I am unable to get a major reference but it's on NL. Here's one

https://www.nairaland.com/4050153/soldiers-escort-hausas-mosque-aba/8#60415969

But there is no attack here, there may have been fear of attack but there was no attack. IPOB claimed that they were attacked, they backed it up with videos abd pictures. I want evidence that IPOB attacked Northerners.

Ndi bayii ke ije?

What's d meaning of all these incessant foolishness, stupidity and dumbness that have come all over us?

Was this why u were crying us to return from the north and wherever back to SE?

Ask yourselves now, how safe is south East?

You attacked innocent Hausas on the roads and street forgetting that we have our people all over the country.
I wonder how you think, reason, perceive things.

Is this how you will run biafra if given to you?

Reasonable and wise igbos, let's not allow the foolish, dumb, blind and stupid ones, decide our fate.

What nonsense.

Igbos remember there is no unity amongst us and with that alone, u can't fight nothing.

Let's be wise and do things the right way.

Surprise me by not placing curse and insult on this post.

I want people like you who say that Hausas were attacked to provide proof that this happend

I have often said that it is Nigeria that brings violence into a Biafran agitation that has largely been peaceful? Im not saying searching for Hausas on a bus is the best but why is it happening now?

The SE that was a peaceful place, Buhari brought in operation Python dance to raid Kanu and all hell has broken loose since then. God knows how many people have died and those extrer-judicially murdered by the Nigerian Army.

Buhari is just a disaster. Why bring the military into a peaceful zone where they are not required?

I would rather hear all the hate speech in the world than waste human life unnecessarily

Udmaster:
Thank you buhari for bringing the military for operation python dance in south east,
lets put an end to this stupidity by ipob led by that UNN dropout called Nnamdi Kanu,
a restructured Nigeria is the best for Igbos,

Isnt it for Igbos to decide what is best for them? That is why IPOB is calling for a referendum. This restructuring you are talking about, Ojukwu went to Aburi 50 years ago to get it so that there would be no war. The North said no. 50 years later people are still talking about restructuring. Everybody knows that the North will never allow any country they are part of to be restructured. So my question to you is what will you do when the North says no again restructuring? Of course you will go back to shouting ONE NIGERIA.

this senseless agitation for Biafra will attract war and Igbos have no support to face such a thing now,
even the Niger deltans will deny us and start singing ONE NIGERIA when the war start,
they are not in support of any Biafra, stop hoping in False sense of solidarity!

Self determination is a recognised right of which Nigeria is a signatory to both its UN charter and African charter. It is not senseless to the UN or the developed world. If it means war to you, it does not mean war to others. Chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution allows Kanu and IPOB to agitate about anything, be it Biafra or otherwise. So far, IPOB its self has largely been peaceful and only calls for referendum. This talk of war only comes from Nigerians and I will never know why.

ipob is sponsored by pdp to disrupt buhari administration,
Igbos wake up! War is looming
Why will Igbos who are found in every corner of the nation choose breaking away to restructuring?
Now there are crisis here and there, if the north retaliate, do you know how many Igbos that will be killed ?
Why cant Ipob reason with their brain?

If IPOB was sponsored by PDP, why would they be insisting on election boycott in the SE/SS area where PDP is the majority party? Think about it. You are calling for IPOB to use their brain, try to use your own for 5 minutes. When I first started to listen to Radio Biafra, Buhari was not even President and there was no APC. You can keep shouting war like the national anthem but the only people armed and violent in this Biafran agitation is Nigeria. Scottish people are found all over Britain, it didnt stop them agitating to be separate from Britain. That Igbos are all over Nigeria does not take away the Igbo nations right to be independent.

