The Arewa Youths Integrity Forum (AYIF) has condemned what it described as the desperate attempt to exonerate the real culprits behind the killing of Hausa-Fulani residents in Abia State, saying the development is alarming and criminally intended to shield the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leaders who committed the atrocities from justice.
The Department of State Services (DSS) had indicted IPOB in the death of the five men following the discovery of mass graves with scores of yet to be identified bodies in a forest in the state.
The group said it is lending its voice to the demand for the prosecution of all those involved in the heinous act by the appropriate security agencies that must also confront IPOB collaborators who seek to use such provocation to trigger widespread unrests in Nigeria.
A statement issued by National President of AYIF, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar warned that shielding the perpetrators from justice would encourage more killings as they would be encouraged to consider their murderous acts the new normal.
The statement explained that making the killers face the law is important to reassure other ethnic nationalities and discourage them from embarking on reprisals.
The statement said: “The Abia State Government has continued to deny the killings of the northerners who were going about their peaceful activities in the state before they were allegedly kidnapped and gruesomely buried alive by the IPOB members in that state.
“Unfortunately, rather than condemning this heinous act against humanity, the Abia state government has resorted to defending the murderous Independent People of Biafra and its leadership over these war crimes. It is therefore becoming glaring that the real actors behind the activities of IPOB are gradually being unfolded and in due course it shall be uncovered to the chagrin of all Nigerians.”
Abubakar said AYIF is not surprised at the state government’s denial but that it will continue to urge Nigerians to remain calm in the face of the provocation by Biafra separatists who have set aside international conventions to embrace criminality in the name of agitations for independence.

DeleteBlood thirsty Arewa youth Fulani Herdsmen have killed over 700 persons between January and March 2016 did you demand for justice? Agatu over 400 etc. Nigeria belongs to Nigerians. DSS Director Daura's plan to extend terrorism to the southern parts and meddle belt in the name of Fulani herdsmen will be meet by stiff resistance. by the way, the DSS story has been discovered to be an exposure of the crime committed by the military against IPOB protesters in January that have been missing.
ReplyDelete****THE IMPLICATIONS OF SHEDDING HUMAN BLOOD:****
ReplyDelete*Numbers 35:33-34).
==="So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of HIM WHO SHED IT."
*Jeremy 22:3
==="Whoever sheds human blood, BY HUMANS shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind.
*Leviticus 18:25
==="And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants."Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place
# If you shed blood,somehow, one day your blood will be shed,certainly.
# Blood shedding pollutes the land.
#When a land is defiled through pollution, it's people will begin to emmigrate to other lands because there is a spiritual vomiting.
THEREFORE,YOU WHO GO ABOUT WASTING AWAY LIVES YOI DIDNT CREATE,AND HIDE UNDER TRIBE,RELIGION OR ETHNICITY, YOU WILL MEET YOUR OWN DISASTROUS END.
I perceive eminent crisis in the near future. I am not a prophet of doom but an instigated crisis if the leadership of Nigeria are not guided...
