The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Igbo National
Council (INC), an Igbo socio-cultural group has issued a 90 days
ultimatum to the governors of the southeast zone to inaugurate their own
regional outfit.
Reading a communiqué after a meeting well attended by members from 20
states, the National President of INC, Chilos Godsent said that the
group also condemned what it described as the “naked cowardice exhibited
by the governors of the South-East geopolitical zone on the failures to
establish and officially inaugurate the highly-demanded South-East
regional security outfit like their contemporaries in the North-West and
South-West geopolitical zones.
Also, Godsent disclosed that INC rejects the view of the
Inspector-General of Police (IGP)’s proposal for community policing for
South-East geopolitical zone.
“We wish to inform the people of the Igbo race that the proposed
community policing by the IGP is meant to officially aid the framework
for intelligence gathering and invasion of Igbo communities by the
jihadist.
“On the foregoing, the Igbo National Council requests the governors
of the South-East, South-South and North-Central geopolitical zones
respectively as a matter of urgent necessity to establish and officially
inaugurate their regional security outfits like the South-West
(AMOTEKUN) and North-West (SEGE KA FASA) within 90 days from 29th
February 2020 as a sign of patriotism and commitment to the security and
welfare of their citizens, part of the communiqué reads.
“We note that failure for the governors of the aforementioned
geopolitical zones to adhere to this call, the self-determination groups
in those geopolitical zones maybe compelled to take their destiny into
their own hands in other to protect their citizens from the rampaging
Fulani jihadist.
However, Godsent pointed out that INC supports in its totality the
call by the National Assembly, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to sack
all the service chiefs with immediate effect.
He averred that the reality on the ground has clearly shown that the
present crops of service chiefs in the country can no longer protect the
lives and properties of Nigerians who he claimed are daily slaughtered
“like cows and chickens by Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, and Fulani
jihadists.”
The group also condemned the wanton arrest and arbitrary detention of
the elders and people of Ifite-Ogwari community in Anyamelum Local
Government Area (LGA) of Anambra State.
“We condemn this arrest; they are simply defending their community
from Fulani herdsmen who has continued to attack and kill members of the
Ifite-Ogwari community in their ancestral land.”
On the foregoing, INC urge the Government of Anambra State to rise up
to the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the
people of Anambra State.
It also urged the Federal Government to be very sensitive of the
untold hardship the people of southern Nigeria are passing through
because of the border closure.
“On the above, INC, therefore, requests the Federal Government to
reopen the southern border or otherwise close the porous northern
borders where too many smuggling activities have been taking place since
the politically-motivated closure of the southern borders.
“Finally, the Igbo National Council wishes to advise the leadership
of Miyetti Allah in Nigeria to urge its members who now camp in many
forests in South-East and South-South geopolitical zone to immediately
vacate those forests or regret their deviancy,” Godsent stated.
