The leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafria (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has expressed concern over the spate of alleged extra-judicial killings of seven youths in Imo by regional security outfit in the South East, Ebubeagu.

Kanu’s lead Counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor made the allegation in Press statement on routine visit to Kanu in Department of State Services (DSS) Custody Monday in Abuja where sued for restraint on the part of the State sponsored militia group who engage in these unprovoked/unjustified killings.

The separatist leader also implored IPOBs to maintain absolute peace and calm even on the face of the unprovoked attacks/killings and urged the security agents to be guided by their Rules of engagement and international best practices to avoid hacking innocent citizens in the process.

He seized the opportunity to remind everyone once again, to note, that the script being acted is not far from being targeted at deploying measures that will bring two brothers into needless confrontation.

According to him, “Onyendu (Nnamdi Kanu) was however, deeply traumatized and saddened by the spate of extra-judicial killings going on in the South-East region. Consequently, he urged for restraint on the part of the State sponsored Militia group who engage in these unprovoked/unjustified killings.

“Onyendu reaffirms that he has been consistent with his admonition for total peace in the South-East region, devoid of all forms of criminalities. Hence, he expressed worry that those who are purportedly fighting this crime are unfortunately, the people who are now perpetrating heinous crimes against the people they are statutorily mandated to protect”, he said.

Onyendu was enthused by the courage, industry, and intelligence demonstrated by the Federal High Court, Awka in the landmark Judgement delivered on my case on the 22nd day of July 2022 against the Nigeria Police Force, the DSS, the Nigerian Army and Chukwuka Chizorom Ofoegbu (Ijele Speaks). Onyendu extolled the judiciary for reaffirming the age-old belief that the “Court is the last hope of the common man”.

The statement added that the visit was conducted in accordance with the new guideline introduced by the DSS last week, which is in continued violation of the Court-Ordered guideline. Nevertheless, we met with Onyendu individually.
