Lol, you said YOURSELF - action speaks louder than voice. One million and one reasons to show you that we're not like you, we can write all we want and still follow up with actions as we do, unlike some of you (eg one person his name starts with GB) who writes long epistles and can't even make a difference in the real world. Look, WE ARE DIFFERENT. It will serve you well to flee with your tail in between your leg

you don't even know me. I am an igbo and a strong fighter of igbo success and freedom. But this particular thread.... Mba!

SMH

Weird bit is, you are actually one of the few Ibos I respect on here....So I wont diss you.

You guys should just stop whining and just get on with life! end off.

Diss me? Brother, respect is highly reciprocal. Your actions (though uninvited) are uncalled for. You call it whining? You're very ridiculous. We should STOP whining when unjust murder is committed at your doorstep? You need help. If it happened elsewhere, other parts of the country, you'll support the whining, smh. Don't worry, I've bookmarked you and your comment, you better keep your stand like you're doing now.

Antivirus92: you don't even know me. I am an igbo and a strong fighter of igbo success and freedom. But this particular thread.... Mba!

Nwoke'm, i si na i bu onye Igbo? Ifele o na emekwa gi? Chai, tufia...Onye melu ife a, oga dili ya mma. Obulu na i gulu ife nine anyi deputalu, and you call it ranting, of all other words, the most subtle you could use was ranting, then I really pity you. Chinike bi n'igwe melu ebele, maka nwanne'm, i fuola uzo, YOU'RE LOST.

ALL THESE RANTING WILL NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!

You call yourself a strong fighter of success and freedom, nwanne, what exactly have you done? Kowalu anyi, ka anyi ghota kwanu ife imegolu? I bu freedom fighter na onu, ka obu freedom fighter n'obi.. Which one na?


The reason why I pity you is because you're on a road and have no clue where you are heading, the thought of you saying you're Igbo and you call it all ranting is very shameful. I'm a believer in justice regardless of my belief in whatever entity, when Igbos are killed far and wide, even people in general, it's highly uncalled for.

Believe me,enyem ohere ime ihe dim n'obi na naijiria a nagoru n'iyi. M ga-eme ndi arakuba ajo ihe. Ona ewutem karia onye obuna ihe na-eme okasi n'ebe anyi bu ndi east no. Mana ibe akwa na-agaghari ebe nine etua unu si eme kam agara eme.

One cannot help but notice how the Nigerian Police force charged with maintaining law and order abandoned the ongoing Civil war between the Fulani and the Tivs in Nassarawa and Benue states and are busy wasting the lives of unarmed and innocent young men in the South East , sometimes i actually wonder if Nigeria needs a police force and if they need one what role should they play in the Society .No reasonable society will fold their hands and watch unarmed innocent tax payers being wasted by a corrupt and incompetent police force whose only goal is to extort money from motorist and commercial sex workers ecking out their living

I am very much benumbed by the inaction of the human rights activist and other NGOs collecting huge pay checks from foreign donors yet do not live up to their billing.
What role does the human rights watch and National Human Rights Commission apart do apart from collecting pay checks at the end of the month joining NLC and co to fight over subsidy removals.

jackbauersballs:

None of my family members is agitating to split up the country.

If they do, then away with them.

In the mean time, stop whining and get with the programme...

SMH I feel sorry for you. I hope you receive everything you wish on this thread brought onto you.

manny4life:

Though I wouldn't call his family, his family are innocent to his ignorant behavior, but for him SUPPORTED

Whoever LIVES by the SWORD, surely will DIE by same SWORD. If he thinks such murders are appropriate, same measure will be visited upon him.

You're right. His family shouldn't have been brought up.

If those Apo guys are and Ezu Rivers are Igbos, the issues should left to Igbos to resolve. They should stop ranting and disturbing the rest of Nigerians.

OsunOriginal: If those Apo guys are and Ezu Rivers are Igbos, the issues should left to Igbos to resolve. They should stop ranting and disturbing the rest of Nigerians.

