Rights group Amnesty International is calling on the governor of Anambra state, south-eastern Nigeria, to investigate alleged killings of pro-Biafra secessionists. The pro-Biafra movement calls for the independence of territories forcibly annexed to modern-day Nigeria during British colonisation, ended in 1960.

Last year, Amnesty released a report documenting alleged abuses against supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob) movement.

The group claimed security forces killed at least 150 people "and injured hundreds more during peaceful assemblies" since August 2015.

"On 30 May 2016, during the Biafra Remembrance Day, around 1,000 activists gathered for a rally in Onitsha, Anambra state, south east Nigeria. 60 IBOP were killed by security forces that day," Amnesty said.

At the time, an Ipob coordinator who witnessed some of the alleged violence on demonstrators told IBTimes UKsecurity forces used tear gas and fired shots in the air to intimidate people, who ran away.

The army denied the allegations, claiming it intervened to prevent "ethnic clashes" and accused Amnesty of trying to tarnish its image.

But Amnesty has now created a petition urging Anambra's governor, Willie Obiano, "to instruct a prompt, independent and impartial inquiry into the killings of Biafra activists and other serious human rights violations, committed by the security forces."

Obiano's spokesperson has not responded to a request for comments.

Nnamdi Kanu's wife: Even if it takes 20 years, we will not allow witness secrecy trial

A Biafran Republic was established in 1967 but re-annexed to Nigeria in 1970, following a bloody civil war that claimed millions of lives.

Independence calls have gained renewed momentum following the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, one of the leaders of the movement, in October 2015. Kanu, Ipob leader and director of UK-based Radio Biafra, is standing trial on treasonable felony charges.

The Nigerian government has always maintained the country's unity was a priority and that although peaceful pro-Biafran protests were welcome, demanding the breakaway of the Biafran territories went against the constitution.

...this will decide fate of Obiano..!

Who is not a thief among all of them,Buhari give bribe called it gift while Senators manipulate our budget in other to steal called it padding..... Yes before you will kill you're pet dog you will give it bad name...

Truth but nothing but truth....APC be warned.. Death is not longer a news in Nigeria.

It is that ignorance that fuels the IPOB agenda. A typical igbo man is an " intelligent idiot". Very good in trade, very good in opportunity, very good educationally, very rich in customs, yet very individualistic. When you reason with some , very similar to these IPOB idiots who roam around these parts, you will realise you are talking to a person who is politically daft., who in 30 seconds will mention buhali, buhali , buhali so many times that you marvel if he is under a spell. He will be unable to have any real political discourse with you on any issue

the igbos can't compete politically in the nigerian structure and thus think it easier to form a biafra wwith minority groups they can dominate.

...Politics Is not the gate to the Paradise but know is by grace of God will take you top not what think dear

duni04:
They will always get biafran lawyers to come out with stupid conclusions like this. There is nothing illegal about Magu's satus as Acting chairman!

......the more you fry your face, the more you fry your self. Sent yourself free by saying the truth...

bekpo:
These people calling for Magu's sack is either corrupt or they r under EFCC investigation. They quot the law blindly to deceive the public. Though section 2(3)of the EFCC Act give the president power to appoint a substantive EFCC chairman subject to the confirmation by the senate. Section 11 of the interpretation Act defines what constitute appointment, it provides that it can be either in acting capacity and or for a term. And in fact it went to state that the appointment in acting capacity can be done from time to time. This gives Mr president the power to renominate Magu from time to time. Which means he can continue in acting capacity till Infinitum. So, power to appoint and or continued existence of Magu as EFCC chair is exclusively under the whims and carpreses of the President.

..let watch and see but if this present government have respect to the rule of law best option is to shop for another alternative.

Given Osibanjo titled he deserve it, he is Enyi-oha really but Buhari as the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria don't deserve any titled yet unless he probe his kitchen cabinet.... Truth but nothing but truth...
