This is from Osita Chidoka's Facebook page: Set up a Commission of Inquiry on Emene shooting Following media reports of the violent face-off between security agencies and members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leading to death of unarmed civilians and security agents, I contacted senior security officers and lawyers of IPOB. In my interaction with the security agencies facts emerged that the State Department lost two officers and automatic rifles during the fracas while two members of IPOB were killed and about five injured. As at the time of our conversation 5 members of IPOB were in Police custody. I requested the Police to grant them bail or charge them to court. In my discussion with IPOB lawyers it emerged that the members were meeting peacefully and did not constitute any threat to public peace when some security agents infiltrated their meeting leading to the fracas. I condole with all those who lost their lives and ask the government of Enugu state to institute a commission of Inquiry to ascertain the truth around the incident that led to the death of unarmed civilians and security agents. Security agencies must continue to respect fundamental right of peaceful assembly in a democracy and be guided by rules of engagement in dealing with unarmed civilians. Use of force in delicate situations is a by product of the militarization of our society and must be avoided. It is also important that the identity of those who killed the security agents and took their guns are ascertained to be sure that criminal elements did not cash in on the mayhem. I condemn the use of violence by any group whether security agents or private groups. I will continue to engage with all sides for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. I commend current efforts to de-escalate the tension. IPOB representatives assure me that they remain a non violent organization. Osita Chidoka August 2020 |
I wont be surprised if its true. From the feelers I'm getting, this kiling was the last straw and Igbo elite are quietly pressing for somebody to be held accountable for the massacre to prevent IPOB from becoming a violent group.

TInubu that a court in the USA seized drug money from his account is the best that the south has to offer? Anyway there is no more south. We have three zones if the South West say this is the best they have to offer issokay |
How can this fake country progress with all the innocent blood being spilled. God never sleeps |
![]() Ghana no go kee us oooo. We don suffer for their hand no be small. When tribalism makes you vote in useless leaders even small countries can rubbish you "eventuarry" as my chale friends say ![]() They even released a diss track for us some time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD9W5VMZkRA |
joeyfire:Of course Akin Adesina is head and shoulders above Osunbande the commissioner but he will not resign from his job to come and be dancing with broom on stage like Oshiomhole and Amaechi I just used him as the best available option as yorubas don gree say they will sink or swim with APC. |
But for goodness sake why did the man resist arrest and what was he rushing to get inside the car despite the police telling him to stop. Very unfortunate. I am sorry for his family having to witness him being shot |
What type of cheap nollywood script was this CP reading from. Disgraceful |
This man will not be president. The North is ready to frustrate him big time ![]() |
God no go gree that one OP. South East was rated by UN as safest place to live in Nigeria just three decades after a civil war destroyed it. Meanwhile the North-West, North-East, North Central and South West that have serious security problems of kidnapping, terrorism, cultism, banditry and thuggery. Why would we want to spoil our own party by starting an insurgency and destabilising the place. |
Minjim:How and where? I have never heard about that |
joeyfire:https://www.pulse.ng/news/local/gunmen-kidnap-students-preparing-for-exams-in-kaduna/38t9bd4.amp?__twitter_impression=true Trans-border Herdsmen/Bandits kidnapped 7 secondary school children in Southern Kaduna yesterday but this OP starts an intellectually fly-weight thread to justify why hundreds of DSS, Police, Army and NSCDC ambushed some unarmed Igbo boys holding a peaceful meeting. Tell me this thing is not a deep mental sickness

majamajic:I remember that one ![]() These guy do their propaganda without checking their facts and end up looking silly all the time. |
Rossikk:Did God create anything like SE? Another example of building faulty opinion upon faulty facts. So the Igbos outside the so called SE geo-political zone dont have the right to choose? |
nairavsdollars:So El-rufai wanted to be Vice President to Goodluck Jonathan and when he didnt choose him he became one of his biggest enemies |
Rossikk:This is such a lazy, pedestrian take. Flawed precepts built upon flawed precepts. IPOB are interested in self determination through peaceful means (referendum) so how exactly are they supposed to be seeking "to seize Nigeria's oil and gas resources? The simple reason why the FG is being brutal with them is because they are peaceful. Based on your logic these guys in white that slit the throats of hundreds of school boys in their dormitories, kidnapped Chibok girls, destroyed the North East, declared caliphates inside Nigeria and killed tens of thousands of people for ten years are less "dangerous" than IPOB that have never killed a soul. Just because of oil and gas? These Boko Haram killers will be paid allowances from the same oil and gas money for years to come. Nigeria is a real shithole walahi talahi. A real disgrace and a failed state
|
This government is the most stupid and divisive I have ever seen. Each time they commit these atrocities against a group that doesn't use violence they are helping to win more sympathisers for that group. Like I said before on a different thread I pray IPOB does not resort to violence |
My prayer is that IPOB never chooses violence |
Zulum of course. Tinubu is not presidential material at all |
Tinubu is a crook and Fayemi is just a dangerous man. Osinbajo would make a good president make I no lie |
No be small thing o according to Tubaba ![]() |
FrLukas:I guessed as much. 5.35 is the koko. "I was a child soldier. I served as a cook" He was not a combatant |
T9ksy:At least you did not lie that Ben Okafor or any other kids ever engaged in combat. Neither did Emeagwali or Okonjo Iweala who were both working in the army kitchen carrying firewood and washing pots |
His 2023 ambition has been dead since. This NBA blow is the final nail in the coffin. |
FrLukas:You are confused walahi talahi See your initial post to OP FrLukas:After exposing the OP's folly you reply me saying "THIS is a sample of the war crimes" FrLukas:So which one. Do you believe that these kids looking like 5 year olds with sticks were sent to the warfront? I can tell you for free that there were no child combatants in Biafra. I dont need to watch any videos. I've read enough literature to know this. The teenagers who served the army were errand boys, cleaners or cooks. |
