#EndSARS: 50 Persons Killed, 80 Injured In Oyigbo Area Of Rivers State – Intersociety

A human rights organization, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has said that it has confirmed the killing of at least 50 people with 80 others Injured during and after the EndSARS protest in Oyigbo local government area of Rivers State.

Chairman of Intersociety, Mr. Emeka Umeagbalasi in a statement accused Governor Nyesom Wike of aiding the military to kill residents of Oyigbo between 21st October and 4th November, 2020.

He alleged the killings were so glaring that the corpses of the slain littered the bushes and the roadsides, with some buried shallow graves or left to decompose and others picked up by their relatives.

According to him, “In Obigbo and environs in Rivers State, we can temporarily confirm the killing of at least 50 unarmed citizens and injuring of not less than 80 others. We can also confirm eleven deaths so far out of which, eight have their names identified and three yet to be named.

“Their names are: Pastor Igwe (slain husband of Mrs. Amara Igwe), Queen Nwazuo (slain fiancée of Mr. Monday Bakor), Okoro Peter and Chinwendu O; they were shot at close range and killed instantly by soldiers on 24th October 2020 few meters away from Governor Wike’s convoy.

The Governor was visiting Obigbo to assess his military deployment and curfew same day and the two young residents barely emerged from their houses to hear what their Governor has come to tell them when soldiers sighted them and opened fire, killing them instantly.

“They were shot on their forehead, forcing the brain-box of late Chinwendu to burst and emptied at the center of the road. Other dead citizens were: Jude Egejuru (died from gunshot injuries), Clifford Nkemdilim, Miss Ngozi Ozuo, Udeme Ossy Monday, a yet-to-be identified dead citizen, second yet-to-be-identified citizen and third yet-to-be-identified dead citizen. It must be noted that soldiers took away bodies of most of those killed.

this is very Bad! Nigeria army are disgrace to humanity. but im yet to see pictures and videos of the shooting and others.

so i wont believe completely , even the OP look like someone with ulterior motives already

Pierocash:
Nothing may happen to wike because he is powerful before innocent Oyigbo people.

But one thing is certain, karma has no respect for position no matter how highly placed you think you are.

Wike rode on the wings of the Igbo race to achieve his ambition, but suddenly realised how inconsequential their lives are to him. They hated Amaechi because of wike, they backed him to succeed just to spite Amaechi, even though we warned them that Wike is evil

Yujin:
Wike supervised the ethnic cleansing and can never absolve himself. There are records of some of those killings while the evil Nigerian Army to took away the corpse of majority of their victims. It's well on record.

Rugaria:
[s]The number of dead people must be far more than this. Wike has been a chronic igbo hater right from his days as the local government chairman ai Obiakpor. He claims he is from Benin and this seem to push him and certain ikwerres with his line of thinking to always try to purge Rivers State of any Igbo heritage. Like I said before, it's now time to push back! Igbos are indigenous to Rivers and nothing the likes of Wike says will change that. The Nigerian government handed Rivers State to pro federal Nigerian characters post war and all they have been doing ever since is to wage all sorts of evil wars against the Igbo population there.. This has to stop![/s]

IPOB miscreants making this an Igbo affair as usual. Igbos must not fall for this trash. When are you gonna add Kanu to the list of muderers. If Wike is implicated, how about Kanu whose utterance began the killings.

Kanu can never be exonerated. Next time, maybe when he’s incarcerated in prison, he’ll learn not to stoke ethnic tension with his utterances.

Lajet:
I'm not a fan of Nnamdi Kanu but is it Nnamdi Kanu that orders Army to massacre innocent citizens? Bandits have been killing Army and police in the North so why their governors have not ordered the Army to massacre their people.

Biafrawemove:
For the fact media says 50
I believe ,is greater than this
Wike have show his through color
