Nigeria's security forces are torturing and killing Separatists __/Amnesty intl by EXTompolo: 12:30pm On Aug 05, 2021 |
Amnesty International has accused Nigerian security forces of using excessive forces against separatists in the country’s southeast. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have been campaigning for the independence of the region. The agitations, spearheaded by Nnamdi Kanu, have been met with crackdowns by the Nigerian government. Kanu himself is undergoing a trial for treason in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city. Amnesty International Nigeria said the violent crackdowns have led to the death of at least 200 separatists since June 2021. “The evidence gathered by Amnesty International paints a damning picture of ruthless excessive force by Nigerian security forces in Imo, Anambra and Abia states,” said Osai Ojigho, the group’s Nigeria director. AI group said the security operations launched by the government focus primarily ESN members, relatives of the many victims told the rights group that they were not part of the militant groups who were attacking security agents. Amnesty said it also documented cases of arbitrary arrest, ill-treatment, and torture in the region. It said that in May 2021, the Imo state government announced the arrest of at least 400 people allegedly linked to the violence. “Amnesty International’s investigation indicates that most of them were randomly picked up in their homes and off the street and had nothing to do with ESN.

Facts speak for itself. The Nigerian govt doesn't give a hoot about the Igbo. The heavens would be pleased if the Igbo are just allowed to be on their own, rather than this senseless killings going on in the East. In Orlu, the fear of Hausa- Fulani soldiers is the beginning of wisdom. But this I know, the wrath of God will be an adequate recompense to all behind these killing of hapless Igbo on the day destined by God. At least what's happening to Kyari is a pointer to the reality of God's judgement. |
