Biafra: Group to petition US govt over suit against Army Chief, 13 others davidblawal 2 days ago The National Committee of Yoruba Youth (NCYY), and the Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria, have concluded plans, to petition the embassy of the United States in Nigeria, over what it described as another, in the series of attempts, to interfere in the sovereignty of Nigeria, “by some ‘disgruntled’ Nigerians and external collaborators, who have chosen the USA, as an abode to carry out their orchestrated plans, against the Nation’s security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army.” The group, in a media briefing in Lagos on Wednesday, reacted to the decision of a United States (U.S.) District Court for the District of Columbia, which has granted leave to a group of 10 Biafran agitators to sue Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff, Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, and 13 others for what it described as their complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings of some Biafran protesters. The group, through its President, Comrade Oladimeji Odeyemi, said it hoped to use the petition to remind the US Government that the activities of those persons, who now seek to hide under the US Judicial system, to distract Nigeria’s ongoing war against terrorism, separatist agitation and all forms of insurgency, had posed several security threats not just to Nigeria, but also to other countries of the world, including the United States. Comrade Odeyemi said, contrary to claims by these persons, who he described as agent provocateurs that there is a continuous clamp down on Protesters and their families in Nigeria, it is the Biafra agitators, mainly from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) sect, that have been harassing innocent Nigerians, at every given time, that they embark on their activities. The group says it will also use the medium to mobilise for the support of the United States government and other international bodies to assist Nigeria in promoting and sustaining the peaceful atmosphere, currently being experienced in the country, as a result of the brilliant effort of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, coupled with the untiring commitment of the nation’s security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army, under General Tukur Buratai, towards a total restoration of peace in most already troubled parts of the country. “We wish to advise those persons and their political patrons, who think they can hide in foreign lands to truncate the ongoing process of sustaining our country’s Unity and mutual trust, to have a rethink and join in the ongoing process of building a new Nigeria. “The Nigerian Army and its leadership have come of age and enjoys the massive solidarity and support of our people, who can now differentiate between what was obtainable in the past, and an Army, now built on quality service and integrity” Odeyemi summed. http://thenationonlineng.net/biafra-group-petition-us-govt-suit-army-chief-13-others/amp/ 1 Like |

Amnesty international and other human rights organization blaming the Army are clowns. The biafra protesters killed by the army are unruly and violent youths who were out to destroy the peace enjoyed by other Nigerias living in the east as commanded by Nnamdi Kanu on radio biafra. They burnt several dangote trucks, burnt mosques, shut down and looted markets and shops and even killed and threw security officials over onitsha bridge yet they claim they were having peaceful protest. Who is fooling who? The shiites killed by the army were forming a government in kaduna state. They are rebellious and refused to recognize the authority of the state government and federal government. They blocked the convoy of chief of army staff turning deaf ears to all pleas and were even ready to engage the military. They only take orders from El-zaky zaky. Which sane government would fold it's arm and watch shiites and IPOB metamorphos into a full blown terrorist group before taking action considering the fact that we are still battling Bokoharam and Niger delta militants? The Nigerian army's responsibility is to protect the lives and properties of nigerians and defend the sovereignty of the country. They have done just that and sane people like The National Committee of Yoruba Youth (NCYY), and the Coalition of Civil Society Groups against Terrorism in Nigeria, consider the action of the military as a prompt response to potential terrorism and a perfect job. Amnesty international and it's allies can keep whining about human rights abuses but will hypocritically turn a blind eye when the United States and other western nations commits atrocities. The US drone program has killed more civilians in Pakistan than the taliban they claim to be fighting. When Iraq was invaded, civilian casualties were on the maximum. Till today Libya is the battling the after effects of the invasion led by the United States. Amnesty international won't see all that but they are quick to sponsor law suits against younger democracies like ours. Who will sue the USA for war crimes? Hypocrites 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Fremancipation: NDIIGBO NEED TO WAKE UP SERIOUSLY, BECOS I DONT KNOW HOW U PEOPLE SEE YORUBAS OR ALLOW DEM DECIEVE U. THE PEOPLE THAT DESTROYED NIGERIA ARE YORUBAS. EVEN THE HAUSA IS A VICTIM. U MIGHT FIND DAT HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH. ANSWER THIS QUESTION, HAS THE HAUSA HAD A FULL TENURE SINCE 1999? NO! YORUBA HAVE USED DECEPTION AND MANIPULATION TO SCHEME THEM OUT. THIS IS THE SAME CASE WITH IGBOS. THE ONE THING THAT I AM HAPPY ABOUT IS THAT THE US GOVERNMENT TODAY IS NOT OBAMA GOV. LET THEM GO TO US EMBASSY, AND THAT IS WHERE IT ENDS. COURT CASE IS IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NOTHING CAN STOP THE US COURT FROM PASSING JUDGEMENT AT THE END OF HEARING. TRUMP TEAM AND THE WORLD ALREADY GATHERED ALL THE EVIDENCE AND EVEN ALJAZEERA PRESENTED IT TO BUHARI LIVE ON TV. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Do you know that fter the Hausa vs Yoruba clash at ife,only yorubas were arrested including an oba,they're still unjustly detained till today with an expensive bail condition, plus many other problems affecting the yorubas but you hardly see them agitate or discuss their problems rather they would be moving from one igbo thread to another spewing hatred over what is not their concern.

See them, backstabbers! They will not petition against fulani herdsmen commiting mass murders but against IPOB. I really pity these people, they are the reason why the rest of the South have continued to suffer in the hands of a.b.o.k.is, who on a good day cant witstand the Igbos, but they had to use these cowards to always subjugate us through a war of attrition, but thank God we have finally awoken and will either struggle on our own and emancipate & safeguard our future generation than team up with these perenial & shameless cowards. God forbid anything like Southern nation that will have these guys in it. They would enjoy their union with the a.b.o.k.i.s when we live the Zoo. 11 Likes 3 Shares |
