Following the ongoing military
operations in the South East, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu has petitioned the European Union, UN.
The letter was addressed to the
Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, the European Union
High Commission, the Presidents of United States of America, Russia and Israel.
In the petition, the IPOB leader
urged the UN, EU, US and other countries on the invasion of the military in the
region.
Kanu stated that while innocent
blood are being wasted in the region, the 1999 Constitution as amended did not
allow the deployment of soldiers in the region in a manner presently done by
the federal government.
According to Kanu without the
intervention of the comity of nations, the killings and torture would continue.
The letter reads: “Unarmed
civilians largely made up members of the Indigenous People of Biafra are now
being tortured and murdered in cold blood on a daily basis.”
“We have no doubt that the
undisclosed reason for deploying troops to south eastern states by the
President Buhari-led administration is to attack unarmed and defenseless
members of the Indigenous People of Biafra who are merely exercising their
constitutional guaranteed rights to self-determination.
“The situation in the south east
of Nigeria is serious and demand your urgent action Sir.
“The modus operandi of the
Operation Python Dance II presently adopted by the military deployed in the
south east offends all known rules of professional engagement even in a war
zone.”
