Nigerian Army Reacts To Amnesty Report Of Army Killing 17 IPOB/MASSOB Youths by obiremy: 11:56am On Jun 10, 2016 |
The attention of the 82 Division, Nigerian Army has been drawn to a planned release of report by Amnesty International on the recent violent activities by IPOB and MASSOB on 31st May 2016 in which they were alleging that the Nigerian Army planned the killing of the protesters. This is not true but the usual calculated attempt to rubbish the Security forces in particular and the Nigerian Army just to remain relevant. It should be noted that the Non-governmental organization has always been of the habit of being the judge and jury in matters of our national security without recourse to fairness, objectivity, all aimed at rubbishing the Nigerian Army for reasons best known to them. This could not be far from trying albeit unsuccessfully to be relevant and justify funding. For the avoidance of doubt, what transpired that fateful day was that some elements of MASSOB/IPOB engaged in violent protests which led to outright breakdown of law and order. The pro-Biafra protesters who had chosen the day to mark the 50th Anniversary of Biafra perpetrated a number of unimaginable atrocities to unhinge the reign of peace, security and stability in several parts of Anambra State. A number of persons were selected for attack, killed and burnt. Two personnel of the Nigeria Police were killed, several soldiers were wounded, a Nigeria Police vehicle was completely burnt down while another of the Nigerian Army was vandalized. The strategic Niger Bridge at Onitsha was at the verge of being captured particularly with the coordinated reinforcement of the violent protesters from the Asaba end of the Bridge. In addition, wanton destruction of lives and properties were brazenly carried out by the protesters who employed firearms, crude weapons as well as other volatile cocktails such as acid and dynamites. In consequence, law, order and security were grossly threatened across the State and beyond. The Nigerian Army in synergy with other security agencies under its constitutional mandates for Military Aid to Civil Authority (MACA) and Military Aid to Civil Power (MACP) acted responsively in order to de-escalate the deteriorating security situation. Instructively, the military and other security agencies exercised maximum restraints against the odds of provocative and inexplicable violence that were employed against them by the pro-Biafra protesters. The military and of course the other security agencies acted professionally within the extant Rules of Engagement to successfully de-escalate the budding anarchy. It is rather inconceivable for any individual or group to have decided to inundate the general public with an anecdote of unverified narratives in order to discredit the Nigerian Army in the course of carrying out its constitutional duties despite the premeditated and unprovoked attacks in the hands of the violent pro-Biafra mob as Amnesty International is determined to do. Thank you for your usual cooperation. COLONEL HAMZA GAMBO Deputy Director Army Public Relations Source: http://www.trezzyblog.com/2016/06/amnesty-internationals-campaign-of.html 6 Likes 2 Shares

The leadership of IPOB claim more than 50 of their members were killed. The Nigerian army has said in a statement that they acted in self-defence, and five IPOB members were killed. However, Amnesty International has seen no evidence that the killings were necessary to protect life. Although the police also claim that IPOB supporters killed two policemen the next day in neighbouring Asaba, Delta state, Amnesty International cannot confirm this claim. However, such killings would not substantiate the army’s argument they acted in self-defence. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/06/nigeria-killing-of-unarmed-pro-biafra-supporters-by-military-must-be-urgently-investigated/ Army people, kindly show us the dead bodies and names of the security agencies killed by IPOB, just as IPOB has detailed names and photos of every of their members killed since August last year, as published by Premiumtimes. 183 Likes 8 Shares |

Very soon it will be a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY TO SELL ARMS to feudal nigeria. They'll be left with only catapults, bows and arrows. Kikikikiki! The sunni-led army went into a church at Nkpor to kill worshippers celebrating a remembrance mass for their heroes who died for them in 67-70s, what's the difference between them and the northern muslims that go into churches to kill in the north? nigeria army is BOKO HARAM. 82 Likes 5 Shares |

It's quite ironic that, a govt whose motto is anti-corruption is here commiting gross acts of human rights violation and extra-judicial killings, and at the same time, giving flimsy excuses on why they can't go after killer fulani herdsmen (who violated Nigerians right to life) because of ECOWAS. The more gross acts of human rights violations are committed by govt, the more foriegn medias rubbishes the image of the country on human rights violation. Tourist, businessmen and sporting organizations takes Amnesty's report about countries very seriously before they visit, do business or organize intl sporting events and hosting rights. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

I tried to make sense out of this public statement, but it seems empty and irrational. I cant remember the last time I posted anything sympathetic over the death of any soldier, Most times I feel they deserve even more. Its laughable how our leaders have always struggled to preserve the unity of this country with Gun and blood of the innocent. Anyone with common sense will ask how sustainable this blood preserved unity will last. I think unity should come out of willful submission and not coercion. That's the only way all stakeholders would enjoy it. 38 Likes |

. .the army who write this report look like someone who just finished smoking weed and drinking ijaw ogogoro. the manner it address amnesty international shows they are guilty of allegation. I see one reason why Nigeria government will find it difficult to buy arms legitimately. the america congress is till debating if to sell fighter jet to Nigeria or not. there will be a further ban. and this will led to arms in the black market. and another reason Niger Delta avengers will take on this Government in battle field. 15 Likes 2 Shares |
