The International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law, Intersociety on Wednesday accuses the Nigeria Army of running an ethnic cleansing agenda in the south east region of Nigeria.
According to Vanguard News, the intersociety said while they are still studying the situation in Orlu, “we are not ruling out the repeat of Obigbo”.
A statement by the Chairman of its Board, Emeka Umeagbalasi said: “The truth is that Nigerian Army is running an ethnic cleansing agenda. It has no other assignment than to track and massacre Igbo, claiming that their personnel were attacked and killed.
“But just last week as reported by a leading online media, seven soldiers, including the leader of the team, a captain were ambushed and killed by Fulani bandits in a forest located in Nasarawa State. They were killed while on a mission to rescue some kidnapped villagers. Yet heaven did not fall and the communities in that area are inhabited and going about their businesses.
“But here in Igbo land, it is genocidal and Jihadist on the part of the Nigerian Army. Just imagine how the entire church building belonging to a member of the African Instituted Churches was destroyed and scores of its officials and laypersons abducted by soldiers of the 34 Brigade, Owerri and later dumped at the State CID, Owerri. The 34 Brigade is commanded by a Hausa-Fulani, Brig Gen Ibrahim Tukura"
