PRESS RELEASES BY ACF
IPOB Attack Against Innocent Northerners in OYIGBO, Rivers State on the 5th/6th Sept 2020.
The Northerners have lived peaceful in Rivers state for decades, engaged in all forms of legit business activities and intermarry.Thus contributed to the socio economic development of the state. Never have we recorded any fracas between the Indigenes and the Northern extraction.
With the formation of IPOB we innocent, harmless, defenceless Northerners have recored countless attacks. In Rivers State it is also at Oyibo a populated dense Igbo resident and Local Govt. We today have counted over five deaths. It is not clear why Northern Community Is the target and why in the name of self determination will they carry out such malicious, brutal and molestation of innocent, harmless Northerners. The world is silent to this heinous and uncivil massacred of our brethren in OYIGBO on the 5th /6th September 2020 Attack though such attacks have happened repeatedly and this is the 6th of such barbaric unslaught.
It bleeds the heart of any rational human of this ethnic genocide.We strongly condemn this insensible act and sue for calm, particularly among those who feel aggrieved. We shall this time take a legal suit but call on our brethren across the country to remain calm not to take laws into thier hands. Our heritage and slogan of peaceful and accommodating foreigners should not be abused. The North for decades is a save heaven for the Igbos and their business empires worth billions of naira with uncountable structures. When in the entire Igbo land the Hausa Man as very little.
It is pathetic the hullocust many at time doesn’t make the headlines or get fully Reported .We must for once stand and cry for this inhuman atrocities on our loved ones in Oyigbo and across other Eastern States. Imagine how the families of the deceased will receive the dark news of their bread winners who went out in search for greener pasture only to be killed for the sins they knew not by senseless IPOB.
I draw the attention of the state govt to intensify the security for until now there are pockets intimidation, harassment and molestation of poor Hausa man doing his business on the street such as the Mairuwas, shoe cobbler, wheelbarrow pusher etc.All are done by the IPOB who are even settlers in the states.
Finally, we call on International community, Human Rights, Northern Governors, Royal fathers and well meaning Nigerian to come to our aid . Until we know the negative impact of unrest in Middle East, Mali, Sudan and Rodinga then we all will appreciate the peace In our country.
To the family of the deceased, we pray the Almighty grant you fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss. Enough is Enough
