Varsity don condemns killing of civilians, backs IPOB’s ESN

 


A lecturer of Microbiology, in the Imo State University (IMSU), Dr. Ken Nwanekwu has condemned the alleged destruction of properties and killing of innocent civilians by soldiers in Orlu council area of Imo state.

The lecturer who spoke to DAILY POST on Monday at his office, stressed the importance of sustaining the Eastern Security Network established by the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

He said that the eastern part of the country had been made susceptible to various attacks due to lack of indigenous security outfit, calling on all leaders of Igbo extraction to throw their weight behind its (ESN) formation and sustainability.

“It’s very unfortunate that the military could engage head-on in a shootout or confrontation with unarmed members of Eastern Security Network for whatever reason.

“This is both unacceptable and unwarranted. Look at the number of innocent civilians being killed by the Nigerian soldiers for no just cause.

“Members of the Igbo community should rise up to the occasion and realize the need to establish a viable indigenous security outfit just like Amotekun in Yorubaland and Hisbah in the north, which will protect the land from unwarranted attacks.

“The federal government has kept mum to the issue of Fulani herdsmen’s incessant attacks on farmers. Day in, day out, these cattle herders move around communities destroying farmlands and maiming and killing innocent people who try to stop them.

“There are large hectares of land lying fallow in the north. These herders should be asked to build ranches on those fallow lands for their grazing rather than destroying peoples vegetation in the eastern part of the country.

“It’s about time Igbos spoke out in one voice against the marginalization and total neglect meted out to them,” he said.

He further urged the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo not to be compromised in chatting a better way forward for the people, frowning at the lopsidedness witnessed in the recent appointment of various service chiefs by President Muhammadu Buhari, which overtly excluded the southeast.

On Igbo presidency come 2023, he maintained that it was only natural justice and fairness to freely allow an Igbo man to clinch the seat of power in line with the rotational stand of the three ethnic groups where Hausa and Yoruba had benefited.

He, however, called for the coming together of all the Igbo towards achieving that feat.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
