evidence IPOB killed any harmless civilian or stopped anybody from going to work present it or take it to Amnesty, i'm sure they will react to it.

Don’t mind them. Buhari should have left them killing each other. Unknown gunmen have been imposing rules on them and killing their fellow tribesmen like chicken for reasons known to them.

Hope Uzodimma has only few days to go, Mark my word, he will not go free with all these atrocities he committed in imo state , the guy incharge of DSS will run away when time comes, they will not escape , even the karmic justice will not spare them

IPOB and ESN created the environment for such Killing to happen

Amnesty international was fast asleep when Heavily Pregnant Harira and her 4 Innocent Children were shot dead by IPOB on a Street in Anambra in broad daylight till today Amnesty international has said nothing about it

Even when their attention was called to the atrocities of IPOB in the SE they were still snoring
till today People in the SE are attacked and murdered just for going out on Monday

Why has Amnesty just decided to wake up now?


Amnesty international is playing Politics with Human Rights

Terrible

This was a clear case of extrajudicial killing by the DSS
