Group threatens to Drag Buhari To court over Alleged Killing of ESN Operatives By Nigerian Army.

Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA has threatened to drag President Mohammadu Buhari to court over the alleged ghastly killing of operatives of Eastern Security Network, ESN by the Nigerian Army.

Recall that there have been incessant killing of suspected members of ESN by security operatives in recent times.

Meanwhile, the National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA, has, charged President Mohammadu Buhari to desist from threatening war against any section of the country and behave like a statesman except if he wants to tell the world that he is a warlord.

This is following Buhari’s security briefing on Tuesday, about the attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the South East.

The President had without mincing words, in his speech, threatened to deal with those who, according to him, want to destroy his government.

However, in a statement signed by the National Coordinator of HURIWA and made available to the Media, Comr. Onwubiko, had asked Buhari to rather behave like the Statesman he should be otherwise prove to the world that he is a warlord.

The emotional saddled group urged Buhari to without delay, stop reminding the Igbo speaking people of Nigeria how he (Buhari) participated in the progrom that left over three million people dead.

HURIWA carpeted Buhari, accusing him of excessive penchant for always robbing soap into the eyes of Igbo speaking Nigerians over his recent threat to deal with youths agitating for self-government in the South East.

Recall that Buhari had in his security briefing, said such individuals or groups will receive the shock of their lives as they will be treated in a language they will understand.

HURIWA wondered how Buhari could issue such a threat to the suspected members of the self-determination organisations such as the proscribed Indigenous peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for the Survival of Biafra (MASSOB) and multiple other organisations.

The Rights group pointed out that armed Fulani herdsmen are being allowed to kill thousands of farmers and destroying communities but Buhari allegedly pampers them and has never threatened to take war to their stronghold.

The group noted that whenever issues affecting the South East of Nigeria are involved, Buhari speaks with so much hatred to such an extent that it is becoming apparent that he is not yet tired of waging war against the South East of Nigeria even after he fought on the side of Nigeria for 30 months against the then Biafra Republic.

“Please President Muhammadu Buhari stop reminding us the Igbo of how you participated in the pogroms that resulted in the killing of over 3 million Igbo in the late 60’s and even after destroying the then Eastern Region, General Yakubu Gowon the then war time junta leader failed to rehabilitate or reconstruct the destroyed Eastern region but after the people through their efforts rebuilt South East of Nigeria, President Buhari is now threatening to launch another civil war against Ndigbo only because a bunch of boys are constructively canvassing self-determination.

“This is outrageous, provocative and sadistic. We condemn this dangerous rhetoric and hate speech with all our hearts and minds and we are putting the World on notice that Muhammadu Buhari plans to carry out another pogrom against Ndigbo”.
