Afaraukwu Massacre Aftermath: Urgent Need For A Judicial Panel Of Inquiry by OreMI22: 11:11pm On Sep 30, 2017
Following the Nigerian army invasion of the Afaraukwu, Umuahia home of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which resulted in the deaths of more than 50 persons including Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents. It is time to institute a judicial panel of inquiry to identify why this invasion was necessary, who ordered it, how many people were actually killed in that compound and the fate of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents.

In a sane society, killing or unarmed people constitute a crime. Even in war, killing of surrendered soldiers or civilian non-combatants amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

September 14, 2017, is a day that will live in infamy in the long struggle of Nigerians against impunity and summary execution by security forces. I am not implying here that those benchmarks on the conduct of professional soldiering have been breached by Nigerian army. However, in the interest of Nigerians, and for continued peaceful co-existence of Nigerians, a judicial panel of inquiry to reveal the remote and immediate circumstances that led to full scale storming of Nnamdi Kanu's home by Nigerian troops and his current whereabouts dead or alive.

Judicial inquiry will only be useful if it is conducted by an independent body.

The specialized profession of nigeria army today is telling shameful lies. If the army have any role whatsoever in the inquiry they will just tell you it was Cameroonian troops that did the massacre. Even if everyone is laughing at their lie, they dont care. That is the depth of decay pervading the army today.

Why do you think they want to pull out of the ICC, ICJ and HRWC?

Why do you think they want to pass the NGO bill that will see to the banning and expulsion of Amnesty Int'l from Nigeria?

There is no justice left and even the souls of the dead that cry out have began to muffle since in death they know, no justice can be sought in this world for them.

Our Judiciary are in cage and fear to do their work properly since the Executive sent troops to their house to arrest them. They are no longer independent in their affairs

I agree our government are filled with comic liars who would want to make a mockery of this process. Actually, the Judiciary is furious with the introduction of dictatorship and the open contempt of the judicial process by this administration. Of course they will try to use another corrupt Judge to scuttle the entire process.

That is why an independent panel of inquiry is the only way a credible report can come out of the investigation.

Naturally, if Nigeria had been a civilised country, there would be a judicial enquirey when there is allegation of unlawful killings leveled against the military.

But Nigeria is far from a civilised country

Nigerians are civilized but ruled by illiterate brutes that believe they can kill a movement through killing people.

Sadly, they will realize they are mistaken after slaughtering so many and still unable to kill the movement.

That's why you need an inquiry!

In a civilized clime, the average citizen will protest when such lawlessness is visited on any member of the society, no, not in Nigeria, because it's not me, it's not my people, it's not my tribe, it's not my religion.
We forget that by doing nothing, we only ensure that the same thing will be visited upon us tomorrow.

The Federal Government had no answer to Kanu or IPOB. They tried jailing Kanu, it made him more popular. They tried the courts, they had no case.

They tried scare tactics, it did not deter IPOB

So the Federal Government played its only hand by illegally deploying the Military to commit exter-Judicial murder and human rights abuse, most of which were captured on video and picture. In a desperate attempt to cover up its crimes, the Federal Government rushed to court to get an order declaring IPOB a terrorist group.

But all this is just delay tactics which will get the Federal Govt nowhere.

Already, ADF(AlaIgbo Development Forum) has gone to the high court to declare Operation Python dance illegal

IPOB has also gone to court court to remove the terrorist tag placed on them

ECOWAS court is also listening to Kanu's human rights abuse case.

If all these cases are won, the Federal Government will be in an almighty mess
