Obigbo Massacre: ‘Must the Igbo always be slaughtered like flies in Nigeria’ – FFK

Chief Femi Fani Kayode has condemned what appears to be ethnic cleansing ongoing in the southern region where the Igbo tribe in the Obigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State are ”slaughtered like flies” under the guise of a military operation ’crocodile smile’ supported by the state Governor, Nyesom Wike.

The Aviation Minister tweeted disgust for the army’s operations aimed at harassing, killing and intimidating residents.

He said, “The mass murder of Igbo people for whatever reason and under whatever guise in Obigbo, Rivers state is unacceptable. I condemn it in the strongest terms.

“Where is our humanity? Must the Igbo always be slaughtered like flies in Nigeria? Do they not have red blood too? Does any race or human being deserve this type of targetting and treatment?

“I condemn the killing of security agents by anyone in that community but does that mean that every Igbo there must be treated like a prisoner of war or massacred?

“What moral right do we have as southerners to complain when northerners kill our people when we in the south are so ready to kill one another in such a barbaric and cruel way?

“Today I weep for the South and I weep for Nigeria.

The state Governor Wike had earlier signed an executive order proscribing IPOB, he accused members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra of allegedly killing six of their men and being in possession of some riffles during the #EndSARS protest, the governor’s decision gives cover for the resulting killings of youths in the area by the soldiers.

According to some of the victims, the residents have resorted to fleeing the area for fear of being killed as soldiers continue to raid homes in the guise of searching for IPOB members.