Thank you Buhari for the operation python dance,
please the court should hurry up and give an arrest order on kanu so that the evil pdp agent Kanu will be arrested?
What about our investments all over nigeria, it will be seized all over,and Igbos will start from scratch to built again,
why making things difficult for ourselves?
seccesion is war because this is Africa,
and who are you secceeding with?
Remember the ijaws,ogonis,urhobos,itsekiris,ibibios,efiks etc have warned you guys to count them out of biafra map,
go and start war and watch them dancing ONE NIGERIA
Abum nwa afo Igbo,
a restructure Nigeria, o ga akara anyi nm,ka ria ndufu kanu ne edufu nyi
ndewo nu

People like you are the reason Nigeria and Africa can never progress. You see how developed countries do things, instead of emulating them, you do the opposite. Why should secession mean war in Africa? Did Zik and others have to fight a war with Britain before Nigeria got its independence? Why cant you question why Britain can grant Scotland referendum but Africa is still using war where they should use referendum? Why is it that we never see the Army of other countries unless there is war but your Nigerian Army is out extorting money everywhere and commiting human rights abuses? How can you equate properties and investment to freedom? Dont you know that international law protects investments wherever they might be? This cave man reasoning is terrible. If other tribes are not interested in independence, all well and good, let them continue with Nigeria. What is most important for me as an Igbo man is that the Igbo nation becomes independent and manages its self. There is nothing greater than freedom, it is greater than Gold or money, even life.

So keep congratulating Buhari for using brute military force on unarmed defenceless people but know this, Nigeria is on the wrong track heading nowhere

PDPGuy:
Regardless of the security situation in the state, what the army is doing - the so called Egwu eke - is unconstitutional.

The police hasn't declared that the situation is beyond their control, neither has IPOB launched an armed insurrection against the Nigerian State. So, I see no need for a shoki or python dance by the army.

We just pray that normalcy will return to the great state of Abia.

Python dance is just Buhari's way of intimidating Igbos. But no worries, one day he will learn that nobody can be intimidated into accepting ONE NIGERIA

SATOH:
If you want all this to end, tell your brother in pig and idiot republic to stop killing innocent people also.

Make your agitation peaceful and nobody will have problem with that. If you decide to make it violent, then this is just tip of the iceberg.

Can you provide any evidence that IPOB has killed anyone besides mere internet rumour? Which anybody can write

At least IPOB are backing up their claim of Military brutality and killings with videos and pictures

Show any evidence that IPOB killed anyone.

Also, why is it that thousands of IPOB will gather and hold huge rallies but we here of no violence, but as soon as the Military is involved, we start hearing about violence?

Buhari us a disasterous leader but Im hapoy about this because I dont believe in Nigeria

I believe in the independence of us Igbos and I have no doubt that we will do much better outside Nigeria than inside it.

Only a blind man cant see that Nigeria will never work.

The Nigerian Army can carry on killing our people because we have not yet taken up arms but on thing is certain, Nigeria will one day come to an end and we Igbos can breathe freedom again

Nigerians and their celebration of their failed country

Throwback:
Let the Igbo democratic and constitutionally recognised leadership ask for referendum and let it be debated as to the legality and suitability of it and agreed to by the Nigerian political leadership.

Not some bunch of deplorables who have been preaching hate, insulting other tribes and threatening anarchy if they are not attended to, as though the government ought to regard every mad man who has access to mass media to radicalize idle minds.

So the Igbo democratically elected assembly should ask for a referendum abd a mere 1914 colonial contraption called Nigeria will debate its suitability? Then what?

A motion is moved at the national assembly which is sure to be defeated by other zones.

Absolute waste of time.

What should debated is why a colonial fraud called Nigeria should be telling the Igbo nation what its country should be

The video is just another piece of glaring evidence why we Igbos should keep up the peaceful agitation to exit burning house of Lugard known as Nigeria

Despite all the attempts by the Nigerian Army to provoke IPOB into taking up arms through their intimidation and killings, I urge our people to be non violent but resolute.

