| Idris: The Killer Cop |
By Tim Tochukwu
For Biafra Choice Writers
The plot has
been uncovered how Nigerian government plans to kill and cause chaos in
Biafraland during this year’s Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day observation, which
will take place on May 30, 2017.
Speaking to Biafra Choice Writers from his Enugu
sector of Biafra, Gentle Eyes, a Biafra Intelligence Chief, said the aim was to
use the Police and Army to get into people’s houses and force them into the
streets to join a procession of people that would singing one-Nigeria songs. According
to him, the plan would be that many Biafrans who refuse to join the procession
would be dragged into the streets and shot. Then they (the police and army) would
claim they wanted to disrupt a procession of true Nigerians singing for the
preservation of Nigerian as an indivisible entity.
It would be recalled that the Inspector General of
Nigerian Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, has been severally reported as having declared
the Sit-at-Home as illegal, and that the Police will resist it. Biafrans had
wondered how the IG intended to do this; whether he would get to their houses
to force them out. Now, it would appear the cat has finally being let out of
the bag. The Police and Army intend to do just that – get into people’s houses
to force them into the streets.
In one of the statements by the IGP, he was reported
to have declared: “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to
publications in the media on the planned protests and order of market closure
in the South eastern states on the 30th May, 2017 by the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), and other like groups.
“The Nigeria Police Force is deeply concerned with
the security implications with regards to the renewed hostilities and
subversive propagandas aimed at undermining law and order in some states of the
Federation by these groups, their associates, sponsors, apologists and
sympathisers.
“Consequently, the Commissioners of Police in the
affected states and their supervising Assistant Inspectors General of Police,
have been directed by the Inspector General of Police to be strict, polite,
civil and firm in dealing with the situation and put all the Police Personnel
and Police Anti-Riot equipment on red alert to deal decisively in accordance
with the law with any eventuality from these groups, that can disrupt
commercial activities, vehicular movements and safety of lives and properties
in some states of the Federation considered to be flash/vulnerable points which
have witnessed the unfortunate disturbance of public peace by these groups in
the recent past.”
It instructive to note that since 2013, IPOB has
been observing the Biafra Heroes Remembrance Day in honour of more than 4. 5
Million Biafrans murdered by the Nigerian state under different guises. And each
year, Nigerian Police and Army have used the opportunity to kill innocent and
armless Biafrans in the streets. It is for this reason that IPOB leadership
ordered all Biafrans to observe this year’s Heroes Remembrance Day with prayers
and deep reflection in their homes; and not come out into the streets.
Many Nigerian lawyers have warned the IGP that any
attempt to force the people into the streets against their will would be
illegal. But it appears the IGP and his archaic Nigeria Police are not ready to
heed the warning.
Among those who warned against it was Legal practitioner,
Ebun-olu Adegboruwa. He warned Nigeria Police Force against stopping the May 30
protest by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Nigerian lawyer said after he read the statement
by police spokesperson that the sit-at-home protest to celebrate the state of
Biafra was illegal, he was glad that the police could not cite any law to back
up its statement.
He words: “Under, and by virtue of section 38 of the
self-same Constitution, every citizen has the freedom of movement, which
includes freedom not to move. As government and the police cannot restrain
movement, they cannot also compel movement. A citizen of Nigeria has absolute
right to decide to move or not to move and this cannot amount to a crime under
any law, to warrant the threat by the police.

“On May 29, 2015, General Buhari and his Vice, took
a solemn oath to defend the Constitution and they cannot now seek to renege on
that oath, by purporting to declare the Biafra sit at home illegal.
“I’m therefore calling on the President and the Vice
President, to defend the constitution, by calling the Inspector General of
Police to order. Let no Nigerian be harassed, molested, intimidated, arrested
or detained, merely for daring to exercise his or her constitutional rights.
“I support the Biafra sit-at-home and urge the
leadership of IPOB to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies to ensure
that it is peaceful and well-coordinated. I urge all lawyers, activists and the
good people of Nigeria, to join and support the Biafra sit-at-home and to
resist the illegal attempt by the police to declare the exercise of a legal
right, as illegal.”
“To this extent, the threat by the police is illegal
and unconstitutional and should be withdrawn. We are not under military rule
but operating a democracy, propelled by the rule of law” he concluded.
In spite of the caution of such people as
Adegboruwa, Gentle Eyes said the Police are still going ahead with the plot. He
therefore spoke directly to the Biafran people: “Biafrans, you must prepare to
record everything the Nigerian Police and Army will want to do to force you
into the streets. It is your home and you know the vantage places you can stay
and video-record all the activities without being seen. Do this and give us the
evidences to nail them in the world courts and world court of public opinion.”