If igbos are left to resolve it it would lead to another Bloody cconfrontation with the police with dire consequences , the last time they were left to handle the killing of their kinsmen in the north during Obasanjo's tenure we all know how it ended with Obasanjo blowing hot and cold and Northerners scampering back to their homes a revolt against the police in the east would be far more brutal than the childs play called Boko Haram

Well i made comment on the larry koldsweat thread and reminded people that KKF once said for Odumegwu Emeka Ojukwu, he wish he was Igbo and I got banned for saying that, maybe the Yoruba mods would be happy if had hurled insults on the man.


@Topic, the anambra state police commisioner a HAUSA/FULANI/BOKO-HARAMER who goes by the name Malam Bala Nasarawa and those he is carrying out their agenda against Igbos in nigeria must know that they can run but they can never hide,whether or not they get the usual and shameful protection by their nigerian system that always encourages and shields them after every atrosity against ndigbo, one thing is certain we will never forgive them, and one way or the other they must pay for all for all their crimes when they least expected,including those few sell out Igbos working with or for them.

WE ARE TAKING AND KEEPING RECORD.

bandb:

@Oga AlexO we can not advocate the disbandment of MASSOB at this time. Their modus operandi has to change. As per relevance,MASSOB and bakasi boys are more relevant now than ever before. You See, Up north they are using BH as a violent tool for power . In the SW , the OPC is transmutting into a political party via UPN.

We are going into a make or mar political transition which requires that we have our own form of stare/scare personality.

is it possible you can stop banding OPC in the same category as you did here when you listed regional terrorists?

Thanks to Ezeigbo Nairaland and the council members for condemning the extrajudicial killing of Igbo youths in Nigeria. The situation has even gotten to the extent that the killings are now carried out in our own backyard.

My opinion on this particular discussion, especially the case of the Ezu River-50, is that Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State should tell us what happened to those young men. In as much I admire his simplicity and governance style, the SHOOT AT SIGHT order he gave the wicked Nigerian(Hausa) army during his first year as the governor of Anambra state , anchored on the belief that he wants to stop the illegal activities of the NURTW( Motor park touts ), cant easily be over looked. Hundreds of Igbo/Anambra youths were shot and killed like animals by the Nigerian army acting on the orders of the governor elected to protect them. This particular action of Obi shows that he might also know something about the Ezu River-50. He might have given the police (SARS) the go ahead order to kill all suspected kidnappers.

Life is nolonger sacred,"56" able men/women were killed,strangled(one of the "apo 6" a lady were strangled by an officer to hide the truth),shot at a close range and some might even be pushed to a moving vehicle to aviod wasting their limited bullets__(shedd tears),yet,this is happening in our own soil not in the Northern side of the country where it is normal practise to massacer Igbo people without mercy...still we have our own men/women in that security outfit that perpetreated such dastardly acts.
Talk about animals that eat their kind

Now who will bail the cat?,is it our leaders who suppose to be our defenders and our fortress,who we are looking up to for defence are now turning their back and ordering a shot-at-sight for his people...not only Peter Obi that are found wanting but all the five Eastern states govs are not playing their card very well.
I have never heard of such extral judicial killings being carried out to other ethinic groups in nigeria except EASTERNERS.

We need help frm GOD.

Thanks for your effort.

One again begin to wonder what was going on in the mind of the Police Officers and men, as they line up these fifty defenseless people before killing them in cold blood.

What other such mass murder can be going on in other police formation as we speak!

[size=16pt]Anambra Killing Fields: How Victims Were Suffocated To Death By Nigeria Police SARS[/size]

03/11/13

*Ezu River Corpses: How Victims Were Suffocated To Death By Nigeria Police SARS

By Intersociety-Nigeria (Society Review Part 3)

(Onitsha-Nigeria, 11th day of March, 2013)-The leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law can confirm to the world that most, if not all of those found floating on Ezu River of Death on 19th day of January, 2013, died from suffocation. It is recalled that we had in the part two of our explosive report on Ezu River of Death dated 4th day of Match, 2013, stated clearly that the methods used by Anambra SARS in killing those found in Ezu River were methods not restricted to gun-shots. That is to say that they might have been killed through other means, which include clubbing, lethal strings, strangulation, macheting, poisoning, rubber/tube tying, etc (including suffocation). Our further findings after part one and two of our report clearly indicate that most, if not all of them were killed through manually traceless means-called mass suffocation. This clearly explains why the Anambra State Police Command, having gotten briefing from its SARS leadership on how it killed the victims being referenced, hastily told the world that no gunshot wounds or bullets were found on any of the corpses.