A people who want to be free shall eventually be free

Nnamdi Kanu Gave Me a Reason to Say This: Thank You, President Buhari
BY AKINTUNDE ADEYEMO—Monday, September 11, 2017 (11: 26a.m).
You can't send police officers to quench a quasi-military camp, which is maintained by Nnamdi Kanu, who has aggressively vowed to tear apart a sovereign nation, Nigeria.
Kanu made a serious mistake by parading a ragtag army; especially when you have a former General as the president, that was disrespectful.
I lived in Nigeria for more than two (2) decades, Nigerian soldiers don't like to be disrespected; in fact, from working with soldiers in the United States (Michigan National Guard, Joint Forces Headquarters), I can tell you that, generally, soldiers don't like to be disrespected.
If someone, a civilian for that matter, maintains and parades militants (wearing a military uniform), he should not expect the government to roll in with police officers and patrol vans; he should reasonably expect army tanks.
Pursuant to the 1949 Geneva Conventions Article 3, your status changes once you start wearing an army uniform, for you become an enemy combatant: A recognized army (the Nigerian Army, in this case) can use force to neutralize you and your fellow militants.
Let’s gaze into history here: When the 1791 "Whiskey Rebellion" happened in the United States, spearheaded by some civilians, President George Washington did not send in police officers, he brought in military tanks to quench the rebellion.
In the United States, when violence escalates, a governor, pursuant to Title 32 of the United States Code, can summon the army and their tanks to the street (didn’t you watch CNN at the height of the “Black Lives Matter movement;” didn’t you see numerous armoured personnel carrier (APC) on the street)?
Let's stop pretentiously invoking the violation of the rule of law, especially if you don't understand the rule of law and the rule of engagement.
A military incursion, or rolling of tanks, into a street, in order to clear the illusion of outlaws, like Nnamdi and his cohorts, is not a violation of the rule of law, but an enforcement of the rule of law.
If Kanu is scared of a small deployment of soldiers, will he chicken out when battalions are deployed? To his supporters, we told you this: secession is not won on Facebook. Continue arguing about the violation of the rule. Listen, when hostility begins, the rule of law is suspended or amended. I hope we won't get there. Start listening.
Please, feel free to share

Lets analyse this. You said that Nnamdi Kanu is keeping a quasi-Army? I take it you mean the BSS? You said that people should not wear Military dressing because that means they can be regarded as enemy combatant. What this meabs is that all those who wear different designs of camo in developed countries such as America and in Europe should be harrased for doing so?

Now where did BSS wear military clothing? Is the black dress they wear military cloths? Is it the berets they wear? I went to a primary School where boys wore berets, was I an enemy combatant?

Before this operation Python dance, how many times have you heard that IPOB were violent? The Kanu you are talking about, dudnt he openly say wants a referendum? Has he taken up arms abd killed anyone like Boko Haram, Herdsmen and cult groups out there?

So what exatly did Kanu do? His case is in court, he has not run away, the SE was a peaceful place until this Python thing.

You are talking but cannot make any point except support violence of your armed forces when non is needed.

akthedream:
THIS is why we have been telling you guys to say no to war... You Ipob miscreants won't just listen

All they have called fir is referendum. It is you Nigerians who keep talking about war like it is the new national anthem.

If tbis video is true, and it looks like it is, then the Nigerian is a bigger disgrace than I thought.

To treat people like tnis simply because you wear a uniform and carry a gun is cowardly

Someone sent me this video which appears to show the Nigerian Soldiers beating IPOB members, making them swim in dirty water and some looking like they had already been killed.

Right here on this thread, someobe has uploaded puctures I saw last year in the crime section claiming it is IPOB that killed the man

Fake news everywhere

[quote author=NafeesaAA post=60430381][/quote]I saw this picture last year on the crime section. I dont remember the full story but the guy was a notorious criminal somewhere in the North. He was captured by a vigilante group but a mob dragged out of the bus and killed him!

This happend in the North!

I want proof that IPOB atracked Northers because we all know the fake News that has been written about IPOB in the past

The funny tbing is thst some people believe that an unarmed IPOB attacked a police station with armed police. Yet we have no pictures

TonyeBarcanista:
Only insane country will wait for there to be damage before curbing it. There is something called "nipping to the bud before it escalates". Yes, you have right to wear uniform and berets but you have NO RIGHT to declare yourself a security organisation...

