The Rivers State Commissioner of Police, CP Zaki Ahmed has released a statement on the attack on residents in Oyigbo LGA by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the killing of police sergeant today.
The statement released today Wednesday September 13th reads:
''Gentlemen of the Press. I greet you all. Again I have called you to address you on the sad event of yesterday 12/9/2017 at about 1400hrs where members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) without lawful authority blocked the entire Aba/Port Harcourt Express way and attacked some residents.
The said group who had no justification for their action also attacked a Police van from Training School Nonwa enroute Port Harcourt International Airport and burnt the Police van to ashes. The driver Inspr. Emaikwu Ochochi was badly injured and is now on admission. They also carted away one AK 47 riffle with sixty rounds of live Ammunition, and one Berretta Pistol with 8 rounds of live Ammunition. At the end of their rampage, many vehicles were damaged and stores burnt.
The timely response of the Police restored normalcy and brought the situation under control as I made adequate deployment to arrest the situation. The mob were dispersed with minimum force thereby restoring law and order. At the end of which 23 IPOB members were arrested.
However, the Command was awaken to yet another sad incident today at about 0010hrs, where the same dare devil IPOB members regrouped and launched a surprise attack on the Mobile Policemen stationed at Oyigbo junction, killing a Police Sergeant identified as Sgt. Steven Daniel attached to 19 PMF, injuring two and set a patrol vehicle ablaze as a result of which a Sterling SMG Riffle belonging to the deceased Sgt. was taken by the hoodlums. They were however repelled by the Police, where about 9 of them were arrested, bringing the total number of suspects arrested to 32. They are helping us in Investigation and will be due in Court as soon as our Investigation is concluded.
As a Command, we have been able to bring the situation under control, people are now going about their lawful businesses. I can assure you that, justice will be done in the circumstance. All those connected to this senseless carnage will be brought to justice. We shall spare no effort in dealing with any criminal elements in the State.
Once again I thank you for coming and will continue to seek your support to Police the State with International best practices and Rule of Law.
God bless you.
This is a Conspiracy Theory! The Nigerian Army's Operation Python Dance II is scheduled to commence on September 15 and run until October 15. The soldiers along with other security agencies are to be deployed to the 5 South-Eastern states of Nigeria. The reasons advanced by the Nigerian Government is hilarious. The real reasons for this current deployment are (1) to checkmate Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB's call for true federalism or in the alternative, a separate Homeland because of the selective Injustice being done to the Igbo people, (2) to prepare to checkmate the Igbos ahead of he October 1st deadline issued to them by the irresponsible Arewa Youth Forum to vacate Northern Nigeria should the massacre of Igbos begin in the North and the Igbos wish to retaliate in the South-East. Within the period of this unnecessary deployment, the Judiciary, under the guidance of the Federal Government, shall revoke Nnamdi Kanu's bail. The Army, and not the Nigeria Police as required by Law, shall quickly move in to arrest Nnamdi Kanu. In the process, the Nigerian Army shall murder as many IPOB members as they can. The recent unprovoked invasion of Nnamdi Kanu's residence is a foregleam of the deadly master plan already in place. The Nigeria Army and affiliate security agencies shall attempt to cart away the many bodies of murdered Igbo men, women, and children to conceal the evidence. They shall be given strict instructions by the Federal Government to keep Nnamdi Kanu alive but would be equally instructed to assassinate him should IPOB members resist his arrest. The government's propaganda machine including paid Sahara TV, Sahara Reporters, paid social media spin doctors, the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), The Sun Newspapers, Premium Times Newspapers, etc are already strategizing to unleash a barrage of lies, propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation to deflect the truth about the vicious atrocities that shall be committed. If hundreds of innocent lives can be heinously murdered by the Nigerian Air Force at the Borno IDP Camp and no one is being held accountable till today, the Nigerian Government feels that it can pull off a genocidal stunt on IPOB members and the Igbos. If hundreds of Sheik El Zak Zaky's followers, including harmless children, can be murdered in cold blood and given a mass burial, and nobody has been made to pay for this murderous crime till date, then the Federal Government has become emboldened to think that it can get away with the genocidal killing of peace-loving Igbos calling for equity, justice, and accountability. Please watch this space as this conspiracy theory unfolds before our eyes. If the Federal Government of Nigeria can condone the pogrom of Igbos and subsequently their genocide leading up to and during the Nigeria/Biafra Civil War of 1967-1970, they are very well prepared to repeat history in this era as no one has been held accountable for the previous crimes against humanity up till today. Let us hope this impending mayhem can be averted and lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent Igbos can be saved.
