The women protesting the insecurity are the "radical people"? Do you people even have conscience or common sense? This is how you see things when you already have fixed mindset about certain things or people.
Why were they protesting?

Ijele and co will say it's IPOB-ESN that did it.
SW propaganda machinery will say it's IPOB-ESN


And their Nairaland crew will be instructed to broadcast it , even when it's unconfirmed news

In the name of the LORD ALMIGHTY. All people underming efforts at protecting the land from sahelian invaders will be consumed by the same people they align with.

BIAFRA is the only way to exit this systematic bloodshed and movement. As regards those that are using Nnamdi Kanu to please the North. You are irrelevant before them, because as they march on your region and you remind them of what you did in support of them.

THEIR DAGGERS WILL STILL NOT LEAVE YOUR THROATs. angry
From the last two lines
You speak like you are god
But you are not God
So

Amnesty International Condemns Nigerian Military Over Killing Of Female Protesters In Adamawa
December 9, 2025
NEWS

Amnesty International has called on the Nigerian authorities to launch a transparent and impartial investigation into what it described as the horrific and unlawful use of excessive force by soldiers that led to the killing of at least nine female protesters in Lamorde Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

In a statement on Tuesday, the rights group condemned the military’s decision to fire live ammunition at unarmed demonstrators without warning, noting that such conduct violates both Nigerian and international human rights law.

According to Amnesty International, the injured protesters sustained gunshot wounds to the head, neck, back, chest, shoulder, legs and arms.

It noted that some suffered multiple bullet wounds, indicating indiscriminate shooting.

The organisation also criticised the government for what it described as an increasingly inadequate, slow and ineffective response to the escalating communal violence between the Bachama and Chobo ethnic groups.

The conflict, triggered by disputes over land and the theft of a motorcycle, has spiralled into a cycle of killings, reprisals, and atrocities.

Amnesty International noted that in rare instances when security forces respond to such violence, they often do so with unlawful or disproportionate force.

It cited the December 8, 2025 incident in Lamorde, where security agencies allegedly worsened the situation by using live rounds, leading to more deaths and destruction.

“The continuous failure to investigate such gross human rights violations is fueling a dangerous disdain for the sanctity of human life in Nigeria,” the organisation warned.

Nine Confirmed Dead From Nigerian Army Shooting Of Women Protesters In Adamawa, 51 Others Injured
December 9, 2025
NEWS

Death toll has risen to nine after soldiers allegedly opened fire on protesting women in the Lamurde Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Monday.

Also, 51 others are receiving treatment for varying degrees of gunshot wounds—many of them life-threatening.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that at least seven women were gunned down in a chilling incident involving troops said to be escorting Brigade Commander Amaechi Agwu of the 23 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Yola. The soldiers allegedly fired live rounds at the demonstrators in Lamurde.

A respected community leader, providing an update on Tuesday, said: “After the dust settled and a proper count was taken, these are the figures: 9 dead; 23 in hospital in Numan; 28 in hospital in Yola — bringing the total to 60.”

Repeated calls to the spokesperson for the state police command, SP Suleiman Nguroje, went unanswered, and a WhatsApp message sent to him had not been replied to at the time of filing this report.

Houses, farm produce, domestic animals, and other valuables worth hundreds of millions of naira were reportedly destroyed during the mayhem.

Meanwhile, the 23 Brigade on Tuesday issued a random statement denying that its troops shot at protesters.

In a statement signed by the brigade’s spokesperson, Captain Olusegun Abidoye, the army said a joint team of soldiers, police, and other security operatives only cleared barricades mounted by the women to secure the Lamurde council secretariat, claiming that “assailants” were advancing to set it ablaze.

Abidoye also stated that Brigadier General Amechi Agwu was not at the scene, noting that he was attending an online conference convened by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shuaibu, at the time of the incident.

With many victims battling fatal gunshot injuries, residents fear the death toll may rise even further.
