I have never seen anybody flying the Nigerian flag unless during a football match...

When did amnesty international becomes the one to be dictating to Nigerian government on how to deal with a terrorist group member.

Government should closes amnesty international office, nobody elected them for anything.

theInterpreter:
We all know that a large chunk of Igbos in Nigeria live outside the SE and they trade and make a whole lot of money from outside. Especially Lagos and Kano. But why is it that the stay at home order is only enforced in the SE?
is this not hypocrisy?
Why can't they stay at home in Lagos?
or Kano?
and see what will happen?
most of the nairaland IPOB live outside the SE yet they support the madness IPOB is doing to innocent poor traders in Igboland
is this not wickedness?
I live in Ogun State, Ota precisely they are many here
they come out and sell
I can't really say about Kano but I'm sure they didn't comply
why can't they stay at home in Lagos but support the madness in the SE?

Monogamy:


Sponsored group? Are they Kanuri, Bororo, Ilaje people or they are same Igbos?

Komu1048:

Zenithh:
Yesterday Ogidi youths were in d news protesting against IPOB activities.

Gradually,,,the pple will soon rise against this group.

Vickyvice:
Even if he was ipob, were they supposed to destroy his property? Moreso, those arrested were customers. Which crime easterners commit to dey treated like this.? Now if the man takes to crime as the police have destroyed his property and business, same police will lock am in prison or do worse.

Kyari IRT probed, cleared me of sponsoring IPOB, says owner of Imo hotel burnt by security agents

A hotelier, Chinonso Uba, has expressed surprise on why his hotel, drink depot and country home, at Okporo and Obor communities in the Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State were set ablaze by security operatives penultimate Sunday.

The hotelier told journalists in Owerri, Imo State, that the Intelligence Response Team of the Inspector General of Police then manned by now suspended Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police arrested him in February and investigated him for six weeks and released him after it was discovered that he had no link with Indigenous People of Biafra.

The hotelier said, “That Sunday, I saw them and I ran away. All of a sudden the security men started burning my hotel and destroying my properties. The hotel has four upstairs. They burnt three of my vehicles and four vehicles belonging to brewery companies that came to delivery goods to me with all the drinks they were carrying.

“They burnt my wife’s shop with all the goods in it. Burnt three motorcycles. They went to my warehouse and burnt the whole drinks and property there. The security operatives proceeded to my country home, burnt my house and equally burnt my father’s house. They also burnt my 2012 highlander jeep parked there.

“The operation is so strange to me because I was in February arrested for a false allegation that I was sponsoring IPOB. I was detained at Imo State command headquarters in Owerri and after which I was transferred to Abuja where I spent another three weeks

“After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that I had no hand in any crime. Abba Kyari granted me bail without collecting a dime from me. I was asked to be reporting at IRT team in Abuja for three weeks which I did before coming back to Imo State to continue with business.

“Since then, I had been running my business on a low key. I stopped making use of any vehicle and even handed over my hotel to my manager to run so as to stay away from trouble. It is on record that since then no police or security agency had asked me to report for any further questioning.

“I was surprised when they came destroying my belongings. I quickly called Abuja and the team that investigated me said that they had no hand in it.”

While debunking the police position that those who attacked Omuma and Njaba police Divisional headquarters took off from the hotel, Uba said that he had lost several millions of naira in the arson.

While giving an update on the Orlu incident on Sunday during a press conference, the state Commissioner of Police, Abutu Yaro, said that the command was hunting for the remaining suspects.