Our Credible Findings:

A member of one of the armed community vigilante groups belonging to one of the communities that share common boundaries with the Awkuzu SARS headquarters in Awkuzu Community, Oyi LGA in Anambra State, Southeast Nigeria, was arrested by the Awkuzu SARS sometime in early January 2013, and detained for two weeks for armed robbery. The freed vigilante operative told an under-cover investigator on condition of anonymity and face to face chat, that he was contracted by a trader to recover some debts owed him by another trader. He led other armed vigilante operatives to the debt recovery operation during which the debtor was beaten up and injured. The injured debtor reported him to Awkuzu SARS through the help of the debtor’s friend who is a SARS operative. The freed vigilante operative told the under-cover investigator that he regained his freedom through the intervention of his community’s chief security officer and the president general. He told the investigator that at Awkuzu SARS, detention cells are serially numbered from 1, 2, 3, and 4 and so on. Those in cell 4 and above are condemned detainees waiting for extra judicial executions and that extra judicial execution of detainees is almost on daily basis. He revealed that there are several torturous ways Awkuzu SARS operatives kill their detainees extra judicially and those who cannot afford huge illegal bail sums ranging from N50, 000 to N200, 000 or more as case may be, are among those being executed extra judicially.

On that fateful day, according to the freed vigilante, detainees from Awkuzu SARS dead or condemned cells, numbering dozens were brought out in a broad daylight, chained and handcuffed; made to lie face down on an open field within the SARS premises and under scotching sun and heat. All the assembled detainees were covered with thick tarpaulin under the watchful eyes of their killers and made to stay under it for hours during which they suffocated and died. Their evacuation and dumping into the Ezu River of Death, according to a prominent resident of Amansea, who monitored the dumping, was done three times within the period-Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That is to say that they were evacuated from SARS killing field and dumped into the Ezu River of Death on 14th, 16th and 18th day of January, 2013. This expressly strengthens the print and electronic media accounts that some of the corpses were in varying state of decomposition when they were discovered. The prominent resident also clarified that the blood stains found on the surface of the Amansea Old Enugu Road Bridge were those of one of the bodies discovered to be alive by Police SARS and possibly detainees who were ordered to evacuate the murdered bodies. To erase any traces, they were shot severally and confirmed dead before they were thrown into the dead river from the top of the Bridge in the late night/early hours of January 18/19, 2013.Some residents of the area confirmed the blood stains on top of the left side of the old bridge during one of our field team’s visits to the area on Sunday, March 10, 2013. Their dumping possibly took place between 12:00am and 3:00am, considered to be the hours of the dead.

Before the shocking discovery of dozens of murdered corpses in Ezu River of Death, some residents of the areas said that dumping of murdered corpses by the Anambra State Command has been a routine. Corpses dumped from the Old Bridge into Ezu River are converged by the River at Onaluokwe circle of the river in Amaowelle Village, Amansea, where they are either eaten by big fishes or decomposed and decayed. Onaluokwe literally means a circle where the River receives objects and accommodates or accepts same. Reasons for dumping the extra judicially murdered corpses into the river in recent times, according to our findings, are due to several alarms raised by host communities on whose lands such murdered bodies were shallowly buried and liquidated with acid substances. Part of the reasons is also because of the procurement of some of such parcels of land by private citizens. For instance, the Onitsha Old Cemetery management has forbidden the Anambra Police SARS from dumping their extra judicially murdered bodies in the cemetery. The Nawfia by Ezugu-Agidi stream has been sealed off by the affected communities owing to the menace of littering the area with police-murdered corpses. Extra judicially murdered corpses are dumped inside the stream’s gully and liquidated with raw acid substances. The Agu-Awka dumping site, located near the Awka MOPOL 29 barracks, controlled by Ntoko Community, near Awka, has also been sealed owing to concerns expressed by the host community over indiscriminate dumping of extra judicially murdered bodies by Anambra Police SARS.

