Biafra: Human Rights Commission Cautions Military Over Brutality In S-East
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has cautioned the Military and other security agencies over its on-going invasion of parts of South East and South South geo-political zones of the country under an operation tagged: ‘Python Dance II’.
The Commission warned them “to desist from acts capable of causing tension, public disturbance, fear and sense of insecurity”.
In a statement signed by its Acting Executive Secretary, Oti Ovrawah, the Commission tasked the Nigerian Army on rules of engagement; saying instead of heightening the fear of insecurity, it should “rather ensure the respect of the fundamental rights of all citizens”.
The statement also said the Commission was disturbed by media reports on allegations by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Abia state chapter, that Nigerian Soldiers on Operation Python Dance II, attacked them, “amidst other claims of human rights violations”.
“The Commission will collaborate with the Nigerian Police and other relevant authorities to ensure a timely and thorough investigation into the allegations with a view to ensuring that informed decisions are made and appropriate steps taken to have culprits punished and victims redressed in accordance with the law.
“Meanwhile, the Commission commends the government of Abia state for the steps taken so far to remove fear and forestall further breakdown of law and order saying that it is important to reinforce people’s confidence in the ability of the government to protect them without violation of their rights.
“We call on the Nigerian military to leverage on the series of training the Commission has offered them on mainstreaming human rights into their operations especially with the emerging human rights challenges, adding that they are expected to carry out their duties according to international best practices,” the statement reads.

Kanu should come and show his military might as he says earlier. Why is he running away from his responsibility?

Whoever that supports this act of tyranny from Buhari; whosoever applauds this madness and show of wickedness should have his brain examined. Even during military era, I have never seen this manner of Human Rights violations than this. It is highly regrettable and unacceptable. But one thing is sure, Buhari is unknowingly bringing Biafra restoration close!!

The entire world is seeing and saying nothing, injustice continue to rape up Nigeria. Unbelievable, in this modern age a country is waging war against its part for just taking part in what is lawful ( asking for self determination) unbelievable in this scientific age a country is using it military to torture and kill its citizens unjustly and the world keeps mute, the international human right organisation keeps mute. If there was no social media in 1967 to expose the atrocities of the Nigerian government before the full genocide, what about today? The world can’t deny seeing all these till when it goes to a full military confrontation and they will tag and call us the oppressed names like rebel, terrorist, militant etc.I’m using this medium to remind the UN that our patience is dying out. We are calling on the international community to live up to its expectations. We are tired of all these killings, torture and human right abuses being levied on us by the Nigerian Islamic government. We are not Muslims

Bashiru Usman may this same calamity come upon you and your generation. May you and your people who brought this evil upon my people in biafra land never know peace. Wherever you are bashiru usman you and your people have murdered sleep, you will never know sleep and this evil sword will never depart from your family from this day, i have spoken and so shall it be except you repent. For the fact you supported the killing of biafrans who did nothing but ratter they are asking for their freedom, you and your tribes will neve never go skull free. The God of vengeance must avenge for the blood of this innocent once you hausa fulani spilled their blood.

Segun Olusegun. I think you share the same DNA with Obasanjo and your days are already numbered.. The day Olusegun Obasanjo would die is the same day you´re going to die. I´m from Dublin and i have done business with both Igbo´s and Yoruba but its the Igbo´s that i believed on more because they are honest, hard working, serious and truthful in life than most of my Yoruba buyers who are still oweing me till date while some claim to have left Ireland but its all lies. Yoruba are not confident people thats why they always fail and hating on the Igbo´s. When you see someone who´s better than you, you try to learn from that person rather than envy and jealousy.. Yoruba can never grow bigger than Igbo´s until they accept the fact that Igbo´s are the heart of Africa.