The nipping in the bud must be done according to the law and the law does not permit criminal action based on assumption. A crime myst be commited first.
Even just me can declare myself to be the security organiser of Nigeria. What I declare my self or what BSS declare thenselves is not what is important as they have a right to free speech same as me. What matters is the action they take.

All vigilante groups are supervised, including Neighborhood watchdog. In fact, it is known that if they arrest they take culprits to the Police... But would BSS, a criminal organization do such? Again, they can't operate in illegality

That is the bias I am talking about. Can you point to one act of criminality by BSS? You are here asking if BSS will take those they arrest to the police l, showing you have already criminalised them even before they have even arrested anyone. Terrible

It is clear that you are ignorant of the law. Disrupting of political activities is criminal. Such act could lead to free for all and break down of law and order. In fact, you can't go to a rally to do counter protest because it Is a public place... It is CRIMINAL!!!

AND the PPA Aspirant was attacked by IPOB even inside his place of worship (from his testimony). That Is criminal

Can you quote what section of the Nigerian constitution that makes a counter protest in a public place criminal?

The church where the PPA campaigned is a public place and he was not attacked, he was booed and shouted down. Unless you think booing is also a criminal act

[
These can't justify the act of terror on innocent Northerner by ipob members and that girl and her colleagues.

Prove that Northerners were attacked rather than hearsay

TonyeBarcanista:
By @TonyeBarcanista



I have been silent on the issue of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB for a while now but I think it is time to break the silence. Let me for the emphasis state that I am a full fledged apostle of the expression of the right of people to self-determination, but the agitation itself has some unwritten rules that must be maintained. The provocative actions of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his followers should no longer be taken for granted. Below are some of my reasons:

1. ESTABLISHMENT OF BSS IS AN AFFRONT TO THE STATE
The establishment of Biafra Security Service by Nnamdi Kanu, an outfit that is not regulated by any government organ (like in the case of local vigilante and private security outfit) is an affront to the State. A BSS that reports to NO ONE but a single individual, who report to no one but himself, is an affront to the federal republic. Some argued that they are armless, but do we have to wait for them terrorising civilians?

Yes you have to wait. That is the rule of law. You have to wait for the law to be broken before you claim the law is being broken. The law does not operate on assumptions, it operates on actions

We have to be proactive in this country. We can't wait until they start bearing arms to terrorise and perpetrate evil before we act. The establishment of the outfit itself is an illegality

How can it be illegal to give some people berets and call them whatever name? So if I buy ten berets and give my Ten friends and we salute and call our ourselves whatever name, we are breaking the law? Come on man you should be more objective than that. Where have BSS broken the law? Or is wearing berets and saluting each other now a crime? You cannot criminalise a group just because you have a feeling that they may turn violent.

Security Agencies are either created by the Constitution or Act of Parliament and are supervised and regulated by federal or state government (as the case may be). I read that BSS claim their are to fight against herdsmen in the Southeast, my question is under what authority? Wher will they take a suspect to upon arrest? Will it be in their own detention facilities or that of Kanu? Will they issue punishment without trial considering that they have no legal backing to prosecute suspects? How can the government sit and watch a group operating illegal and parallel security outfit?

It is not illegal to set up a security outfit and you do not need an act of parliament. There are diferent vigilante outfits all over Nigeria even in my area. They did not need any act of parliament. Neigbourhood watchdogs dont need any law because they have already been empowered by their consitutional right to protect property and life. It is for you to wait and see if BSS go beyond their contitutional rights to self preservation.

2. OBSTRUCTION OF POLITICAL CAMPAIGN AND INCITE IS CRIMINAL
Nigeria Constitution, African Charter, United Nations Declarations and other international treaties guarantee "RIGHT/FREEDOM to conscience, hold opinion and association". These rights/freedoms are not subject to negotiation; preventing an individual or group from exercising his or hers is considered a criminal offence.

