The apex youth organization in Igboland, Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC has reacted to the recent attack on Nigeria Defence Academy, NDA in Kaduna, saying officers from Igbo land, particularly Christians were the main target, cautioning Igbo and Christian security officers in various departments in Nigeria to consistently stay on guard.
OYC National President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka made this known in an interactive session with newsmen in Owerri on Tuesday, August 31, 2021, after extended security meeting of the council as regards the rising insecurity challenges in Nigeria, a release obtained by ABN TV says.
Comrade Igboayaka noted that the killing of MC Okoronkwo by Bandits at Nigeria Defense Academy Kaduna was clear proof that the Igbos and Christian security officers working for Nigeria government are targeted for extinction, annihilation, maiming, and slaughtering, accusing people he described as Fulani militia, Bandits and Boko Haram as being responsible.

According to the visibly angry youth leader, the gruesome killing of Lt. MC Okoronkwo is launching of ethnic cleansing of Igbo and Christian in the military, Navy, Airforce, police, and other security forces in Nigeria.
Hear him: “The manner of killing of Lt. Chinecherem Okoronkwo and how the bandit displayed the video of his corpse is quite inciting to Ndigbo and Christian community, yet for them it’s calculating attempt by the Government actors (the sponsors of this criminal elements), to humiliate Ndigbo and Christians. This Manner of Killing wouldn’t stop in military, Navy, Airforce police, and other security departments if the Igbo and Christian security agents keep mute without any proactive measure.
“The killing of Igbo and Christian Force men in Nigeria security department will hence take different dimensions, some will look like an accident, mistake, banditry, kidnapping killing and dying in disguise of fighting Boko Haram, Igboayaka revealed.
Speaking further, he lamented thus: “It’s regrettable that over 30 million Igbo youths, Governors, Senators, Federal Representative members, Ministers, Senior officers in Nigeria security department of Igbo extraction have not raise questions, as to investigate the circumstances leading to Lt. MC Okoronkwo death”, he wailed.
He, therefore, charged all Christian leaders, Catholics, Anglican, and Methodist Bishops, all other General Overseers of the teaming churches to awaken from their slumber, warning against envisaged, impending assassination of more Christians in various sectors in a couple of weeks, if nothing is done to avert same.
“All Christian leaders, Catholics, Anglican, and Methodist Bishops, all other General Overseers of the teaming churches must wake up now because in subsequent weeks and months more Igbos and Christian security officers maybe assassinated.
“They are working to weaken the internal and external security of Nigeria as they have penetrated even the security intelligence.
“What’s going on in Nigeria is not a mere insecurity of societal crime, but there is a state calculated crime against Ndigbo and Christians at large in Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, Comrade Igboayaka revealed that one of the decisions reached by OYC during the just concluded security meeting was a clarion call for Christian leaders in Nigeria “to urgently convoke Security Council summit and prepare for the worst ahead or be ready to be eliminated by the state wicked actors in disguise of Bandit, Fulani herdsmen killers, Kidnappers, and Boko Haram”, he advised.
