The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has again found it extremely important to raise its voice against the ongoing brutal military onslaught against residents of Oyibo in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
This massacre under the guise of peace keeping is coming barely few days after the same military was unleashed on peaceful protesters in Lekki area of Lagos State.<\/p>\n
It is indeed worrisome that despite the negative reactions the Lekki incident attracted both from local and international scenes, the government of President Muhammadu Buhari still deployed troops to Oyibo.
\nOpposition political parties are wondering the rational behind this government’s easy way of shedding innocent blood without blinking an eye.<\/p>\n
We are hereby calling on the President to immediately call off the ongoing use of brutal force by soldiers in Oyibo.<\/p>\n
We are also calling on international human right bodies to start criminal trials of those who participated in the extra judicial killings of defenceless people in Oyibo and other parts of the country.<\/p>\n
This nation is in a democracy and we therefore condemn any attempt to militarise the country under any guise.<\/p>\n
