Security forces gun down 8 in Biafra protest

Nigerian separatists said police killed eight people during renewed violent protests Monday demanding an independent Biafran state in southeastern Nigeria and the release of a detained leader. 
 
Police deny the allegation from leaders of a cause that sparked a civil war in the 1960s in which a million people died.
 
Police shot protesters in southeastern Aba city, after protests erupted in cities in six southern states, Uchenna Madu, leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the State of Biafra, told The Associated Press.
 
But Abia state police spokesman Ezekiel Onyeke said no one was killed and police fired only tear gas and smoke grenades to disperse protesters after some lobbed petrol bombs at security forces. 
 
It was not possible to verify the contradictory claims.
 
Onyeke said police arrested 26 people for possessing weapons including machetes, axes and clubs.
 
Fourteen other protesters and two police officers have been killed and about 200 people detained across the country since the demonstrations started three months ago, according to the separatists and police. 
 
They began after intelligence agents detained the director of banned Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Oct. 17. He was initially accused of criminal conspiracy and hate speech but the charges were escalated to terrorism and financing terrorism.
 
A Federal High Court ordered Kanu's unconditional release on Dec. 17 but President Muhammadu Buhari said two weeks ago that his government would not release Kanu.
 
Monday's protests come six days after the anniversary of the surrender in 1970 of the breakaway state of Biafra following a 32-month-old civil war in which the casualties were mostly Biafrans who starved to death because the military blocked supply routes. 
 
Buhari, a former military dictator in the 1980s, was a brigade major who commanded troops in Biafra during the war in which soldiers were accused of mass atrocities.

U're an iimbeciile and your emotionally driven but logic devoid outburst prooves it. Cuz if you checked my history dating back to 2014, u would have realized I am more Igbo than you poosibly could, and I EVEN support the dissolution of Nigeria.

am I supposed to feel sorry for them?

only a fool burns down his father's house just because he hates the village chief.

Jeopardising the businesses of your brothers by DELIBERATELY trying to turn the East into a volatile zone unfit for investment all because some shortsighted asshhole in UK was captured for his inciting broadcasts.
Nnamdi Kanu the fool was calling on his poor listeners (who are mostly artisans) to pick up arms and go waste their lives, and he had no backup to support them with o. The retardo was probably going to stay there in the UK while the poor boys died.

It's good that he got captured on time and for such a prolonged period so his blind supporters can see him and his IPOB sect for the toothless powerless imbeciilles they are. Lo and behold, the people chanting songs of war and talking about arming the youth for WAR can't even break their schizophrenic hero out of DSS custody.

Now, they're suddenly calling on the Dullaaardinho to "Respect the court orders".
Do you mean the same court orders you respected when you were calling on arming the poor young boys to go waste their lives so you could use them as pawns in your ultimate SELFISH agenda?
Do you mean the court orders based on the constitution of the SAME country you called a zoo?

If your IPOB cult were as powerful as you desperately wanted the gullible young boys to believe, why haven't they raided the DSS building and rescued Kanu?
The same iiidiiots who were calling on combat fortification.
It's good they have been exposed for the baseless NO PLAN HAVING iidiiots they are. Early enough too.

By the way, how many of the IPOB head honchos have even bothered to pay a visit to the families of the gullible younglings who have so far been killed on behalf of the sect's SELFISH agenda?
Cuz I haven't seen any o. All I've seen them do so far is upload the gory pictures of those slain youth on their Facebook profiles in a bid to draw public sympathy and further their agenda.

What a contenptible lot.

Let the gullible ones keep dying on their behalf.

you support the dissolution of nigeria and you want to get it on a platter of gold,keep dreaming.

You feel no pity for your dead brothers whose only crime is street protest demanding the unconditional release of one of their own whose only crime is TRUTH,you even attempt to cover it up with a propaganda that they are turning your village to war zone. The soldiers you are applauding today will bring you unending tears in time to come.
