Eyewitness Account Of How The Nigerian Army Murdered 90 Protesters,may 30th by attackgat: 10:46am On Jun 08, 2016
Inter soceity, a leading human rights group, has uncovered the location of mass graves and shocking details of the genocide committed against Igbos by the Nigerian army under the command of General Muhammadu Buhari on Biafra Remembrance Day, Monday, May 30, 2016.

The 1999 Constitution; which firmly guarantees democratic free speeches and freedoms of peaceful and lawful movement and assembly. Indigenous and self determination rights and their campaigns are also guaranteed by the African Charter on Human & Peoples Rights of AU of 1981 as well as the UN Universal Rights Declaration of 1948 and International Covenants on Civil & Political Rights and the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1976; provided they are nonviolent and outside the purview of armed struggle and where armed struggle is resorted to, it is strictly guided by the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which include the Doctrines of Rules of Engagement, Use of Force and Self Defense.


A Rescued Citizen’s Corroboration: Mr. Henry Ibebuike Enekwe is an electrical engineer and 32 years old. He was declared missing in our Coalition (Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations) public statement of 3rd of June 2016 after his abduction by soldiers of the Onitsha Military Cantonment in the morning of 30th of May 2016 on his way to Enugu, from his Eke-Nkpor base. Engineer Henry was rushing to Enugu to seal a house wiring contract with a Lagos based businessman. Happily, Engineer Henry Enekwe regained his freedom in the evening of Saturday, 4th of June 2016, following our advocacy intervention and a distress call by the Ebonyi State Directorate of DSS to its Anambra State counterpart, which led to his rescue from five days captivity and torture in the hands of his soldiers’ captors.


Rescued Citizen’s Account: Narrating his ordeal in the hands of his captor-soldiers, Engineer Henry Enekwe told Intersociety that he regretted bringing his young son into this country called “Nigeria” where beasts are perpetually in charge of the affairs of Nigerian people. That the greatest shock of his life was his encounter with soldiers on 30th of May 2016 in front of the street leading to St Edmunds Catholic, Nkpor-Agu. He said before his very eyes, three innocent citizens going home from an early morning church service at St Edmunds Catholic were shot and killed by soldiers.

That the soldiers, having arrested him and pushed him into their military truck, corked their guns and pointed them at the worshippers coming from the Church and violently shouted at them, forcing three of them to run for safety out of fear and panic, only for the soldiers to open fire on them, killing them instantly. That the soldiers were of Hausa-Fulani tribe and that they recovered the corpses and dumped them in their van and zoomed off to the Onitsha Military Barracks, in company of himself and others abducted alive. That he sat beside the dead corpses and the soldiers kept mocking them and their tribe.

That when they got to the Barracks, he saw a heap of dead bodies and those who were deadly wounded were dumped on top of dead ones. That the soldiers moved him, alongside others to open cells from where he saw more dead bodies being brought in and dumped. That later in the evening, the corpses were moved in the direction of a certain nursery and primary school inside the Barracks, from where they were never sighted again till the cell guards violently mentioned to them that they had been given mass burial.

That in the early hours of Friday 3rd of June 2016, around 1.30am, soldiers stormed their cells and took away 27 of his fellow captives and six deadly wounded citizens to unknown destinations. That the abducted citizens were never returned to the Barracks till Saturday evening, 4th of June 2016, when he regained his freedom. That while in the captivity of the soldiers of the Onitsha Military Cantonment, himself and others were tortured every morning and soldiers called it “morning tea”; whereby each of them was laid on a bench chair, flogged with “koboko”, with sachet water poured on the parts of their bodies where flogging or torture was being inflicted. That many innocent citizens were still being held in the Barracks amidst torture as at the time he regained his freedom. That torture was a routine and the wounded were left unattended to and that extra judicial killing of some captives including those with terminal gunshot wounds may most likely have taken place.

....The question persists about the authenticity and viability of the Nigerian nation. Personally, my response to this is neither here nor there but what I know is that the present Nigerian project is a sick joke, if these questions remain unanswered, we'll still be asking these questions in another 20 yrs to this time. Intellectuals can theorize until they suck their thumbs right off their hands about how multi-ethnic nations have been able to hold out, and the thieving politicians and their acolytes can sermonize on how young Nigerian democracy still is (at 56?). All they always see is a thousand and one silver linings in the cloud (after they must have stolen the treasury blind and laid the country to eternal waste), and we the taciturn masses can continue to invoke the intercession of the Almighty by holding hands, pray and sing hootenanny songs as we have always done for the past three or more decades but the truth is we have been sickeningly indolent in the struggle to unshackle this country from the grips of these vampires that are willing to run this behemoth aground at whatever cost. Credit to the media, they have stepped up the battle but the people of this country need to move away from mere media rebellion and TV rendezvous talk shows to vent out. Third world politicians have demonstrated how bestial, power or the quest for it, can make someone become. We need to stop ASKING for our rights, apparently their ears are clogged with wax, we should rise up and FIGHT for it.
Unfortunately, the worst affected Nigerian is either being too impoverished to think straight or just too plain dumb to act for the sake of it.
A pity indeed!!

No single civilian resides in that barrack. They were all evicted long ago. Don't underestimate the evil capability of our armed forces. They are Nigerians firstly, then armed without conscience of if know what I mean.
