“And many unknown detention and secret execution facilities runned my murderous Security Agencies of this Government where they were detained incomminicado and most often declared missing.
“If DSS can deny many disappearance of other affected Nigerians they cannot deny the disappearance of IPOB members across South Eastern Region because we have records of our members. The disappeared IPOB members were usually tracked by DSS, Abducted and detained in any military barracks or police stations. Few days later DSS, Police and Army will deny not having them in their custody and those people were never seen again.
“The DSS must tell the world the whereabout of many Biafra citizens they adopted many years and months who were never seen till date.
“Nigeria Government set up non-uniform special joint security kidnapping squad who terrorise our people, kidnap any perceived IPOB member or a sympathizer. The victims are usually kidnapped on the road whisked into their vehicles to unknown destination or slaughtered on the way. Some victims were kidnapped in their houses in the middle of the night by the same terrorist sqaud. They carry out this Gestapo operations to avoid being identified but they don’t know that our people usually followed them to the last point. Some of the victims who were lucky to get to stations were secretly murdered in cold blood and their organs harvested.
For instance, DSS Office in Umuahia and RRS Aba North both in Abia State has a large underground warehouse where they butcher and dismember the body parts of our people. Women among them are repeatedly raped and if anyone gets inpregnated she is taken to forced abortion by these terrorist security.
“If the Nigeria Government and their terrorist security squad continue to deny, the families of those kidnapped will be ready to testify.
“Currently, there is an ongoing ethnic cleaning been carried out by Nigeria 14 Military Brigade in Ohafia, Abia State under the Commanding Officer, GENERAL ADEGOTE ADETUYI.
On Monday August 29, 2022, the Commanding Officer and his soldiers from 14 Military Brigade Ohafia we’re seen snapping people’s shops and compounds. He promised to shoot down every living thing in Ohafia within seven days because the villagers are resisting Fulani kidnapping gangs from operating in their Communities. The soldiers threats was to encourage fulani to continue kidnapping in villages of Ebem Ohafia, Amaekpo, Amangwu and Asaga.
IPOB accused the Nigerian military uniform of going from house to house breaking through homes and arresting some youths within communities in Ohafia. Those found to have Igbo tribal marks are branded IPOB and ESN Operatives which may attract instant assassination. These terrorists claimed they don’t know that majority of Igbo people have tribal marks given to them from childhood. Tomorrow the same compromised terrorists Military will deny carrying out such unwarranted massacre of Igbos.
IPOB urged Amnesty International and International Community to intervene to prevent State sponsored ethnic cleaning of Biafrans by Nigeria Government in Biafra territory. IPOB quest for Biafra Nation through UN supervised Referendum is a lawful and global democratic process which doesn’t call for genocide against Biafrans.