A female student of the Igbariam Campus of the Anambra State University also confirmed that extra judicial killing of detainees by the Awkuzu Police SARS is a routine. She revealed that Otuocha River (Omambala River) is another river where those extra judicially murdered by SARS are routinely dumped. Their dumping hours, according to her, are from 9:00pm and above, and their route is usually the Awkuzu Junction-Otuocha Road. This reinforces the recent discovery of about three or four murdered corpses in the River reportedly by media and the NSCDC. Some residents of Amansea and Awkuzu communities, who spoke to Intersociety, confirmed the atrocious acts under reference. A resident of Amansea community said that the murdered dead bodies are introduced by SARS to officers and men of the Nigeria Police Mobile Force, who mount permanent road block less than 100 meters away from the Old Enugu Road Bridge as wasted products. According to some residents of Akwuzu, spoken to by Intersociety, there are more than seven methods of torture and killing used in killing the SARS detainees extra judicially. Some of them are killing by suffocation through the use of thick tarpaulin and compacted and unventilated cells; killing by gun-shots; killing by machetes; killing by strangulation; killing by clubbing with planks or metal objects; killing by lethal strings; killing by infliction of grievous bodily torture; killing by circle-tying the detainee’s toes to waist and finger to shoulder regions, resulting in instant death; and killing by chaining the detainee’s legs and hands together and hanging him or her upside down on a ceiling hook to die. As a torture strategy, detainees are routinely brought out from cells, shot on their legs and fingers and sent back to their cells without treatments, which lead to their untimely death as a result of decaying wounds. They are killed and disposed off if they become nuisance to SARS detention cells and environment. It is also a routine in Awkuzu SARS to order some detainees to evacuate the extra judicially murdered bodies, after which they are shot and killed to erase traces. Female detainees are treated inhumanly in their cells. A female student told Intersociety that she was detained for two weeks without being allowed to have a shower not even a single day. Awkuzu SARS cells are a clear replica of the German Concentration Camp.

Our Team’s Visit To The Crime Scenes:

Our visits covered the old and new road sides of the Ezu River of Death, the sites of the boreholes of controversy sunk by Governor Peter Obi and Senator Chris Ngige. The Ngige borehole is located after the police road block, while the Obi borehole, which has started running, is located along Nitel Road, all in Amansea. We also visited the River’s dumping points as well as former SARS dumping sites at Onitsha Old Cemetery, Agu-Awka and Nawfia Stream by Enugu-Agidi Junction on Onitsha-Enugu Dual Carriage Way. We spoke to some residents of Amansea and Awkuzu Communities including male and female students of UNIZIK and ANSU. At Amansea, we were told that as the villagers were discovering dozens of murdered corpses at the old and new sides of the two Enugu Roads, there were dozens of more murdered bodies floating on the Onaluokwe circle of the River. Some of the villagers told Intersociety that Onaluokwe circle is where the Ezu River of Death enlarges, which can only be accessed via canoe boats peddled by the Ijaws. They also alleged that some boat peddlers were hired and paid by police during the horrible saga to remove and shallowly bury those corpses floating on the River’s Onaluokwe circle to remove them from outsiders’ viewing.

Also, according to them, dumping extra judicially murdered corpses into the River mostly comes from the Anambra State Police Command and sometimes from Ugwuoba Community in Enugu State. Corpses emanating from Ugwuoba are usually insignificant in number (not more than three) at a time and they are usually alleged thieves caught by its local armed vigilante. To them, number of corpses found on January 19, 2013, was alarmingly higher than what they usually saw and that the reason why those corpses floated and refused to be pushed away by the River was because of drastic reduction in water currents owing to dry season. The number of corpses found on that fateful day, according to them, is 50 and far above when added to those floating on the River’s Onaluokwe circle same day. This confirms a disclosure by another university female student that a top operative of SARS had in December2012 at a liquor joint, complained that their cells as at then, contained over 100 detainees and that before the end of January 2013, half of them will be cleared(killed extra judicially). Dating female students of ANSU is a routine among SARS operatives.

