Are murderous headsmen, Killers of Hundreds in
Agatu/Southern Kaduna have been declared as Terrorists. Constitutional Lawyer
and Human Rights Activists, Chief Mike Ozekhome has rejected the description of
IPOB by the Nigerian Military as a terrorist organization saying the federal
government appears to be selective in its pronouncement...
Ozekhome who was
reacting to the Defence headquarters categorization which was arrived at
because IPOB was said to be in possession of weapons, had a secret service and
was planning a national guard, wondered why other groups had not been declared
terrorists organizations. The Senior Advocate of Nigeria recalled the activities
of the deadly and murderous Fulani herdsmen who go about killing, maiming and
raping Nigerian, the killers of score in Agatu and Southern Kaduna yet nobody
declared them as terrorist organizations wondering if the federal government is
operating two sets of laws for two sets of Nigerians. He said, “I do not
believe the instances cited by the Defence Headquarters justify declaring IPOD
a terrorist organization”. “The last time I checked, I can’t remember any of
such organizations operating in the country being declared terrorist
organizations”. “The herdsmen who go on rampage daily, maiming, raping,
killing, those responsible for the Agatu massacre, Shiites massacre, Southern
Kaduna progrom, indiscriminate killings, brazen quit notices givers, across Nigeria,
etc, have never been arrested, prosecuted, let alone being proscribed and
stigmatized.as terrorist organizations. “We must surely have and operate two
sets of laws for two sets of peoples in Nigeria. Nigeria, we hail thee”. “A
government should be seen to be fair to all component parts of Nigeria.”
