One of the lawyers to be the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor has decried the gruesome murder of 14 able-bodied men by people he said are EbubeAgu militia.
Ejiofor in a statement said the victims were murdered around Mgbidi area of Imo State while returning from a traditional wedding ceremony last weekend.
He described the act as barbaric and totally condemnable, demanding for an immediate probe.
Titled, “A State that eats up her own is DOOMED!!!” Ejiofor in his statement wondered why EbubeAgu set up to protect the people are busy killing same people it was set up to protect.
He said, “It is with a very heavy and broken heart that I demand for an immediate probe into the gruesome killings of 14 unarmed and innocent civilians by the Ebubeagu outfit set up by the Imo State Government.
“We reliably gathered that 14 able bodied men who were all in their primes, were gruesomely murdered by the Imo State Ebubeagu “Security Outfit”, while returning from a traditional wedding ceremony this past weekend.
“They were waylaid by the trigger happy and soulless Ebubeagu militia and gruesomely murdered, around Mgbidi, in Imo state.
“This barbaric act is totally condemnable, unacceptable and an unforgivable crime against humanity!
“How did we get here??? How can a state hack up her young ones in these most gruesome manner? What is the difference between these monstrous Ebubeagu militia and those they were purportedly set up to eradicate?The difference is that the killer Ebubeagu militia has the backing, the license and authority of the State Government to kill without being called to question.
“Enough should be enough!
“Every well meaning individual must rise up and condemn this atrocious act, and further seek justice by calling the Imo State Government to question. The perpetrators of this heinous crime must be brought to book!
“Injustice to one, is injustice to all!!!”
