do not mean to undermine the Shi’a Muslim cleric and head of Nigeria’s Islamic
Movement (IMN) but the fact remains that he allowed unfettered access from the
same politicians who have kept him in his current state. Muhammadu Buhari and
Nasir El-rufai solicited and paid homage to El Zakzaky in his home during their
electioneering campaign and immediately they clinched the political power they
desperately sought he was seen as a huge threat to them because of his
outspokenness and ability to garner followers.
In
December 2015, the murderous Nigeria Army raided his residence in Zaria, killed
thousands of his followers, his sons were murdered, buildings and structures of
the IMN were demolished and looted; Sheikh al-Zakzaky and his wife were fatally
shot, arrested and still under detention in Abuja even with a valid court
ordering for his release. His followers have protested peacefully but are
continually brutalized by the Nigeria security forces.
The
home of the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was recently invaded by the
Nigeria Army with a clear mission to assassinate him. The resistance by the
security team and other able bodied Biafrans in the home of Nnamdi Kanu
thwarted the plans of the soldiers who became frustrated and began to shoot
directly into the residential area with live ammunition. This act of barbarism
by the Nigeria Army resulted in the injuring of scores of Biafrans with
bullets. The soldiers have now moved on to Aba road in Umuahia to mount a
blockade, shooting sporadically in the bid to frighten the residents.
he
spokesperson of the Army has released the usual statement of lies accusing
those at the residence of the IPOB leader for trying to block the soldiers’ procession
and show of force in the vicinity. This is the same fabrication used against El
Zakzaky before his home was raided. Everyone who has been to the home of Nnamdi
Kanu knows that his neighborhood is very calm and quiet, devoid of any form of
violence or restriction of people’s movement or businesses.
Video
evidence clearly shows that the Nigeria Army ambushed the road and street
leading to the home of Nnamdi Kanu with Armored Personnel Carriers (APC)
mounted with RPG and also with several Hilux vans containing combat ready
soldiers for guerilla warfare. The plan was to instigate a clash with members
of IPOB in order to tag them terrorists and then abduct Nnamdi Kanu for
assassination. The plan failed woefully because as they continued to shoot,
Biafrans resisted them without carrying carry guns or shooting a single bullet.
The
Nigeria Army has surely confirmed the views of many that the commencement of
the “Operation Python Dance 2” is purposely for the massacre of the people of
Biafra. While the Nigeria soldiers are shooting down innocent and defenseless
Biafrans in the South East, undeterred BokoHaram terrorists are invading IDP
camps shooting defenseless citizens, killing soldiers and destroying Nigeria
jet fighters. Muhammadu Buhari and the cabal in government have jettisoned the
fight against terrorism and have declared a total war on the people of Biafra
seeking the right to Self-determination as enshrined in the UN Charter.
The
right to Self-determination is inalienable and the call for referendum is in no
way a call for war but the most civilized form of settling a dispute.
Unsurprised, the brides of the northern Islamic caliphate- the South East
governors have remained silent while the federal government continues to
militarize the region but they should not forget so quickly that they are also
not safe from whatever destruction that will follow.
Chief
of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Burutai is still in euphoria over the successful
invasion and destruction of the home of El Zakzaky and strongly believes he can
replicate same against Nnamdi Kanu. Burutai should know that those behind the
IPOB leader are better sophisticated and intelligent than BokoHaram which he
and his battalions of men have not been able to tame. For the record, if any
harm befalls Nnamdi Kanu, the Nigeria government should be prepared for the
radicalization of the already tensed populace including personnel of the
Nigeria armed forces. Muhammadu Buhari must not be allowed to instigate a
crisis that will surely overwhelm him and his Hausa/Fulani Muslim stock
soldiers.
