Military invasion of Southeast communities not working, says HURIWA
Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), said yesterday that the invasion by the military of Southeast communities with its many casualties was not working.
It said the killing of members of the security forces by hoodlums was an intolerable crime against humanity, challenging operatives working within the intelligence community to arrest the perpetrators of the unmitigated violence.
HURIWA said President Muhammadu Buhari should allow the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to speak to Igbo people to affirm or deny the report by his lawyers that he had ordered an end to the sit-at-home order, which Mr. Simon Ekpa, an alleged follower of the detained leader, disputed and ordered for forceful implementation of the so-called sit-at-home order.
“The live television broadcast by Mazi Kanu on the lingering controversy around the order will assuage the suspended animation and suspicions by some persons loyal to Ekpa that Kanu did not order an end to the economically stagnating sit-at-home order in the Southeast.”
