Amidst Operation Python Dance, IPOB Grounds Enugu With Mega Protest Against Buhari's Visit
A mega protest has just been ignited by the Indigenous People of Biafra in Enugu, Biafra land, as Biafrans pour out their rage over a planned visit of Nigeria president, Muhammadu Buhari.
The animosity between Biafrans and president Buhari has increased tremendously ever since his inception into office, resulting from the arrest and incarceration of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu since October 14, 2015; fuelled by excessive clamp down on Biafra activists by the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
In November, Amnesty International reported that since August 2015, more than 150 Biafra activists have been extrajudicially killed by Nigeria security agencies while thousands of others have been subjected to enforced disappearance and continuous incarceration.
Notwithstanding, Biafrans believes that the toll is much higher, with claims that not less than 2000 Biafrans have been murdered with gross impunity at the order of President Buhari.
The Nigerian government led by Muhammadu Buhari has refused to investigate and prosecute those involved in mowing down Biafra activists, thereby justifying the insinuations that the human rights abuses are incited by the government.
Biafrans had earlier issued a stern warning to Buhari not to step his foot into Biafra land or risk being disgraced.
According to reactions, Biafrans believes it is a sacrilege for the Nigerian president to walk on the blood of Biafrans which his trigger-happy security henchmen spilled across the streets of Biafra land.
As a result, a mega protest is currently ongoing in Enugu where Buhari is expected to arrive today to declare open a 'security and economic summit'.
Family Writers correspondence, Egwuatu Chuks and Kingsley Chibuzor are on ground to give live updates on the ongoing protest.
More details coming shortly..
