This August; Biafrans and friends all over the world will commence another round of phone campaign to officials of United States of America (USA); European Union (EU) and United Nation (UN). 

This is the 11th month Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra has illegally been detained for exercising his rights within the confines of the law. This right in question is the right to self-determination which is widely viewed as a sacred right. This is also a man who refused to build an army but built a radio station through which freedom of speech defined the civil approach he has used in discharging the activities for the restoration of Sovereign state of Biafra. 

This right which was declared in 2007 by UN gave free indigenous people right to aspire or agitate for self-determination. It is understandable that without this declaration, Nnamdi Kanu would not have stood firm to ask for self-determination. By virtue of this declaration, he has committed no crime ever known to man for asking for the restoration of Biafra but yet he languishes in prison for cherishing the UN declaration. 

We the people of Biafra feel betrayed by the custodians of international declarations or treaties. Freedom of speech was abused and imprisoned in Nigeria and by virtue of the continued silence of UN and EU; the UN 2007 declaration appears more like a fraud to the people of Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu is a victim of international law, and international communities are expected to intervene. Nnamdi Kanu suffering for his loyalty to the call made by UN is the worst discrimination of our time. He has been tortured and denied the right to his freedom, denied the right to fair hearing and denied the right to opinion or view. 

This is happening because, in 2007, a declaration by UN told him he has the freedom to agitate and will be protected by the guarantee contained in such declaration. But today the child of their act or charter is left to die, but Biafrans won’t let that be as we call upon the mother of the charter. Despite this condemnable act by Nigeria which has led to the death of thousands of innocent Biafran youths protesting for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, Biafrans have remained peaceful and law abiding. 

Since the arrest and continued detention of their leader; Biafrans have come under attack and despite this attack, they have remained resolute and never retreating or surrendering, a move that has increased the military action ordered against them by Buhari. Biafrans have no weapon to fight as 1967 genocide still lives in their memory, and they are being killed for being Biafrans. Genocide is currently going on in Biafra with Islamic extremism taking a new shape since the inception of the Islamic government of Nigeria. 

Fulani herdsmen laying siege and Saudi black water mercenary deployed alongside Nigerian soldiers in Biafra land. While our leader is incarcerated, they are sufficiently slaughtering us. We shall continue to call and disturb the world and relevant authorities till we are heard and rescued from extermination. We say no to war or violence thus we today call the world to our rescue. 

This current situation in Biafra land is to form part of the message in the phone campaign to the US, EU and UN officials. Biafrans and friends of Biafra all over the world are expected to be part of this campaign. Everyone is to call and declare to them the plight of Biafrans and why they should help to save the souls of Biafrans (SOS). 

The numbers to call are Us Congress direct number +1 202_224_3121 & +1 202_225_4316 United Nations Office at Geneva +4122_917_4635 Time to call is (3pm to 11pm Biafran Time) 

Biafra is going places, and there is nothing the enemies can do about it. Use the following prompts when you call: “Hello, my name is (--------); I’m calling to appeal to the President (or the relevant government official) to: 

1. This is the 10th month Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has illegally been in detention, a leader that built a radio station instead of an army, fought for self-determination with words of truth instead of guns and bombs. Ask them to help in working to free the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu – the prisoner of conscience. Tell them how he was illegally abducted for exercising his right under United Nations rights of Indigenous peoples and self-determination. 

2. Investigate the continued arrest, execution and most recent killing of peaceful and none violent Biafrans at their last Biafra Fallen Heroes Remembrance Day Rally by Nigeria Police and military; and to punish those found to have played a part in committing the atrocious act. 

3. Plead with them to force Nigeria forces of occupation – the military and Police – as well as to stop the Buhari led Nigerian government to stop the murder of Biafrans. 

4. Tell them how Biafrans are made to suffer in their land by the evil Nigerian state; and that Biafrans are looking up to them, to use their good offices in helping for the restoration and independence of Biafra. (Thank you!) Support the restoration and independence of Biafra. (Thank you!)

