No fewer than 40 Civil Society Organizations, CSOs and Intelligentsias (groups of intellectuals/highly educated persons) from Eastern Nigeria, operating in the region and overseas have successfully been mobilized to beam their advocacy and intellectual searchlights on the continued hateful and unlawfully murderous operations by the country’s Muslim dominated and controlled security forces especially the Nigerian Army.
The chairman of International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law, Intersociety, Nze Emeka Umeagbalasi, made this disclosure to newsmen in Onitsha, Wednesday.
According to him, the 40 CSOs and Intelligentsia’s advocacy activities including their searchlights
will focus more on Imo, Abia, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Ebonyi States as well as Anambra, Enugu and Delta States.
“Apart from safety, security and liberties of the indigenous Christians in the above named States,
safety of public and private properties including employment generating assets and investments will also be monitored for protection.
According to him, “the planned joint advocacy activities have also been designed to have local and international contents including
documentation and careful study and evaluation of international criminal and civil justice and diplomatic remedies and safeguards for purpose of blackening the perpetrators internationally and bringing them to criminal and civil justice
including making them pay for all the atrocities perpetrated under the color and seal of the “Nigerian security forces”.
He hinted that there are most likely remotely planned state actor jihadist attacks looming in Eastern Nigeria, targeting unarmed Christian citizens of the Southeast and South-south and their properties including sacred centers of worship and learning as well as other employment generating
assets and investments.
The looming jihadist attacks he stated may most likely involve combined forces of state actor Muslim dominated and controlled security forces and non state actor but Government backed Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen.
“These have also been the case in Benue, Plateau, Southern Kaduna, etc. The Nigeria’s Muslim led security forces part of the attacks is most likely chronicled under the guise of “special military operations aimed at crushing secessionist/Biafra separatists and their gunmen in the Southeast and the South-south.
“It must be remembered that the Old Eastern and Mid Western Nigeria now called Southeast and South-south; Nigeria’s strongest and largest
Christian regions; have been under military and policing siege since the present Muslim dominated and controlled central Government came on board in 2015.
“Without any evidence of armed resistance in two regions, the Nigerian Government declared war on the two Regions and deployed the highest form of state instruments of coercion against the two regions, their peoples and properties.
“The Nigerian Government, clearly acting hatefully, further launched series of murderous military operations using its Muslim dominated and controlled troops who rapaciously usurped and undermined the activities of the Nigeria Police Force and relied on criminally insignificant infractions and civil irrelevancies such as traffic offenses, picketing, street protests among others.”
