Oganiru Ndigbo To Sue Police Over Fulani Herdsmen Attack by apogeez(m): 4:38pm On Jul 01, 2016 |
An Igbo socio-political and cultural
organization, Igbo Improvement Union
(a.k.a. Oganiru Ndigbo), said it had
directed its lawyers to institute legal
action against the police and the military
for failing to protect the people of Ukpabi
-Nimbo community, Enugu State who
were murdered by Fulani herdsmen.
The group contended that the security
agencies were negligent in their duties by
allowing Fulani herdsmen to murder the
people of the community in cold blood.
The union said this in a communique
issued at the end of its meeting on Friday
in Abuja and signed by its President,
Chief Ugochukwu Agballah,
Secretary, Chief Edozie Njoku and eight
members.
The IIU stated that Nigeria, as presently
constituted, is not working, noting
that far-reaching recommendations of the
2014 National Conference can act as a
stabilising factor.
It called on President Muhammadu Buhari
to, as a matter of urgency, implement the
report of the conference or subject the
recommendations to a referendum.
The communique read, “Igbo
Improvement Union has mandated its
lawyers to initiate legal action against
negligent members of the Nigerian
security forces who failed to protect the
life and property of the people of Ukpabi
-Nimbo Community who were murdered
in cold blood by genocidal Fulani
herdsmen.
“The Union took a dispassionate look at
the instability in the country and reasoned
that the solution to the ongoing separatist
agitations in the country lies in
restructuring.
“The union therefore called on the
government of President Muhammadu
Buhari to, as a matter of priority,
implement the report of the 2014
National Conference or subject the
recommendations to a referendum.”
It noted that restructuring would serve
the cause of a united and progressive
Nigeria as against the separatist agitations
that it said had become the order of the
day in the country.
The Union called for the release of
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra from
detention in line with the judgement of
the courts, stressing that his continued
detention and incarceration is illegal,
inhuman and an act of provocation. Source: www.punchng.com/group-takes-legal-action-police-fulani-herdsmen-attack/ |