Spirits Of The Dead Victims Of State Killings In Igbo Land Invoked To Eternally Haunt Their Killers, Aiders & Abetters
(Onitsha Nigeria, 10th of July 2016)-The souls and spirits of as much as 140 unarmed, defenceless, nonviolent and innocent citizens of Nigeria of Southeast and South-south extractions, mostly composed of Igbo sons and a number of Igbo daughters between the ages of 20years and 35years, who were brutally massacred in a broad day light on 30th of May 2016 by the Buhari administration, aided by the Government of Willie Obiano in Anambra State have been invoked to eternally go after their killers and enemies of the Igbo Nation as well as those who aided and abetted the gruesome massacre until they pay for heinous crimes and atrocities committed. This is courtesy of the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE (a global association of Igbo Women of age born and married in Igbo Land).
While between 90 and 100 bodies of these murdered Igbo citizens were interred by the Government of Anambra State and the security forces in most dishourable, abominable, disrespectful and despicable manner, the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE on 6th of July 2016, organized a memorial remembrance event in accordance with Igbo burial/funeral rites or tradition for the purpose of sanctifying, honouring and respecting the dead as well as respecting the sanctity of human lives. Other victims of Igbo killings in Igbo Land including those killed during the IPOB nonviolent protest and jubilation marches on 2nd December and 17th of December 2015 in Onitsha; and IPOB peaceful protests in Aba on 18th of January, 29th of January and 9th of February 2016 as well as the Ukpabi-Nimbo massacre of 25th of April 2016 by the Fulani Janjaweed; were also remembered using the Igbo’s four sacred traditional market days/birthdays of Nkwo, Eke, Orie, and Afor.   

Their spirits were invoked to go after their killers from generation to generation with afflictions of their own choice until those who massacred them or conspired to massacre them pay for heinous crimes and atrocities committed. The OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE told Intersociety that they were angry and disappointed over coordinated and conspiratorial silence of accomplished and prominent men in Igbo Land particularly its political office holders over ceaseless massacre of young and futuristic sons and daughters of the Igbo Race, leading to their question: where are our men in the midst of all these atrocities and heinous crimes?
Memorial Interment Of Victims Of Igbo Heroes Day Massacres

It is recalled that in the early morning hours and early evening hours of 30th of May 2016, the Nigerian security forces, acting under the death-code of President Muhammadu Buhari, gubernatorially aided and abetted by Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, carried a broad day massacre operations, leading to instant death of as much as 140 unarmed and nonviolent citizens. While over 110 were massacred at Nkpor and its environs including five identified citizens or bodies, over 25 were massacred at Asaba in a spill over massacre. The Asaba victims included five identified citizens or bodies and three policemen who were mobbed by a provoked crowd while shooting indiscriminately at a gathered and nonviolent crowd at Abraka area of Asaba. Over 140 others were terminally shot and injured in the massacre including 29 identified at Asaba and 50 identified at Nkpor. The perpetrators of the heinous acts are soldiers of the Onitsha Military Cantonment under the command of Col Issah Maigari Abdullahi, with support from the 82nd Division of the Nigerian Army, Enugu. The massacre operation was specifically led and coordinated by Major M.I. Ibrahim of the Nigeria Military Police. The Anambra State Police Command and its Delta State counterpart, as well as the Nigerian Navy, Ogbaru Post, etc also participated actively in the massacre.

The names of four identified dead victims massacred in Asaba are Citizens Hero Vincent, Okeke Obiora, Apam Oyi and Nwabueze Uzonna and those of Nkpor are Citizens Chidi Ozioko, Ernest Uzor and Chika Ukah. Two dead victims are yet to be identified by their families as at our last checks earlier this month at the Crown Hospital, Nkpor. Bodies of two massacred victims found along Nkpor-Umuoji Road were later smashed into pieces by motorists until their remains were gathered by sympathizers and shallowly buried on Tuesday, 1st of June 2016 in the outer part of the Nkpor Community Cemetery along Nkpor-Umuoji Road. The memorial coffin of the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE, representing all Igbo young sons and daughters massacred in Igbo Land by the Buhari administration who were disrespectfully and abominably buried in secret mass graves, was also lowered and interred beside the grave containing the two smashed bodies under reference.

