President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia
Nwodo, has condemned the recent police attack and alleged burning down
of the residence of counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),
Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
The apex Igbo cultural organization in a statement in Enugu,
yesterday, called for a judicial inquiry into the matter describing it
as a case of unprovoked attack on a law-abiding citizen of the country
whose only crime was that he peacefully objected to the maltreatment of
his people.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo observed that the spurious claim by the police that
Ejiofor was “involved in a case of abduction, assault occasioning harm
and malicious damage to property” was baseless because nobody was
mentioned as the victim of the allegations.
It said that assuming without conceding that Ejiofor was culpable on a
charge of abduction, the only option in law available to the police was
arrest and prosecution under the laws of Nigeria and not deliberate
arson and wanton destruction of his family home.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo further stated that even before, its wrongful
proscription, IPOB had never been a violent group and could not have
summoned enough force to attack and kill any policemen to warrant
drafting in reinforcement. The release frowned at the situation where
any mild expression of dissent against the manifest injustice being
perpetrated against a particular ethnic group in the country will be met
with maximum force by the Federal Government.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo further called for a halt to the apparent and
incessant physical, economic and political harassment of Ndigbo in a
country watered with their blood, noting that they had striven to keep
and grow the country with their presence in all nooks and crannies of
Nigeria.
