You hastily concluded the guy is at fault as if u were there, what if he obeyed them and was still shot at?

Buhari is just adding more members to Ipob, yesterday some northern politician was shouting that bandits and fulani herdsmen issue can never be solved with force,but in the south east its a different ball game, IPOB must be crushed by force.

How the Governors of the southeast keep quite despite this clear operation, persecution and injustice against their own people is beyond me.

The saying that goes don't bring a dog home if you are allergic to fleas and ticks is apt here.

When did disobeying traffic rule become a death sentence? These bloodthirsty soldiers are just fulani terrorists in military uniforms sent to SE to kill innocent igbo people nmk have warned about their evil mission recently.

YungMillionaire:
Some people will be on Nairaland and twitter celebrating the killing of soldiers and police. U na think say soldiers and police no dey use social media? Unfortunately, this is Nigeria, and the military will waste a lot of innocent peoples' lives just for retaliation. My advice to anyone living in SE is to keep a low profile until everything blows over. I won't be surprise if they are just hunting at this point.

iamjavadem:
This is sad. Since the gunshots were on the rear mirror, it means he probably thought the soldiers were thieves trying to steal his new car and he took off and the bastards shot at him. RIP.

Olisehinnocent:
How many times have you criticize police killing innocent civilians

YoungBlackRico:
Bro we are Nigerians. You and I know how the scenario leading to his untimely death probably played out. These guys are on edge at the moment, on a normal day they no stable self talk of now.

The fact that they didn't abandon his corpse on the road and had to go through proper procedures with the police says a lot about what transpired. Besides he was shot driving away from the said check point...if they claim he refused to stop for the normal routine no one can contest that anywhere in the world. People have been killed for less by the US police.

That said, I am not justifying this and may his soul find peace.

How many more Igbo youths need to die before igbos realise that Mazi Nnamdi Kalu and his family are overseas.

If he really wish to liberate his people, he should at least do the noble thing by coming back home.

danngnews:


If the US police wants to shoot their people for blinking their eyes, that's their cup of tea, Nigeria must not copy that.

For the soldiers to claim the guy violated their check point rules as his crime is crap and must be condemned.

I don't see how this type of reaction from the government will not escalate this already tensed situation.

How are they related please




I agree with you that any group of people has the right to defend itself against planned onslaught. Also, I supported the creation of ESN with the sole aim of protecting Igbos from been slaughter in their land. However, the recent turn if events that has resulted in killing of policemen some of whom might be Igbos and burning down of government buildings clearly shows that ESN has lost it's focus and if the current situation is not addressed the entire south east could be heading for anarchy.

I have no problems with IPOB/ESN/EbubeAgu. As a matter of fact, I think it is necessary. The problem I have is when you try to fight everyone at the same time. Know who your enemies are, know those you have to fight now and those you save for later.

We igbos continue to play stupid politics.
What have we gain from IPOB and ESN, nothing but sorrow tears and blood. We have continued to give this evilla government an excuse to bring soliders to murder our people.
When would we learn. Nothing positive has come from this Nnamdi kanu

YoungBlackRico:
Given the rising tension in that particular state and the fact that these guys are being targeted, please comply with their directives when you get to their check point...no go dey form James Bond, UGM won't be there to safe you.

Officialgarri:

Don't try to apply juice to what could have transpired. Is he seeing that checkpoint for the first time?

Since he was shot from the rear (although he can as well get shot from any angle, it's still justifiable) it shows that he was ordered to stop but refused.
That's a threat to the soldiers at that bastion.
Rules of engagement.

I sympathize with his family, however, with the tense security state, one needs to be careful around security operatives since they are the new endangered species

A soldier can't just kill him for nothing.. maybe he was rude to them..

adadike:
my brother, tell them again. Many people supporting the unknown gunmen are not living in the south east. People are suffering! Someone called me today to tell me that soldiers have blocked nise to amawbia road. Now tell me, what did the useless unknown gunmen achieved apart from blockade of our land.
Kanu is truly a dunce!

weslay:


What's your point exactly? Do you think I am a police officer or I have never been a victim of the high-handedness of the police?
Do you think killing police officers is the solution?
