A gathering of pro-democracy and
civil rights groups in the five states of the South-East geopolitical zone
under the auspices of Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights & Good
Governance Organizations, SBCHROs, has published the result of its fieldwork
which returned Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state as the Worst Serving
Governor in the South-East.
The exhaustive project also
singled out the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as the most
unpopular and unfriendly federal government among the people of the South-East,
as it named the Nigerian army and its 82 Division in Enugu as the most
atrocious security organization in the South-East.
These results were recently
released during a press briefing in Onitsha, Anambra state attended by: Emeka
Umeagbalasi, Dr. MaryRose Umeh, and Barr Jacinta Ezinwanne for Intersociety;
Aloysius Emeka Attah, Chairman, CLO, Southeast Zone; Peter Onyegiri of Centre

Below is the full list of those

Most Atrocious Security
Organization in the Southeast Zone
Nigerian Army and its Enugu 82
Division (shot and killed in two years-2015-2017 over 370 unarmed and
defenseless citizens of the Southeast and maimed over 400 others)
Most Regime Atrocity Perpetrator
in the Southeast Zone
Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai

estimated 370 defenseless citizens of the Southeast Zone and maiming of over
400 others)
Most Atrocious Police Special
Squad of the Year 2017 in the Southeast Zone
The Special Anti Robbery Squad
(SARS) formations in Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States as well as the
Zone 9 SARS formation in Umuahia; killed average of estimated 35 detained
citizens monthly and 420 annually in the Zone. The killings are perpetrated
through criminal processes of extra jus (beyond the law), extra legal (beyond
what the written criminal law provides) and extra judicial (beyond court or
judicial pronouncement or verdict); arising from racial profiling and
unprofessional crime detection and criminal investigation management. For more
details, see Intersociety’s expert report: The Untold Story of Ezu River Police
SARS Killings (July 2017).
Most Lopsidedly Composed Security
Organization in the Southeast Zone
The Nigerian Army & Navy
(most, if not all their key heads in the Zone are members of Hausa-Fulani
Muslims). For more details, see Intersociety’s statement of 19th October 2017;
titled: The Retun Of “Glover Hausas” In The Nigerian Army: Exposing 95% Dominance
Of Key Army Formations In Igbo Land By Northern Muslim Officers
Most Corrupt & Incompetent
Policing Organization of the Year 2017 in the Southeast Zone
The Nigeria Police Force and its
key formations in the Southeast under IGP Ibrahim Idris (generated, illicitly,
over N14 billion or $45 million between September 2017 and January 2018 from
Southeast roadblocks using over 2900 police roadblocks raised in early
September 2017). See Intersociety’s statement of 5th September 2017 on:
Unchecked Police And Army Extortion In Southeast Nigeria: How IGP And His
Cohorts Will Pocket (already pocketed) N14.1Billion In Five Months (Sep
2017-Jan 2018) From 2900 Roadblocks Using False Biafra Insecurity, etc.
Destitute of the Year 2017 in the
Southeast Zone
The Destitute of Uga Junction
Pedestrian Bridge in Onitsha (represents the plight of the destitute population
roaming the streets of the Southeast Zone without government care and welfare).
Governors of the Zone are called upon to urgently address the plight of the
destitute population especially their children who are out of school. One of
the core ways to address this is by enacting the Destitute & Disability
Rights & Welfare Laws by the Executive and Legislative Arms in the
Southeast.
The Slain & the Disappeared
of the Year 2017 in the Southeast Zone
Estimated 100 defenseless
citizens of the Zone killed or made to disappear by the Nigerian Army in
September 2017; in addition to over 270 others earlier shot and killed; with
most of their bodies remained missing till date. Their killers must be fished
out and severely punished by the Federal Government or relevant international
justice groups no matter how long it takes.
The Maimed or Wounded of the Year
2017 in the Southeast Zone
Over 400 victims of military shootings
in the Zone. They must be adequately compensated with their shooters fished out
and punished severely.
Persecuted Citizens of the Year
2017 in the Southeast Zone
Include Citizens Chidiebere
Onwudiwe, Dave Nwawuisi, Benjamin Mmadubugwu, Bright Chimezie and over 82
others including minors and married women presently languishing in various
prisons across the country without formal trial; in connection with nonviolent
pro Biafra agitations. Others are those in the category of “dark figures of
crime” or arrested and detained citizens without public notice or records. All
pro Igbo-Biafra detainees in Nigeria must be de-criminalized, released and have
their phantom charges dropped by the Buhari Administration.
