No less than seven people were killed, and about 30 more injured, most of them critically, when the Nigerian police and military reportedly opened fire dispersing a crowd of the pro-Biafra marchers at Onitsha in Anambra state on Sunday.


What started as a peaceful meeting…

According to some reports from Anambra state, three people were fatally shot dead on the spot and 30 others got bullet wounds when the police and Nigerian navy opened fire to disperse the crowd of the pro-Biafra marchers in Onitsha on Sunday ended with a bloodbath.

Military and policemen opened fire dispersing the crowd.

“How come our security men find it so easy to kill peaceful IPOB members but won’t lift a finger against the deadly Boko Haram? These brothers were peaceful in their engagement, they weren’t radical or causing any harm according to eye witnesses, they weren’t armed, so why shoot at them?” was said in the IPOB statement.

The agitation for the actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has been on for some time now. The Republic of Biafra came about when a secessionist state situated in south-eastern of Nigeria tried to break away from Nigeria but were stopped. Biafra was inhabited mostly by the Igbo people and was in existence from 30th May 1967 to 15th January 1970.

The Movement for the Actualization of State of Biafra (MASSOB) is yet to give up the fight to secede from Nigeria. The group have even established a radio station, called Radio Biafra somewhere in Europe.

IG of Police what do you have to say about this


Revolution is all we need in this Country

Chaii Buhari, na like dis u wan take rule?

I get the feeling that security operatives no longer value the lives of citizens for them to open fire on people to the extent of killing seven.


If people are to be necessarily dispersed, why can't some other method be used- tear gas would have been more effective.

No matter how long it takes, northerners should be made to pay for these crimes.

We should target their people whether they are police or civilian and take revenge appropriately

Navy gave 2 violent ones non lethal shots.
Navy has asked them to snap the bodies of the dead.
