ABUJA—THE absence of the
Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB; Movement for the
Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, and the authorities of
the Nigerian Army, yesterday,
stalled the public hearing on the
murder of unarmed youths
suspected to be members of
IPOB during the pro-Biafra
commemoration of events in
Onitsha, Anambra State.
This is as the burial of the late Lt.
Col. Abu Ali, who was recently
ambushed and killed by Boko
Haram insurgents alongside four
other soldiers, also made the
House Committee on Army
postpone hearings on the killing
in Ogoniland.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives,
Yakubu Dogara, has stated that
the hearing was meant to allow
for greater interrogation and
analysis of the issues and
clarification of matters so that
the House would be able to take
further legislative action.
Dogara, who was represented by
the Deputy Chief Whip, Pally
Iriase, said: “Legislative public or
investigative hearings are not
intended to witch-hunt anyone.
They are essentially meant to
bring out the truth, the facts
beyond the posturing and
propaganda.”
Recall that the House had in a
resolution mandated its
Committees on Human Rights,
National Security and Intelligence
to investigate the alleged killing
of protesting members of IPOB
and MASSOB by security
personnel.
At the commencement of the
investigative hearing yesterday,
Chairman, House Committee on
Army, Rep Rimamande Shawulu,
announced that IPOB and
MASSOB had informed the
Committee that the letter inviting
them to the public hearing got to
them late and pleaded that they
should be given one week’s
notice.
