Because these events<br \/>\nare happening to Biafrans in Nigeria; where an Islamic government, along<br \/>\nwith her security operatives staffed by Fulani officers are aiding and<br \/>\nprotecting Hausa Fulani herdsmen and their kinsmen in the army from the<br \/>\nconsequences of the worst form of ethnically motivated genocide presently<br \/>\nin Africa, the world remains deaf to the cries of IPOB.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The sight of these decomposed bodies should be designated as an<br \/>\ninternational crime scene and promptly investigated. Should the United<br \/>\nNations, ICC, USA and European Union fail to act on this gruesome<br \/>\ndiscovery of mass grave of Biafrans in Ukwa Ngwa, Abia State, we would<br \/>\nconclude that there exists a credible bias and conspiracy to exterminate<br \/>\nand Islamize Biafra by the pro-Islamic international community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IPOB urged the global Christian community, Amnesty International, Human<br \/>\nRights Watch and other human rights organizations to prevail on the<br \/>\nNigeria government and her security operatives to release the remaining<br \/>\ndead bodies of Biafrans in their custody.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it has uncovered 38 bodies of slain Biafran activists in a forest located at Obiawom village, Ogwe community in Ukwa West local government&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
