| Politics › Schools, Offices, Roads Deserted In South-east Over Biafra Remembrance Day by attackgat(op): 6:35pm On May 30, 2025 |
Economic and social activities across South-East Nigeria were brought to a standstill on Friday as residents observed the sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to commemorate this year’s Biafra Remembrance Day. Major cities, including Enugu, the capital of Enugu State; Onitsha, the business hub of Anambra State; Awka, the capital of Anambra State; Aba and Umuahia in Abia State; Owerri, the capital of Imo State; and Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State, experienced widespread shutdowns. Markets, banks, schools, offices, and public transportation services remained closed, with streets largely deserted. Some residents said they opted to stay indoors out of solidarity and respect for those who died during the Nigerian Civil War, while some said they are indoors for fear of attacks and harm by possible enforcers of the order. Biafra Remembrance Day, observed annually on May 30, is a solemn occasion for many in the South-East to honour the estimated one to three million people, mostly of Igbo descent, who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). The war followed the declaration of the Republic of Biafra by the late Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, a move that was opposed by Nigeria’s federal government under the regime of former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon, leading to a brutal three-year conflict marked by heavy casualties, starvation, and displacement. IPOB, a separatist group founded in 2012 by Nnamdi Kanu, has consistently called for the secession of the South-East and parts of the South-South to form an independent state of Biafra. The group declared May 30 a "sacred" day of remembrance and has, in recent years, enforced sit-at-home directives with varying degrees of compliance and disruption. This year's compliance was near total in many areas, with residents locking up their businesses and avoiding travel, despite warnings and threats by police and other security agencies in the region against implementation of the order. In Umuahia, the capital of Abia State, the streets were empty as residents stayed indoors in total compliance with the sit-at-home order. The roads were deserted with no significant commercial and private vehicular movement except for occasional movements of tricycles and a few vehicles. Also, shops on the streets, markets, motor parks, banks, and private and public schools were shut. In Owerri, markets, schools and offices were shut as residents of the state stayed indoors in compliance with the sit-at-home order. In Anambra, SaharaReporters observed compliance with the order in Onitsha, while Awka, the state capital, experienced partial compliance, with a few businesses opening. However, major markets like the Eke Awka market were partially closed, with no reasonable activities taking place. Ever-busy areas like Temporary Site (Tem Site) where major transportation companies are located, as well as banks and other businesses, were reportedly near empty with a few movements. “I can tell you there is 100% compliance in Onitsha here,” a resident told SaharaReporters on the phone. “In fact, I have not gone out since morning. Everywhere is locked down. No business activities are going on.” Some Awka residents told SaharaReporters on the phone that they had not gone since morning, saying that despite the warning by security agencies, the majority of the residents voluntarily chose to stay indoors in honour of those killed during the Civil War. One Mr. Emmanuel said, “I have not gone out, not just because of the sit-at-home order but because it is necessary for us to honour our fallen heroes who paid the supreme price during the civil war. “People voluntarily stay at home because it is the right thing to do on a day like this. It is just a matter of one day.” Another resident who preferred to be identified as Obata said, “Even some of our people in the police force, army and the rest, they are also feeling what we are feeling. They are only obeying their commanders’ order, if not, they would also join us to observe the sit-at-home order. “Forget what the police said. If things become messy, many of them will not stand. They are human beings too, and they also love their lives. Just that for now, we have not heard of any violence or attack anywhere in the state or in other states.” In Enugu and Ebonyi states, SaharaReporters gathered that residents partially observed the sit-at-home order, with minimal movements. A few businesses opened with little or no customers. “It is partially observed in Enugu here,” a resident told SaharaReporters on the phone. “There are some movements within Enugu metropolis, but there is no movement on the highways. Unlike every other day, before we wake up, heavy-duty trucks from the North passing through Ebonyi State would fill the highways, but since morning, I have not seen any of them pass.” The resident added that schools in the Enugu metropolis and rural communities were shut, noting that most times, once schools in the city are shut, those in rural communities automatically join in the shutdown. Asked about markets, banks and offices, he said, “Well, you know those areas like Ogbete Market are major areas. The market is open, but how