In an exclusive mail sent to Oriental Times, The Eastern Peoples Congress have written to various Ambassadors to Nigeria to register their grievance and discontent over the extrajudicial killings of the Indigenous people of Biafra and other pro-Biafra groups in the South East and South South region of Nigeria. Read mail below.
REPORTS ON EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLINGS IN ABA ON TUESDAY, 9TH FEBRUARY 2016.
What had started as a belief was transmitted to total conviction that they could never again live with Nigerians from this stems, the primordial political reality of the present situation.
Biafra cannot be killed by anything short of total eradication of the people who make her.
For even under total occupation, Biafra would sooner or without colonel Ojukwu rise up again because when a people is being rejected by the majority of the state in which they live, they must have the right to live under a different kind of arrangement which does secure their existence.
States are made to serve people; Government is established to protect the citizens of the state against external enemies and internal wrong doers.
The EASTERN PEOPLES CONGRESS (EPC), in conjunction with other pro-Biafra groups want to alert you about a serious humanitarian issue, the immense injustice and extra-judicial killing of innocent Biafrans and the arrest of so many people on Tuesday, 9th February 2016 by men of Nigeria army/police at National High School, Aba, which 20 persons have been arraigned in court and several others still missing including house wives.
We enclose here a recorded video tape of the killing and the charge sheets of the arrested people.
We the people of Biafra have suffered many pogroms in the past. We are the survivors of the most brutal genocidal massacres ever unleashed in Africa, South of Sahara.
We have paid an immense prize in the hands of Muslim radicals who consider the Igbo and Biafra people as the most despicable of infidels outside of the Republic of Israel.
In the past 50 years, more than five million Igbo/Biafrans have died in pogroms, war and massacres designed to teach the Igbo and Biafra people a lesson simply because we are Christians.
Many Muslims regard us as little better vermin worthy of the most brutal treatment. Today we have awakened to the realization of our inherent right to life and freedom.
Therefore, we shall not rest until we have achieved our heart desire of a free Biafra state.
“Self-determination is our inherent right and no people or nation under whatever guise can take this right away from us under the pretext of one nation”.
Based on these facts sir, we will like you to use your good office to alert your various countries you represent of these atrocities you have just watched in that video tape and help Biafrans to achieve a free independent state.
