Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has condemned what they termed as barbaric and unprofessional conduct of the Nigerian Army located in Ohafia against the Biafran and IPOB Women General Meeting holding in Abiriba in Abia State.
A statement signed by their media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, condemned the way and manner the women were treated like animals and even stripped before taking them to their barracks.
The organisation was enraged that the women were rounded up like criminals in vans and trucks. “According to information reaching us, the Nigerian soldiers stormed the venue of the meeting with 20 Hilux vans and without provocation started beating, arresting and tearing the women’s clothes off their bodies that resulted in some of them being stripped naked before taking them to their barrack. Food, clothing and accessories belonging to some of the women were seized by the mostly Northern Hausa Fulani soldiers and taken to the Ohafia Barracks in Abia State.
“This barbaric and wholly undemocratic conduct of the Nigeria Army must be condemned by all civilised people and nations. The primitive approach to civil policing adopted by the Hausa Fulani dominated Islamic army in Nigeria makes a mockery of common sense and decency. Is it the duty of an army to be going about stripping women naked for no justifiable reason? The Nigerian Police also joined them in the manhandling, humiliation and molestation of our mothers whose only crime is to identify with the cause of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“This is the highest form of criminal brutality against Biafrans by Hausa Fulani dominated Nigeria security apparatus. When will this crime against humanity and unprofessional conduct of the Nigerian Army stop?
“We are therefore calling on the women organizations around the globe to condemn and take this abuse of Biafra women by the Nigerian Army to the rest of the world,” the organisation laments.
