The Ohanaeze Youth Council has condemned what it called molesting of Easterners travelling home for Christmas and new year celebrations at Onitsha Head Bridge, Anambra State allegedly by soldiers from the 302 Battalion of the Nigerian army in Onitsha.
In a statement by the National President of the Council, Mazi Okechukwu, the council said: “The officers and men of the 302 Battalion of the Nigerian Army at Onitsha appear to have a different agenda in that town. They appear to be there for [alleged] ethnic cleansing.
“In the past one month, these raw soldiers have [allegedly] killed more than 20 unarmed Igbo youths. This time around, they waylay Igbos returning home for Christmas and New Year holidays and rough-handle a lot of them.
“We can no longer tolerate this brazen act on our own land. We are neither at war nor a conquered people. Mr. President should intervene in this matter before it turns into another thing. We have the right to protect the dignity of our people.
“The army is provoking us by their brazen acts in the South East and South South. We hope there is no cabal in the Nigerian Army that is pursuing an ethnic agenda and cleansing against Ndigbo.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteSo how come the state government or elected officials have not observed this atrocities...because it doesnt exist. This is such a busy time, somebody should have a picture or video
ReplyDeleteBecause they are coward. The molestation is an order from above (However below the Almighty). I am a traveler and can confirm it is true. Tell me who cares if an ordinary powerless citizen is being molested.
DeleteI call on everyone to purchase spy hardware to tape this molestation and go to court, However what will the powerless Judiciary do to give Justice. During Yar Adua's / Jonathan I trust the Judiciary but now the Judiciary is either a spokesman of the government or a body whose orders will be disobeyed by the FG