We have seen videos of IPOB members preventing and obstructing some politicians that are not aligned with their struggle from exercising their legitimate right to freely campaign and solicit for votes in the forthcoming election in Anambra state. They did it to state Governor Willie Obiano and another politician under PPA, which is undemocratic and criminal. As much as they have their right to their agitation, their right ends when it infringes on that of another citizen.

What about the inciting words of Nnamdi Kanu calling his supporters to "resist" any attempt to arrest him for breaking his own bail condition.

Stop lying. I have watched the same videos you watched and at no time were they preventing anyone from campaigning and neither did they touch anybody. All IPOB did was campaign in the same public area that Obiano and the PPA aspirant did. Under the law, they are allowed to do that. It would have been a different thing if Obiano was campaigning in a private venue and IPOB went there, even that can be called disruption and not prevention.

3. ATTACK ON CIVILIANS IN OYIGBO IS TERRORISM:
I was informed by an associate that there was attack on people of Northern extraction by IPOB loyalists yesterday in Oyigbo area of Rivers state but not Portharcourt or other areas of the state. Such incident has cancelled the sentiment of IPOB Youths and their apologists that they are nonviolent. It shows that their nonviolent gimmick is simply rhetoric to shore up sympathy. There is no justification to attack civilians even in time of war (it is considered a war crime). Perhaps some of the cheerleaders on social media are ignorant of the consequence of that singular action but ignorance is no excuse to the law.

IPOB has been in exitence for a long time with no report of attacking anyone until this recent operation Python dance and the heavyhanded methods of the Nigerian Army. Now you say that IPOB attacked Northerners, what I actually heard was that Northern Soldiers with the aid of Northerners, attacked IPOB who were about to leave to see Kanu in Umuahia. As everyone knows, IPOB have been killed severally in the Portharcourt area. So who is telling the truth? Where are pictures of the attacked Northerners or their damaged properties? Where is proof of this attack abd more importantly, how do we know it is IPOB? A group that is well known for non violence doesnt become violent for no reason.

THE GOVERNMENT MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY
There is a thin line between a freedom fighting group and a terrorist organisation. Secessionists in Europe like the Catalonia people don't engage attack on innocent citizens that doesn't share their ideology. Any secessionist group that attacks other non conforming citizens within their territory is no longer a freedom fighting group but a terrorist organisation. The Catalans fighting for independence don't engage in terrorising individuals and groups that are pro-Spain unity. The people of Scotland didn't attack the English people during the period of agitation for secession. Even in 1966 when Isaac Adaka Boro led his group to secede Ijaw nation from Nigeria and at the peak of the attack from government troops on his group, it was never heard nor written that civilians (irrespective of their sentiment) were attacked. Only terrorist organisations like Boko Haram and ISIS would attack real and perceived sympathisers of those they consider their "oppressors"/rivals.

It is time for the government to act and bring troublemakers to justice. Government must act to curb the excesses of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB group. They have the right to their agitation but they don't have the right to display insanity. I am always for justice irrespective whose ox is gored. I spoke against the attack on Igbos in Bayelsa, condemned the October 1st Ultimatum given to Igbo in the north and condemned the counter ultimatum issued by a group of faceless clowns that called themselves Niger Delta Agitators on Yorubas/North, I can't afford to keep silent this time. Nobody is bigger than the law.

Those that believe that the Southeast should have their Biafra should do so within the confines of the law and international standard, anything beyond that is call for trouble.

They have the right to boycott elections (just like MASSOB has been doing since 2003) but they have no right to obstruct campaign and political activities, they have no right to issue threats to prospective voters nor stop voting process. They have the right to be angry against the government and the military but they have NO RIGHT to pour their frustration on people of Northern extraction or any other citizen irrespective of sentiment. They have the right not to recognize Nigeria Police and any other security outfit but they have no right to establish their military/police wing (and still claiming armless). Nigeria belongs to all of us, we all have right to be angry over the sad situation of our country, but we have the duty to properly channel our grievances without inflicting injury on people.

We don't have to wait for reprisals before we do what is appropriate, government must act now.