many people are there?” The source noted that Ogbete Market is essentially open because the state government consistently shows special interest and attention to the market. A resident of Abakaliki, Chimdi said, “In some major places like the International Market and motor parks, nothing is really happening. Those places are more or less empty. Just a few movements. “Basically, the compliance is not total, but people are observing the sit-at-home order because nobody knows what would really happen if people fully come out.” Generally, it was gathered that security agencies in most states increased patrols to prevent violence; however, no significant incidents have been reported as of press time. In a statement released earlier in the week, IPOB described the sit-at-home as a peaceful way to commemorate fallen heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price for the region's survival. The group, however, warned of consequences for anyone attempting to sabotage the order. This is despite the fact that government authorities had previously advised against complying with IPOB’s directive, warning that IPOB activities are illegal. Civil society organisations and human rights groups have repeatedly called on the government to adopt more inclusive approaches to addressing the grievances of the South-East and to engage in dialogue rather than relying on force. Friday’s total shutdown marks yet another chapter in the ongoing tension between separatist movements and the Nigerian state, as the memory of the Biafran conflict continues to shape political and cultural identities in the region. https://saharareporters.com/2025/05/30/schools-offices-roads-deserted-south-east-nigeria-over-ipobs-biafra-remembrance-day-sit |

| Politics › Boko Haram Seizing Military Weapons Worth Trillions – Rep Gadgi by attackgat(op): 5:56pm On May 13, 2025 |
Honourable Yusuf Adamu Gadgi, a member of the House of Representatives, has claimed that Boko Haram insurgents have seized military assets worth trillions of Naira during attacks on military bases across Nigeria’s North-East region. Gadgi made the statement while contributing to a motion moved by Honourable Ahmed Satomi from Borno State. The motion addressed the recent fire outbreak at a military arms depot in Giwa Barracks, Maiduguri, and the increasing attacks by Boko Haram in Borno and Yobe states. Gadgi claimed that the scale of destruction being inflicted by insurgents on military equipment is unprecedented. He warned that failure to take swift and decisive action could have dire consequences. He said: "I was shocked by what Boko Haram did at Giwa Barracks and other military facilities. There’s a serious threat to the security and safety of Nigerians, and even to the country itself." Gadgi pointed out that the National Assembly had allocated significant funds for the purchase of over 40 combat vehicles and other weapons for the military, amounting to trillions of naira, to ensure the protection of citizens. "How can we guarantee the safety of the people under such conditions, when insurgents can seize these weapons?" he asked. "The National Assembly is doing its best to address security matters, but government agencies must also take responsibility. The President must launch an investigation into the conduct of top military commanders and other security agencies, and take appropriate action. "We must also summon these agencies to explain why they are failing in their duties." The lawmaker cautioned that continued negligence from the government and its security apparatus would erode public trust—posing a major threat to political leadership and national stability. "If action is not taken quickly, Nigerians may be forced to defend themselves, and they could begin to see us, their leaders, as enemies—just like they see Boko Haram," he warned. https://m.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/5/boko-haram-seizing-military-weapons-worth-trillions-rep-gadgi-2.html |

| Politics › IPOB Slams CDS Musa- 'Canada Denied You Visa, But Recognise Us' by attackgat(op): 6:10am On Apr 28, 2025 |
In a statement signed by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, and released on April 25, 2025, the group declared that even Canada which denied Musa visa recently, recognised the IPOB family. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a scathing statement condemning Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, accusing him and the Nigerian Army of attempting to intimidate Biafrans and suppress their rights to free speech and self-determination. In a statement signed by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, and released on April 25, 2025, the group declared that even Canada which denied Musa visa recently, recognised the IPOB family. IPOB said, "The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the resolute leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, unequivocally condemns the brazen and provocative statements by Christopher Musa, Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, who has once again resorted to threatening and intimidating Biafrans for exercising their inalienable rights to free speech and self-determination through social media. "Musa’s reckless call for Southeasterners to cease propagating IPOB’s activities is not only an affront to our fundamental freedoms but a desperate attempt to silence the