In Asaba, the name of one of the 20 massacred citizens whose body was later traced by his family to the Federal Medical Centre in Asaba is Citizen Chinedu Udoye from Nanka Community in Anambra State. The 20 dead bodies including late Citizen Chinedu Udoye and excluding three policemen, who died as a result of injuries received from mob actions from a provoked crowd; were moved out of the Federal Medical Center in Asaba on 21st of June 2016 and buried in secret mass graves. Late Citizen Chinedu Udoye’s wife; Chinwe, confirmed this when she spoke to Intersociety recently. The lawyer hired by the Udoye’s family had earlier approached the authorities of the Federal Medical Center, Asaba, seeking the release of late Citizen Chinedu Udoye’s corpse for burial, but all to no avail, until his corpse, alongside others were removed and buried dishonourably on the said date by agents of the Buhari administration in secret mass graves.

Colonel Sheriff Aremu during the familiarization tour of the GOC to Onitsha Military Cantonment in Anambra on Friday, September 18, 2015 | NAN Photo


It is recalled further that soldiers of the Onitsha Military Cantonment had on 30th of May 2016, massacred late Citizen Chinedu Udoye and 19 others in Asaba and handed their lifeless bodies over to the Delta State Police Command, which dumped them at the FMC, Asaba until their recent removal from the FMC mortuary and secret burial. Late Citizen Udoye and six others were first shot at their terminal regions and later shot at their chest region, leading to their untimely and violent death. Other bodies of the massacred citizens were later dumped at the FMC, bringing their number to 20, excluding four citizens murdered by soldiers same day in Asaba whose bodies were recovered by their families and taken to safety.  Their names are Citizens Hero Vincent, Okeke Obiora, Apam Oyi and Nwabueze Uzonna.

 An eight months pregnant woman, who parked her car by the road side of the Asaba Expressway to dodge raining live bullets and soldiers’ shooting spree, was traced to her car by soldiers and shot at her stomach inside her car and by the time the sympathizers were attracted by her screaming and offered assistance, she had lost much blood. She was rushed to the FMC in Asaba where she gave up, leading to operation to separate her unborn child. Pictures of her were taken by some sympathizers and later posted on social media later in the evening of the massacre.
Memorial Interment Of Victims Of Igbo Heroes Day Massacres

Between 90 and 100 bodies of the massacred Igbo Heroes Day celebrants were on Wednesday, 2nd of June 2016, abominably interred in fifteen mass graves dug in one of the two cemeteries located inside the Onitsha Army Barracks. The inglorious and abominable secret mass burial was conducted by the Government of Anambra State in conjunction with heads of its Joint Security Taskforce comprising the army, navy, police, etc.

In Igbo Land, one of the most heinous abominable acts or taboos is to kill an innocent soul or to make him or her to disappear or to be murdered in cold blood and dumped his or her body in a location unknown to Igbo customs and traditions without giving him or her a befitting burial and funeral. Such has remained an irremediable taboo in Igbo Land till date. It is on account of these that the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE (an association of women of age born and married in Igbo Land) led by a onetime Commissioner for Works under Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife regime in Anambra State, Chief Mrs Chika Ibeneme, set out on 6th of July 2016 to remember the heartless massacre of as much as 140 Igbo sons and daughters on 30th of May 2016 and invoke their souls and spirits to go after their killers from generation to generation until they pay for heinous crimes and atrocities committed.

A memorial burial rite was also performed to strengthen and arm their spirits to seek eternal justice against their killers and enemies of the Igbo Land as well as to fight for the living who seek earthly justice on their behalf. These were done using the stem of Igbo banana and sands collected from the scene of their massacre at Eke-Nkpor. The memorial event was also organized in honour of the victims of other anti Igbo or Biafra massacres of 2nd December and 17th December 2015 in Onitsha; 18th and 29th of January and 9th of February 2016 in Aba as well as the Ukpabi-Nimbo massacre by the Fulani Janjaweed on 25th of April 2016.

