The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned that another ‘Ojukwu’ will go to war if former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, whom it described as an illustrious Igbo son, is prosecuted as being clamoured by the Amnesty

International.
Amnesty International had on Wednesday, called on President Muhammadu Buhari and the International Criminal Court in the Hague, Netherlands to investigate some former and serving Nigerian service chiefs for war crimes.

The crimes, according to AI were perpetrated during the fight against Boko Haram in the North-East between March 2011 and 2014.

It said in a comprehensive report, entitled, “Stars on their shoulders, blood on their hands: War crimes committed by the Nigerian military,” that no fewer than 8,000 persons were “murdered, starved, suffocated and tortured to death “in the North-East during the period.
AI in the report said that it had “compelling evidence” for the investigation of the former and serving Service Chiefs as well as “mid-level and senior-level military commanders.”

But in a swift response, National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro , described the report and AI’s call for Ihejirika’s trial as “utter rubbish”.

He accused some Northern elements of trying to use the international body to revenge on Southern military top brass, who staked their lives in defense of the territorial integrity of Nigeria.

Isiguzoro said “the last insult Ndigbo can take from those who think they are the owners of Nigeria is to allow them touch Gen. Ihejirika, who served his father land meritoriously”.
He said “what Ihejirika and other military personnel who staked their lives fighting Boko Haram deserve is commendation and not politically- motivated prosecution”.

His words: “Where was amnesty international when Boko Haram fighters were annihilating Christians in Northern Nigeria? Where was Amnesty International when Boko Haram was throwing bombs inside churches, mosques, markets, motor parks, etc and killing innocent Nigerians?

What efforts have amnesty international made to bring sponsors of Boko Haram to book? Or will they claim they did not hear when some people threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable should ex- President Goodluck Jonathan win the 2011 presidential election”.
Ohanaeze accused Amnesty International of “bias, hypocrisy and playing double standards”, and warned President Buhari to disregard its report “if he wants to lead a united Nigeria”.

“Buhari should choose between leading a united Nigeria and supervising the fragmentation of Nigeria”, Ohanaeze fumed.

Ohanaeze further said: “They killed Igbo first General, Aguiyi Ironsi and nothing happened but this time around any attempt to touch another Igbo General will be vigorously resisted with our last drop of blood.

“Why did Amnesty International close its eyes and seal its lips when youth corps members from the South were being killed in the North after the 2011 presidential election result was announced? Why did amnesty international not call for the prosecution of those who supervised the genocide against Ndigbo before, during and after the civil war?”

Ohanaeze said apart from over 1 million Igbo killed during the war, Boko Haram and religious clashes had claimed over 200, 000 Igbos resident in the North with property worth over N2 trillion destroyed.

“Why is Amnesty International turning a blind eye to the systematic genocide against Igbos in the North and the gradual annihilation of Middle Belt communities by Fulani cattle rearers?

“That power has returned to the North does not mean that other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria will become slaves. Nobody should use amnesty international to intimidate any body unless they have agreed that we are tired of this forced union called Nigeria”, he said.

He further said: “We cannot become beggars because Jonathan lost election, and we have no regrets making our choices in the last election. South East and South South are integral parts of Nigeria and cannot be treated as slaves”.

The Ohanaeze leader also warned General Theophilus Danjuma (retd.), and noble laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka against their “serial anti-Igbo comments”, saying that “we have been carefully studying these unwarranted attacks and will take a position very soon”.

Ohanaeze “said no amount of jealously can stop Ndigbo from succeeding even in deserts because of our Jewish gene which our enemies cannot suppress”.

am ready

Chicken hearts!

Nothing Will Happen.
And that is the truth.

Like really!!! I am from the North and still regard Ihejirika an effective military commander. But if the AI say he has something to answer then all he needs to do is answer them and counter the said allegations. If I accuse you of stealing and you know that you were no party to it then its on you as well as the accuser to proof your point.A I claims to have evidence. The the former COAS staff should be able to counter the accusation with evidence to its not witch hunting. The stance of this tribal group is rather unfortunate. If today the army is questioned over its actions, then as a professional entity it should be able to answer its name any where as a disciplined machine. I mean should we be comparing our army standards to the likes of BH,marauding herdsmen or a civil war in the sixties?
We are all equal in our rights to be treated fairly. The retired general can come clean of the allegations if truly like the group claims he is innocent. It doesn't cause anything. All the noise by the Igbo group is pointless and an unnecessary misguided response.I would have being bothered if he was the only person mentioned or he was not allowed to defend himself. At the moment the names mentioned include persons from across the nation.

We would love it.

I missed the last one because I wasn't even born, but I will like to see this one.

The noise is a proper one.

Igbos and Christians have been slaughtered countless times in the northern part of the country n yet amnesty international has never said anything about it. They should mind their business n if they really want to work, let dem go n prosecute countless war crimes committed by U.S n Allies.

These Igbo groups are damn irritating! The same fellas whose threat was ignored by the Oba of Lagos and same empty chest-beating gangsters who were humbled by Lagosians. This ethnic stock is the most guilty of celebrating criminals and condoning criminality. Ojukwu was a loser as such they should raise a fresh warlord and grow the balls to execute their threat. Enough of the hot air already! They should bring it on

And another ojukwu would lose.

Story for the gods and how did the war end?

infact when ojuku was runing away he decided to deceive colonel effiong that he wanted to go and reenforce, main reason is that he wanted fg troope to divert attention from ibo land and destroy calabar. That is why till to day they hate and call calabar mumu, because the man gently surrender
