The Igbo Peoples Congress, and
the Igbo Aborigines, have warned the Nigeria’s security agencies to stop
killing Biafra supporters and other Nigerians at will.
A joint statement by their
spokesmen, Okey Colbert and Chidi Obisike, condemned the recent shootings
and killings of some agitators in Ekwulobia, Anambra State.
”The killing of more than 150
pro-Biafran agitators by Nigerian security agents as reported by the Amnesty
International is still fresh in our mind”, they said.
“The Ezu River killings by SARS
operatives at Awkuzu in Anambra State is also still fresh in our psyche.
”The quit notice by misled
Arewa youths and the ongoing hate song in the north are still endangering the
polity and yet these overzealous soldiers and other security agents are not
bothered by all these challenges.”
The groups called on the
International Court of Justice at The Hague to bring to book, the killer
soldiers and their commanders, who also murdered hundreds of Shiite
followers in Zaria some months ago.
They stated that all Nigerians
have the right to peaceful agitations, including secession and insisted that
Nigeria cannot move forward until it is restructured.