The historic event was started with a 21 gun salute at Eke-Nkpor Junction and featured prayer-processions from Eke-Nkpor to St Edmunds Catholic Church and ended with lowering of a memorial coffin at the outer part of the Nkpor Community Cemetery along Nkpor-Umuoji Road where their spirits were invoked to go after their killers from generation to generation until they pay for heinous crimes and atrocities committed. A church thanksgiving service is fixed for today, 10th of July 2016.
We thank the leadership of Lady Chika Ibeneme’s OKPAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE for this courageous step so taken. This is more so when hundreds of women of age reached out for the historic event opted out at eleventh hour, fearing Buhari’s killer squads; leaving behind courageous others who attended and were divinely protected. The families of the massacred citizens numbering as much as 140 are solemnly consoled over the sudden loss of the precious lives of their loved ones and breadwinners.

Attached below are pictures of the memorial event, which took place on 6th of July 2016 at Nkpor. The pictures include boldly written message from the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE calling on Buhari, Obiano and others to respect and uphold the sanctity of human lives; representatives of the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE led by Mrs Chika Ibeneme, in mourning attire; smokes from the 21 gun salute at Eke-Nkpor in honour of the massacred sons and daughters; the memorial coffin;  the Nkpor Community Cemetery where the memorial coffin was lowered; and the representatives of the OGBAKO UMUOKPU IGBONINE led by Chief Mrs Chika Ibeneme and other invited guests including our Board Chair, paying their last respect by the graveside to the massacred heroes and heroines.

This Monday, July 4th to Friday, July 8, Biafrans and friends all over the world will commence another round of phone campaign to officials of United States of America (USA); European Union (EU) and United Nation (UN).

As the forceful disappearance and outright execution of Biafrans are ongoing in Biafra land, the Nigerian army under the order of Buhari has continued to arrest IPOB members of which IPOB national coordinator is the latest evidence of the clampdown. This has rendered hundreds of children fatherless and women widows; the onslaught aimed at the people of Biafra for peacefully aspiring for self-determination which is a sacred right is showing no sign of dropping.

In Anambra state the renewed massacred since Biafra Remembrance Day has continued unabated, while the burial of the massacred victims are taking place, the clamor for the body of the victims Nigerian army carted away with still fresh. Buhari has yet sustained the onslaught and has shown determination never to cease.

There is indication of a possible invasion of Biafra as top ranking Military personnel from Biafra land are being retired or either fired from Nigerian military force. This has mounted significant pressure in Biafra land as Biafrans continue to live in fear. The peaceful agitation for the release of the leader of Indigenous people of Biafra and restoration of Biafra has been seen as weakness. the military action against unarmed and defenseless Biafrans is a thing of great concern.

Biafrans have become a species of terror, Biafrans are endangered to the point their human right has be taken away from them and right to exist denied on different occasions. There is a premeditated plan to exterminate the people of Biafra and it is gradually being executed. The decision of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra to go about self-determination peacefully and within the confines of the law has only given Buhari the reason to freely go about the extermination without resistance because Nigeria is a lawless country.

Biafrans shall continue to call and disturb the relevant authorities with the clear awareness that human right or life is protected without boundary. We have no arms to defend ourselves, we bear no stick or pebbles, and we shall continue to call the world leaders and institutions of the world to come to the aid of a free people even though it takes hundreds of years, we shall keep disturbing and calling till action is taken for Biafra to exit and end her political slavery. The world is a democratic world and a free world, nobody or country should forcefully hold a people against their wishes.

This current situation in Biafra land is to form part of the message in the phone campaign to the US, EU and UN officials. Biafrans and friends of Biafra all over the world are expected to be part of this campaign. Everyone is to call and declare to them the plight of Biafrans and why they should help to save the souls of Biafrans (SOS).
