Demands for probe of execution of pro-Biafrans
By Patrick Egwu, Enugu
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it has discovered more corpses of persons allegedly killed by troops during last September’s controversial military campaign in the South East tagged- ‘Operation Python Dance II’.

IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful who made the revelation in a press statement also called for an independent probe of the activities of the Nigerian military during the bloody crackdown on pro-Biafran group and activities last year.

The statements read in parts: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) commend our intelligence unit over the horrific discovery of yet more dead bodies of slain Biafrans in Obiawom village of Ogwe Autonomous Community in Asa Ukwa West local government area of Abia state. This gruesome find will once again drive home the horrors of Operation Python Dance and why all those that participated in its instigation and execution such as Ohaneze Ndigbo, South East governors and selected Igbo elders and politicians must not go unpunished.

“If anything, this cold blood­ed execution and unceremoni­ous dumping of dead bodies in the forest by Fulani soldiers in Obiawom village in Ukwa West under the control of Abia State governor Okezie Ikpeazu is ample justification for the recent decision of IPOB to dis­engage from any further talks with Ohaneze Ndigbo and South East governors until all issues surrounding the geno­cidal Operation Python Dance is cleared up”.

The statement further said the world is silent because the atrocity is committed against Biafrans, adding that swift re­actions and probing by world leaders would have commenced if the victims were from a Mus­lim country.

“Had these number of mur­der victims been discovered in any Muslim country, region or part of the world, the Interna­tional Criminal Court (ICC), United Nations, Britain, USA and world media will be up in arms demanding explanation and holding the perpetrators accountable. Because these events are happening to Bi­afrans in Nigeria; where an Is­lamic government, along with her security operatives staffed by Fulani officers are aiding and protecting Hausa Fulani herdsmen and their kinsmen in the army from the consequenc­es of the worst form of ethnical­ly motivated genocide present­ly in Africa, the world remains deaf to the cries of IPOB. The site of these decomposed bod­ies should be designated as an international crime scene and promptly investigated.

“Should the United Na­tions, ICC, USA and European Union fail to act on this grue­some discovery of mass grave of Biafrans in Ukwa Ngwa Abia state, we would conclude that there exists a credible bias and conspiracy to exter­minate and Islamise Biafra by the pro-Islamic international community.”
Powerful called on the inter­national community and hu­man rights group to demand for an investigative panel of enqui­ry into the atrocities committed against members of the group and the release of remaining victims of the bloody military operation.

“As we draw near to the anni­versary of the murderous inva­sion of Afaraukwu on the 14th of September 2017, we once again call on Igbo governors, the global Christian communi­ty, Amnesty International, Hu­man Rights Watch and other reputable and relevant human rights organizations around the world, to prevail upon the International Criminal Court,
the Nigeria Government and her security operatives to re­lease the remaining dead bod­ies of Biafrans in their custody since last year. An internation­al panel of enquiry must be con­stituted as a matter of urgency to investigate the atrocities of this Buhari regime against in­nocent populations in Nigeria and Biafra in particular,” the statement read.