May God Bless Us All And Bless Nigeria

Before you call IPOB a violent organisation, back it up with proof, not word of mouth. IPOB doesnt get up and start being violent. In Umuahia, they were shot at which made them pelt officers (the video is youtube). In Aba they were shot at, the video is also available. What did the Army do in Obigbo to make a group that was about to go to Umuahia violent?

As for the Anambra election, IPOB is going for boycott, how can IPOB that is staying at home on election day be disrupting election?


You made not one single point except display your bias for IPOB

chumakk:
Is that we can't afford rubber bullet or we don't value life of our citizens?

Since when did they ever value life?

Nigeria is the only place I have seen where people are shot, they leave the people doing the shooting and blame somebody else

Shekau shoots someone, GEJ is to blame

The Nigerian Army shoots unarmed IPOB, Kanu is to blame

Herdsmen kill a farmer, the farmer is to blame for coming to the farm

Igbos get slaughtered in the North, Igbos in the East are to blame

Police shoots into an unarmed crowd and kills a protester, the protester is to blame for coming out to protest


This sort of upside down way of reasoning is horrible

Only a fool thinks it is possible to have peace in a country built on "unity by force"

ITbomb:
Take a second look at this



If Nigeria Electoral laws provide for independent candidate, IPOB should push a candidate for the Anambra elections, participate, monitor the election and results. They have the numbers, so they can win and when they win, they use political powers to further their agenda with all apparatus of government

IPOB is not interested in the politics of Nigeria, political power is not what IPOB cares about, IPOB already has something far more important. The support of the people

Chascop:
One man causing chaos and tension in a Country..


In as much as I'm not enthusiastic about this Biafra saga, i think the FG of Naija should just take it easy and allow Biafra go

One man cannot cause chaos in a country. Your country was already a messed up chaotic place long before that one man came along.

profolaolu:
There wouldn't be unrest suppose the army just came and ipob members never attack them

The Nigerian Army even attacked Journalists in the press centre in Umuahia with no provocation

That should tell you if thee Army was actually conducting its self in a proper manner

dmighty:
Boko Haram set North East as the war battleground, as such Nigeria Army has to face them there, and the people suffering it most are the North Easterners. Wherever you set the battleground will know the consequence of war.

Nnamdi Kanu declared Biafra Secret Service, boasted a few days ago of capacity to wipe out Nigeria Army...Nnamdi Kanu is setting the battleground in your place and you all from South East were MUTE abi?

Don't worry, Python will dance in the South East, you can stay online and abuse all of us....That won't change OWAMBE party in the South West...Sebi una wan see how war look like, enjoy your Biafra as you face Nigeria Army...Always remember, war has no rule than to finish your opponent WHICHEVER WAY. So don't come and tell us stories of mass burial!

Nigerians and war all the time. Nigwria is yet to recover from the war the caused by killing Boko Haram leader Yusuf, they are looking for another one with IPOB and Kanu

Temidayo9:
To every action there is equal and opposite reaction, that's wat is happening now. Peace is precious.

And in which situation have you seen the Nigerian Army out in force an there is peace? The Army are not trained for peace, that is why they should not be deployed to where peace already exists

The one thing I always ask these people who keep trumpeting "they are sarcrificing their lives for Kanu"

Who is doing the shooting? Are the security agencies supposed to be shooting unarmed people? Is that their job?

These hypocrites leave the ones that are pulling the trigger and blame Kanu who has never held a gun


How is is that Nigerians have been brainwashed into believing that anyone in uniform is licensed to kill?

Who cares who the next president is? He will still fail like all others before him.

No fraudulent union ever works, no matter who the leader is

bilms:
The need for peace cannot be over emphasized. All those who succeeded in their agitation across the world only did, because of their decency and peacefulness. The world saw that though they are agitating for a cause, but they did it decently within the confine of the international standard. The same cannot be said of the agitation in the South East. I appeal that we shouldn't allow Nigeria become a 21st century Rwanda, which only offers 16% of its dead population a slogan, never again.

Abdulrazaq O Hamzat is the Executive Director of Foundation for Peace Professionals.
