The European Union (EU) yesterday, condemned and rejected the unilateral classification of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation by the Nigerian Armed Forces. The Defence Headquarters of the Nigeria Army on Friday declared IPOB a terrorist organisation, claiming that its members had become violent and a security threat in the country.
But the EU’s condemnation followed reported video footages of the brutal and inhuman activities of the Nigerian Army in the South-East region of Nigeria.
The videos showed various scenes of the invasion of communities, torture and killings of IPOB members, which have gone viral since the Nigeria Army launched its Operation Python Dance II to clamp down on the group agitating for selfdetermination.
President of the EU Commission, Mr. Jean-Claude Junker, who made the view of the Commission known, openly warned the Nigerian security personnel against what he described as their ill hearted and unprofessional handling of democratic issues and the rights of the people. Junker cautioned the Nigerian military chiefs that they must employ every democratic tenet to handle issues that concern the agitations of the citizens in Nigeria.
“It is the people’s right to agitate and make a request from their government; self-determination is a right enshrined in the United Nation Charter. The people of Biafra have every right to request for a referendum, they have been in this struggle for a while now they have never killed or shot a bullet instead they are the victims of attacks and murder.
“The entire EU hereby condemns the brutal attack on IPOB members and leadership under the pretentious disguise of a military exercise (Operation Python Dance). The Nigerian military is warned to adopt democratic tenets in handling citizens.
The EU will not sit and watch things go undemocratic in the largest economy of the West African region,” he warned.
Junker promised to raise the issues concerning the peoples’ request for a referendum among the caucus of the EU, stating that the Biafra request for a referendum was not different from that of the Catalonians in Spain and the Scots in Britain.
He said the Nigeria government must rise above the suppression of voices of dissent and handle issues with every tenet of maturity and democracy.
Earlier, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu had petitioned the European Union on the on-going military operation in southeast region of Nigeria.
In the petition, Kanu accused the army of intimidation, torture, arrest, abduction and killing of the civilian populace in the southeast He also petitioned the European Union High Commission, the Presidents of United States of America, Russia, Israel, United Kingdom and France.
In the petitioned dated September 14, the leader of the separatist group accused the Nigerian military of intimidation, torture, arrest, abduction and killing of civilian populace in the southeast.
The letter written by the counsel to the IPOB leader, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, was addressed to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, the European Union High Commission, the presidents of United States of America, Russia and Israel.
Kanu in his letter called for the immediate intervention of the UN, the EU, the US and these other countries on the invasion of the military in the region.
He urged the comity of nations to prevail on the Nigerian government to suspend further military action in the South-East states of the country and withdraw ‘the rampaging troops’ from the region.
The letter, which had attachment to it of videos and photographs of victims of the alleged army attack, stated that the hostility against the IPOB members has escalated to other neighbouring states resulting in bloody casualties. “Unarmed civilians largely made up members of the Indigenous People of Biafra are now being tortured and murdered in cold blood on a daily basis.
We have no doubt that the undisclosed reason for deploying troops to south eastern states by the President Buhari-led administration is to attack unarmed and defenceless members of the Indigenous People of Biafra who are merely exercising their constitutional guaranteed rights to self-determination,” the letter said.

Interesting, Nigeria army are jokers

everybody nose buhari army is a liar

tit:
everybody "nose "buhari army is a liar

How did you " ear"?

No be EU wey Islamists done take over? This Juncker abi na junk should solve his family problems first before chatting trash. They will drop one explosive bucket near the that your junk head

In as much as I totally condemned Kanus act's and utterances, I totally condemned the Soldiers invasion and acts in that region. The Oyinbos are part of the problems Nigeria faced today simply because of their selfish interests.

No reasonable government or institution will allow any of its affiliates to cede from its as such action will serve as weakness of that government and as such weaken the government.

The grave mistake Olusegun Obasanjo in ceding the Oil rich Bakkasi peninsula to Cameroon shows how weak we are as a nation but no one from the international community raised eye brow because of economic growth that the action meant for the Western countries. Such mistake must never repeat itself in Nigeria.

Germany parted ways at a time but Germany realised it's mistake quickly and come back again as one and now Germany has the largest and the best Economy in Europe. Korea was intruded and both are now paying the ugly price for the cheap actions of theirs.
Sudan despite its Oil potentials allowed itself to be manipulated and it's leaders were brainwashed , till date Sudan has never experience peace. The list goes on.

The larger and bigger a nation is , the more it's respected.

This should serve as advise for Nnamdi Kanu, to desist and apologise to Nigerians for his acts, utterances and mistakes and stop putting his people at severe risks they're currently subjected to.

United we stand. Divided we fall.
ONE NIGERIA.

when you lie,
lie small, small!
Ireland seperated from Great Britain about 1920 and it was acrimonious.
Britain just severed many ties with Europe and it was also acrimonious.
Scotland just tried to sever from the UK in a bitter political referendum.
in all these, the only one that involved state terrorism was the Irish quest for independence.

Nairaland hid this post yesterday claiming it was fake when it has been reported on several media.LOL

You will never see this kind of thread make FP. That of Bloomberg has been hidden. Just make a thread saying bombs, rockets and grenade were found in Kanus house and watch these pro Fulani move it to FP

Another thread that will be hidden and won't make front page despite having a credible source but the one that has no source is swiftly carried to fp

And you expect the international community not to consider the ipob youths when there is glaring evidences of conspiracy against them?

When talking talk intelligently kos you don't get to meet those dunces you're used to everyday!!
Korea and Germany are 99% homogeneous... That's why they made every effort to come back together after the split brought about by WW2.
Sudan is just like Nigeria in all respects... Just as the Fulani minority are lording it over us here is how the Arab minority lorded it over them there before southerners under John Garang rebelled in 1983. Nigeria is bound irrevocably on the Sudanese route.. And its just a matter of time before she breaks up like Sudan did.

It is most likely that biafra will be free before the next ten years.

Bulgari has messed up everything.

lol @ fake ipob terrorist news..


Useless terrorists.

The useless country at it again...

IPOB and fake news!

And to the politiçally conscious Nigerian,it's thought provoking that the AK-47 wielding killer Fulanis who for ages have continued to cause painful loss of human lives and annihilation of generations have never even been seen as a menace let alone branded as terrorist group.But a peaceful IPOB is now rather seen as otherwise? What a transveste of justice Acts of this nature tends to fuel more radicalism hence that is why the world is no longer a safe place.Meanwhile,God the ultimate arbiter of impartial justice never sleeps.

Philistine:
IPOB and fake news!

Never allow your hatred becloud your sense of sound judgement.It may be your turn to be oppressed or suppress tomorrow.Whatsoever goes around comes around.Remember how the God of Isreal severely dealt with the Phillistines in the times of old even when he delibrately allowed them to oppress the former for some time in order to draw them back to Him? Karma is real.
