Police Tear-gas, Arrest Enugu Women Protesting Against Alleged Killing Of Their Children By Soldiers, Labelling Of Youths As IPOB Members



The security agents labelled the protestors as members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

 

A combined team of Nigerian security agents on Friday attacked and brutalised hundreds of women protesting against the killing of their children in a community in Enugu, Southeastern Nigeria.

The incident occurred in Enugu Ezike, Igbo Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The security agents labelled the protestors as members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The women from Imufu and its environs who thronged Ogrute junction, in their hundreds, wore black attire and chanted songs to show their grievances and disapproval of the incessant bloodletting and massacre of their children.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the protesting women trekked to the local government headquarters at Ogrute and were joined by other women from neighbouring communities.

A video of the protest seen by SaharaReporters on Friday shows a crowd of women chanting songs in Igbo and demanding a stop to the killing of their children, labelled as IPOB followers or members.

They accused security agencies of killing their youths.

The women sang, "Iwe, Iwe, Iwe. Owe na ewe anyi makana udo adiro na obodo anyi, Iwe," meaning, "we are angry that we do not have peace in our villages, our state and country. We want our leaders to stop the killing of our children and other loved ones."

SaharaReporters learnt that the security situation in Igboeze North LGA got deteriorated recently with corpses of youths being picked from bush paths and other major roads almost on daily basis.

Soldiers of the Nigerian Army and operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have been accused of being behind the killings.

An eyewitness, who gave his name as Chinyere Ezeugwu told SaharaReporters that while the women were protesting peacefully, truckloads of soldiers, policemen and Ebubeagu vigilantes were deployed to the major roads leading to the local government headquarters.

Mrs Ezeugwu said, "Immediately they got to Imufu Junction in Ogrute, the security men started firing canisters of teargas to disperse the women who were protesting peacefully.

"Some of the security agents started shooting sporadically forcing the women to helter-skelter to save their life from the brutal force. While the women were running, the operatives pursued and arrested tens of others. I saw when they were forcing many of them into their vans and taken away."

When SaharaReporters reached out to the state police public relations officer DSP Daniel Ndukwe on the incident, he said he was “not aware of the incident

What can I say that has not been said?

But the sun must rise.

The killing of the armed forces and the killing of the civilians has to stop

Are we living in stone age ?

It shall never be well with Nigerian terrorists army.

They will keep dying in the hands of their enemies.
Just as they are making many widow and fatherless so shall their own families be.

Nigeria is a barbaric nation

Whenever IPOB want to announce their latest atrocities they always accuse others of their Crime

God Pass them

Wetin I go talk now?

where is the evidence of the killing?
How are you sure the killers are ipob terrorists in army uniform.
From the look of a thing those military officers are innocents

OP should stop spreading fake news if you can not provide evidence that they are Nigeria Army

It shall never be well with Nigerian terrorists army.

They will keep dying in the hands of their enemies.
Just as they are making many widow and fatherless so shall their own families be.

You can't be Igbo.

The arrow of the evil you supported will surely get you where ever you are.
Hence you are celebrating the army killing people's children, fathers and husbands, such shall be your own misfortune.

You don't have God.
The evil you wish others will abide in your tent.
The bullet you wish others will destroy you.

Just the reward of your wickedness!

Anyone against the sun from rising, must surely be put to shame whether alive or in their death

For celebrating the death of these children and supporting army shooting their mothers, your own parents will cry because of you.

The women

BATified2023:

U do anyhow soldiers repeat 1967

Please what really did soldiers do in 1967

Ezike Oba a peaceful community now a terror zone all thanks to the failed government from top to bottom.

At the end the sun must surely rise, a call for referendum is not a call for war and unity by force is a crime

So why haven't they wiped out the ethnic group of bokoharam members that have been massacring thausands of nigerian soildiers in the north east if that's how things works?