awakening of Biafran consciousness. We will not be cowed, and we will not be silenced." The statement went further to criticise the Nigerian Army’s human rights record. "Musa’s Nigerian Army, an institution soaked in the blood of innocent Igbo youths, has no moral standing to lecture Biafrans on what is good for us. This is the same army that has orchestrated relentless massacres of our people since 1966, from the pogroms that claimed over 5 million Igbo lives to the ongoing genocidal campaigns in Biafraland." IPOB referenced several incidents, including the 2016 Nkpor and Aba killings, and the invasion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s residence during Operation Python Dance, stating: "We ask Musa: What was the crime of the Biafran youths slaughtered at Nkpor in 2016, a massacre acknowledged by Amnesty International and UN Special Rapporteurs as constituting crimes against humanity? What was the offence of the Igbo youths mowed down at National High School, Aba, or those killed during the Trump solidarity rally in Port Harcourt? What justified the murderous invasion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s residence during Operation Python Dance, where 28 innocent Biafrans, including Kanu’s parents, were killed in cold blood by your forces, orchestrated by your Fulani overlords?" The statement also criticised traditional rulers in the Southeast who hosted General Musa. "Musa, your audacity to spew gibberish on Biafran soil is enabled only by the cowardice of lily-livered traditional rulers who grant you audience to desecrate our land with your presence. Such traditional rulers are unfit to lead and must face the consequences of their betrayal. We hold them in contempt for entertaining an agent of oppression whose hands drip with the blood of our people." IPOB which further defended its social media activism, added, "Let us remind Musa of the undeniable truth: It was IPOB’s social media activism that halted the Fulani RUGA settlement scheme in your own Kaduna village, preserving your people’s right to their ancestral lands. It was IPOB, under Nnamdi Kanu’s leadership, that stopped the Waterways Bill designed to enslave indigenous populations to Fulani hegemony. Instead of gratitude for IPOB’s tireless efforts to protect indigenous peoples across Nigeria from supporter of APC domination, you parade your ignorance, vilifying the very movement that safeguarded your community from perpetual bondage. Shame on you, Musa, for your blindness and ingratitude." The group dismissed the label of being an unlawful organisation, "Your reference to IPOB as 'unlawful' is laughable. No nation in the world, except your Fulani-controlled Nigeria, has proscribed IPOB. Even Canada, which rejected your visa application, hosts one of the largest and most vibrant IPOB families globally. Your Fulani masters proscribed IPOB not because we are a threat to peace but because we stand as an unyielding bulwark against their agenda to subjugate Biafrans and other indigenous peoples. You are too myopic to see that IPOB’s activism protects even the likes of you from the very forces you serve." IPOB called for increased activism among its members. It said, "We call on all Biafrans to intensify our social media campaign to enlighten our people that Biafran freedom is not just a dream but the ultimate goal of every Southeasterner. Let Musa and his ilk know that IPOB remains undeterred, unbroken, and uncompromising in our pursuit of self-determination. The Nigerian Army’s history of atrocities—from the 1966 pogroms to Operation Python Dance—only strengthens our resolve to break free from this oppressive entity." Finally, IPOB issued a warning to traditional rulers and the Nigerian Army, "To the traditional rulers who entertain agents of genocide like Musa, we say: Your time is up. The Biafran people will hold you accountable for betraying our collective struggle. To Musa and the Nigerian Army, we declare: Your intimidation will not bend us. Your massacres will not break us. Biafra will rise, and no force on earth can stop it." https://saharareporters.com/2025/04/26/canada-which-denied-you-visa-recognises-ipob-biafran-group-slams-defence-chief-chris?fbclid=IwY2xjawJ76aNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHi8FB9kl_dz6AjP-lgOuC3NmunIUAPhDW44JR43MXcJdUE1ff_xn-5RibliI_aem_kzJz9JkcLoHfZ-ngUUoOtA |

| Politics › Armed Herdsmen Attack Another Enugu Community, Brutally Murder Four Farmers by attackgat(op): 5:58am On Apr 15, 2025 |
No fewer than four farmers were murdered on their farms in Adani community in the Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu by suspected Fulani herdsmen. SaharaReporters gathered on Thursday that the victims were slaughtered in their farms on Tuesday afternoon, when the assailants invaded their farms. Meanwhile, Adani-Ogurugu road in the same local government has been under siege by gunmen suspected to kidnappers. Several travellers and local residents had been reportedly kidnapped in the last three weeks. A resident of Adani community, Chijindu Omeje, who confirmed the incident told SaharaReporters that his cousin's in-law named Emenike who was in his early 40s was among the four people killed by Fulani herdsmen. Another victim was a tree feller. "This incident happened in Adani farm. Meanwhile, the road from Adani to Ogurugu is a no-go area now as kidnappers