Finally, we wish to state again that the leadership of Nigeria’s Intersociety has no scores to settle with the Nigeria Police Force as a public organization, but we have a series of scores to settle with ethnic cleansers, beasts and cannibals it employs and pays through Nigeria’s collective wealth to murder and torture with reckless abandon Nigeria’s innocent citizens particularly the young Igbo sons who are at their prime age of productivity. We suspect seriously that a policy of ethnic cleansing has perfectly been designed to exterminate the Igbo productive population in Nigeria. The level of hatred and hate policing activities being visited against the Igbo race in Nigeria is taking an alarming dimension day in day out. The race is incontestably an endangered species in Nigeria today. MASSOB organization, for instance, is not different from the O’ Odua People’s Congress in Southwest Nigeria, but while the group enjoys maximum freedoms and police protection, innocent MASSOB members and Igbo law-abiding traders are hunted on daily basis and slaughtered with impunity. It has been factually established that out of every five police officers from the northern Nigeria, four would kill any Igbo man extra judicially if they have an opportunity; out of every five police officers from the Southwest Nigeria, four would do same; whereas out of every five police officers from Southeast Nigeria, one would kill a northerner or a south westerner outside the law, if he or she has an opportunity. The ratio ethnic hatred in Nigeria between Hausa/ Yoruba and Igbo is 90/20. That is to say that 90% of the former hate the Igbos, while only 20% of the latter hate the former.

In all honesty, this is the ONLY issue that every Nigerian (Igbo mainly) should have a laser focus on. Not any 2015 elections or daily arguments on Nairaland.
We should start to FOCUS on things that are relevant to us.

I hereby declare all DAILY verbal exchanges between Igbo and Yoruba totally asinine and irrelevant.

At a stage, MEN should be able to rise above the prosaic and apply the mind to that which is greater than self.

Anytime a poor man is killed by the police with impunity, EVERY NIGERIAN is in danger. Mark my words.

The most annoying part of this Police escapade is their boldness in confronting anyone who dares pronounce his/her right.

The Police will boldly say " I will waste you and raise an allegation against you".

There is now a culture of impunity in the Police Force that needs to be checked.

If we bring this discussion as a predominant topic in the public domain, we will be able to force the law makers to act in order to put a check to this animalistic behaviour prevalent with our Law Enforcement Agencies.

The face of a cursed beast. He will receive judgment for his bestiality. God no dey sleep

Great idea, but there is something more we can do.
Since we are in a civilian govt, I think it is time we start to sit at home in elections. Let them make up the numbers as usual, but at least none of them would boldly claim to have our mandate to kill our people with impunity.

I bet you, if we threaten to sit at home for 2015 elections, and mobilize intensively for it, JUST WATCH AND SEE ACTION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVT.
The police is a federal govt agency. In fact they and other federal agencies are the only armed agencies in Nigeria.
The states don't have any armed agency.
So, we have to ask account from relevant places.

WHO KILLED OUR PEOPLE AND DUMPED THEM IN EZU RIVER?

Have they been tried and hanged according to Nigerian law?

These are the two questions we must seek answers for.

Was this not the same thing Odumchi was harangued for? His reluctance to join the Ibo vs yoruba fights which you usually revel in

So now you are doing a 360 to follow the Odumchi model

Which responsible Eze would be fighting Yoruba and Oil soup everyday when your people are getting killed daily in real life

@Dayo,
Can't you see the harmony in Igbos camp these days, less in-fighting and better focus in discussing and proffering solution to our common destiny.

We are looking forward to contributing to the land of our ancestors in our little capacity.

Let's go back to the topic.

Thank you.

Thats the way things should be, Thats the way progress would be made not making enemies where there are none and fighting unnecesary e-war

Ngwakwe, Maybe you need to be the next Eze And I would deploy all Adedibus + Chris Ubas rigging machinery to make sure you win

As long as I get 50% of security votes

Very sad. Watched this story on Ben TV not too long ago of a a guy(Ugo)killed shortly after his wedding by the Police in Lagos.
