Forget Community Policing, Copy Amotekun - Igbo Union In US Advices SE Govs. by MetaPhysical: 6:56am On Jun 15, 2020
Magnus Eze, Enugu

The Igbo Union, an organisation of citizens and residents of Igbo extraction registered in the State of California, United States of America, have told governors of the South East states that history would be unkind to them, if they failed to protect their ancestral land.

The group also urged the governors to reject any community policing model prescribed by the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, noting that it would amount to unwittingly handing over security of the region to their enemies. Rather, they urged the governors to take a cue from the Yoruba of the South West and model the security arrangement of the region toward the Amotekun outfit.

In a letter dated May 30, 2020, to the five South East governors and copied governors of Delta and Rivers states, president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and archbishops of Roman Catholic and Anglican Communion in the region, the Igbo Union expressed concern over what it called the insensitivity of the state chief executives to the threat and terrorisation of Igbo by suspected Fulani herdsmen roaming the villages with their cattle and AK-47 rifles.

The letter, signed by the coordinator, Ikechukwu Orji, secretary-general, Matthew Ohanele, and director, diplomacy and outreach, Dr. Ray Chimezie, among others, therefore, charged the governors to liaise with the various state Houses of Assembly and ensure quick enactment of anti-open grazing laws in their states.

The Igbo group said: “There are lots of unanswered questions about your response to the influx of Fulani militia into Igboland, which skyrocketed during the lockdown. It is a fact of history that the Fulani believe in conquering other ethnicities and inhabiting their land. Clearly, the Fulani do not believe in ‘live and let live’ as the Igbo.

“They are sworn enemies of Ndi Igbo and want to take over Igboland as the inheritance of their forefathers. They want to force us to become Moslems. They believe in total and complete domination and enslavement of others as captives or subjects. Their leaders have referred to Igboland as conquered territory, and they are determined to take it as they have done in many parts of Benue, Plateau, and other non-Islamic states in northern Nigeria.

“Popular opinions and anecdotal sources seem to suggest that the governors in the South East are compromised and working in the interest of the ruling Islamic cabals rather than their states. Evidence that seem to support this allegation include the over 360 Fulani settlements in various forests in Igboland, your failure to respond to Fulani threats in Igbo villages, lopsided compensation of Fulani for cattle loss without doing same to affected Igbo people or villages, endorsing Fulani land-grab in Igboland by failing to enact anti-grazing law as was done in states like Benue.

“The Igbo Union wants to make it clear to Igbo governors that we object to the use of the template structured by the IGP. To develop the South East security network using the template of the person or persons masterminding terrorism and planning genocide in Igboland is preposterous. It falls short of what Ndi Igbo stand for or represent.”

Anyone that travelled via Osun will agree with me that Amotekun worked more than the police, cos no one was able to come in to Osogbo from Kwara, likewise, I wasn't able to come in to Osun from Ondo. During the lock door
Amotekun stayed at Ifetedo in Osun state sending travellers from Ondo back cool

And ironically these same poeple have the temerity to say black lives matter.. They don't believe their tribal bigotry is worst than racism, this is the reason why Nnamdi kanu and his followers want out. How can you share a country with these kind of people?

Yet, your most exposed elites are begging for replication of Amotekun in your muddy region.

Well, it is good for Igbos not to have Amotekun. At least, when the Fulanis are pushed out of SW, they can carry their criminal actions to the SE and stay there freely.

It's not cowardice; they are threading with caution.

No region in this country had (and still have) made numerous attempts to pull out of the country like the Igbos

Any security move that doesn't align with that of the center will be perceived as arming the region in another effort to secede.

The Yorubas will get away with it because they are pro-Nigeria.

Another region that will raise the president's eyebrows is the South South because they are also known for agitation

So, the state security operatives will never allow the South South set up a security network without giving them a template.

Ameotekun was labeled a terrorist group and unconstitutional too, the reason why the Yorubas won is because of our unified voice and we fought them by the book, we signed Amotekun into the constitution . In order to have something like this to be successful you’d have to do it with smarts and the power of the pen.

All these things you are saying are irrelevant

I have stated the core reason

The South South cannot form a security network without Federal interference

Go and mark it somewhere

The south south are not unified. Do they speak with one voice? Igbos can successfully have their own security outfit if you work towards it using Amotekun as a template.

You can't see it cos you are blind to the truth. Go to the front page, fulanis still killed an Igbo man and threatened to come back to kill more.

You are a refugee, slaving away in another person's land, yet and you don't want your people in Igboland to enjoy the security you enjoy. If everyone was stupid and refused to secure themselves, would you be safe where you are?