believed to be same Fulani herdsmen have taken over the road. Several people have been kidnapped along the road in recent weeks. "The chairman of the local government is helpless. We need help. We need government intervention to ensure that local farmers can return to their farms. It is no longer a funny situation, something must be done and done urgently." Meanwhile, the Council Chairman, Barr Chijioke Ezeugwu assured local farmers of protection, adding that he directed security operatives to safeguard farmlands to enable farmers to return to their farms. In a report shared on Facebook by one Sen Chijinkem Ugwuanyi, a resident of the local government, he quoted Ezeugwu to have spoken on April 08, 2025, during a security awareness visit to communities in Uzo-uwani Local Government Area with the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of Enugu Government House. Addressing the gathering in the various communities, the Chairman noted that he had directed security operatives to take charge of all the surrounding bushes and farms so that farmers could safely cultivate in their lands and also said they'll ruthlessly deal with some of the miscreants harbouring around its environs. "Farming is very important to all of us, food security is the worst form of insecurity. Therefore, we will not allow food insecurity to surface in this part where we have started to witness a substantial return of peace and stability," he quoted the Council Chairman to have said. Ezeugwu reassured the farmers of the government's commitment to improving security around farmlands by using local security operatives to protect farmers from the unwarranted attacks. He called on all citizens to be resilient and conscious of the happenings around them and to report any suspicious activity or movement to security operatives. He implored and equally urged all Communities to fully support and cooperate with members of the Nigerian Police, Military, the neighbourhood watch and other security agencies. The Chairman noted that security operatives had started bush combing and government had taken a decisive step in bringing the menace to a stop. When the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, was contacted, he denied the attack. In text message sent to some journalists, Ndukwe said: "There is no report of such an incident please." https://saharareporters.com/2025/04/10/armed-herdsmen-attack-another-enugu-community-brutally-murder-four-farmers-farmlands |

Greetings Umunnem! I am out from Abakiliki prison after my unlawful imprisonment/incarceration as orchestrated by Ebonyi State governor Francis Nwifuru. I was abducted like a lamb taken to the slaughter house by Anti-kidnapping Squad from Owerri and thrown into Anti-kidnapping police cell Ebonyi State Command. Thereafter, I was denied access by everyone not to see me until I was secretly arraigned at Abakiliki Magistrate court and remand at Abakiliki prison.. I became a political prisoner, because I advised the Executive Governor of ebonyi state Francis Nwifuru to ensure that there're adequate security in Ebonyi communities or possibly establish community vigilante on all the communities in Ebonyi State that have experienced several Bandits/herdsmen attack. Unfortunately, five days after my advice Bandits/herdsmen attacked Ishielu Nkalahha community and killed over 20 persons. I also issued another statement notifying the general public after the attack that I have already raised alarm and advised the Executive Governor of ebonyi state to provide adequate security to those communities that have experienced frequent attacks. This is the reason I was abducted, tortured, brutalized and imprisoned getting to two months. I hired a team of lawyers led by Bar Ngozi Olehi SAN that secured my bail at federal High court Ebonyi State. The hearing of my matter is coming up on 8th May 2025. I am in hospital now where I am receiving medical treatment and attention. I appreciate the concern of you all during my incarceration and solicit for your support for legal battle ahead.

| Politics › Amnesty International Release Statement On 16 Northerners Lynched In Edo State by attackgat(op): 5:24pm On Mar 28, 2025*. Modified: 6:43pm On Mar 28, 2025 |
Amnesty International calls for an immediate and transparent investigation of lynching of at least 16 travelers whose vehicle was blocked and all of them dragged one by one: beaten and then set ablaze by the vigilante and armed youth yesterday at Uromi Edo state. Those killed were hunters travelling from Rivers state to Kano to celebrate Eid with their families. They were tied to used tyres doused with petrol and then set on fire. The viral videos of the gory incident show the victims pleading with their attacks while crowds cheered the vigilante that attacked the travellers using axe, iron rod and machete. The Nigerian authorities must go beyond merely condemning the incident and ensure that the suspected attackers are apprehended and brought to justice in fair trial. The consistent failure of the Nigerian government to punish mob violence has created an environment in which violent mobs believe themselves entitled to take the law into their own hands. The horrific mob violence that happened at Uromi is part of the rising trend of vigilante groups of towns and villages along highways blocking roads and carrying out unlawful activities with impunity.
