International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law says the Nigerian Army lied over its claim that the commander of Eastern Security Network was arrested.

The group made this known in a press statement on Wednesday titled, ‘How Nigerian Army disrupted Christmas Eve church services and movements at Egudene-Nkanu, killed two and arrested a 40-year-old mason and labelled him ‘ESN Commander’”.

The Nigerian Army had on December 26 said its troops arrested one Godwin Nnamdi, a suspected leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Eastern Security Network.

Army spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu, who confirmed the arrest in a statement, said the “notorious leader” was nabbed in Nkanu East LGA of Enugu during a clearance operation in the area.

But the rights group said the army “cooked up the statement to cover backlash and outcries arising from its murderous operation of the night of December 24-25, 2021 at the Egudene-Ekpofu; a third murderous operation and invasion in the row since the start of 2021”.

The group said, “By a detailed investigation carried out by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law and contrary to the Nigerian Army claims, the so-called “ESN Commander”, identified by the Army as “Godwin Nnamdi”, is a 40-year-old mason and struggling father of two children. His true name is Citizen Godwin Nnaji (not Godwin Nnamdi). His other identities are: He is a 40-year-old born in 1981 and hails from Umuode Ega Kindred of Egudene in Ajame Amaeze Autonomous Community, Ekpofu in Nkanu East, Enugu State.

“He is unarmed and never used offensive violence. He is a mason by occupation who struggles to feed himself, his wife, and two children. Abducted and falsely labelled Citizen Godwin Nnaji is married to Mrs. Blessing Nnaji (nee Nnaji) from Ogonogo-Eji Ndiagu Akpugo Autonomous Community in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.

“He was abducted from his rest and sleep following his sick-rest arising from work-related stress and pains. He had taken some pain relief tablets and was sleeping when soldiers stormed his family house at about 12:21 am on Christmas Eve/early morning of 25th December 2021 and abducted him. Present in the family’s dwelling house during his abduction was his mother, Madam Theresa Nnaji and two of his siblings, including his blind younger brother, Onyema Nnaji, who was also rough-handled and assaulted.

“Citizen Godwin Nnaji was fallaciously labelled “ESN Commander” because a bangle with ‘rising sun’ insignia was found on him. The soldiers later took him alongside other abductees to the 82 Division Headquarters in Enugu through Inyaba River into Oruku town and drove to their 82 Division Headquarters through Emene.

“After his abduction, Citizen Godwin Nnaji was bundled alongside others to Onokolo Market Square in the Community where he was mercilessly beaten and stripped half-naked. He has been located to be detained at the ‘Galaxy Detention Camp’ of the 82 Division in Enugu and one of his younger brothers who went to see him was denied access by the lady Army officer in charge who said she was under superior instructions not to allow him to be visited or seen by anybody.

“Therefore, the claims by the Nigerian Army highlighted above are circumstantially fallacious and a trademark of the Nigerian security forces particularly, the Nigerian Army with which they have framed, abducted, and killed hundreds of defenceless and unarmed citizens of the South-East and South-South Nigeria especially between October 2020 and December 2021.”

He is probably a member, or do ipobians have registered identification cards? If they did, specimens would have already flooded Oluwole Lagos Island.

They will be shouting ipob in the shadows of social media when law enforcement eventually grabs them in real life, then they will deny even ever hearing of ipob.

My happiness is that, as my brother "Scientists" said, "When bandits come to cum, you better give them Blo.wjob or they will poor acid into them northern ladies "

You harass people here down SE while over there in the north, Bandits are giving ur sisters, mother's and daughter hot Doggy .

Una mumu never do

IPOB claimed that Uche Mefor who was Kanu’s former deputy was being paid a Salary Of £4000 a month before he left

They have become innocenti sharp sharp.

nice revelation. not surprised

That's why state police needs to be set up immediately. Governors needs to be in charge of securing the state 100%. Who born soldier or Fulani herdsmen to kill people in any state when they know they will be arrested and dealt with. The soldiers are doing all these because they know they are doing what the federal terrorist government asked them to do.

If Nigerian leaders wants to really tackle security issues of Fulani herdsmen and police/soldier brutality, then the governors must make sure that they control security in their States 100% so that any police or soldier who wants to take any action in the state must do that only through the authorities of the state security body under the governor and not the federal government.

State police is the solution to all these wreckless killings and herdsmen menace.

However, Referendum is the best solution... let's have our own country Biafra

That's the module operandi in Nigeria.

Abduct innocent citizen, tag them criminals and torture them to accept whatever you want them to accept.

That's what our security operatives do down here

This scenario can happen to ANYBODY!

Let them continue with the genocide,one thing is certain,every one of us will die someday

Many Nigerians still dont understand, or do not know, that the constitution does not give the Nigerian Army the right to go to anyone's house to make arrest.

The reason for this is that the Nigerian Army is not an "investigating body", in other words, the Nigerian Army has no constitutional mandate to investigate anyone, like the Police and DSS can, and therefore cannot go to arrest a person

The only time the Nigerian Army can arrest a person is if that person is committing a crime in their presence.

And after arresting that person, they have no right to detain that person indefinitely. Their duty is to handover the suspect to the Police

The Nigerian Army is not a crime fighting outfit, that is not their training or what they are supposed to do

So Im shocked that this Army spokesman called Brigadier Onyema Nwachukwu, does not even know that every time he says that the Nigerian Army went somewhere to effect an arrest, the Nigerian Army is committing a crime. The Nigerian Army can aid the police to effect an an arrest but cannot take the suspect to their barracks for detention, its the job of the Police to detain

What many of the fools who support this sort of impunity and illegality of the Nigerian Army dont know is that if it is encouraged, nothing stops any Soldier from going to anyones house, tag the person IPOB, then kill, illegally detain or torture the person

Nigeria is the land of impunity and lawlessness

This is a norm in the east now ooh. Infact when passing a check point am always scared before does military ppl tag me waytin I no be...

Anyway, to avoid all this stuff, don't keep late night, be cautious of what you say in public and moreover delete anything that would implicate you in your mobile device

Ok

Old way of killing a dog

This is the result of making tribalism a federal policy.

Now every random Igbo person is "IPOB" and brutalised.

My friend he is not innocent, he is an original Ipob member, you Igbo people why are you harboring and pampering terrorists and criminals? Why can't you learn from Yoruba people?

God punish all our armed forces Amen
