BIAFRA HEROES’ DAY TURNS BLOODY IN NKPOR:CHINEDU EWULU REPORTING FOR BIAFRA WRITERS

Biafrans gathered in Nkpor

30th May 2016, the most bloody of all; a day the Nigeria military has once again unleashed high level of brutality on Biafran citizens. A day these diabolical men, agents of the under world, wandering Ishmaelites have proposed to spill the blood of our citizens right in our own land.

As early as 7:00am, we had already received information that four Biafrans from Aba who camped at St. Francis Catholic Church had been killed and several others wounded by these blood-thirsty demons –the Nigerian military. Once killed, they made sure they do away with the bodies and our intelligence revealed that these bodies were taken to Onitsha Barracks with hilux vans. There is a heavy military presence at Nkpor, Uga junction, Asaba and its environs.

As at 9:00am, major highways were blocked, travellers were trapped, the Niverian military shootings became sporadic, emotions arose as Biafrans were counting their losses. Over 10 were already dead and scores injured. Yet, we were willing to make it to the venue. On reaching Onitsha expressway, no commercial bus was operating, no bike, except for the combined forces of the army and the police parading with heavy guns.

At about 11:00am, the number of victims had escalated to 22 and about 75 injured. Yet, these Nigerian agents in conjunction with the British continued shooting like they will be rewarded for gunning down civilians. By 6pm the number of deaths skyrocketed to over forty (40) and still counting. But what baffled me most was that the army paraded the Biafran corpses like an Olympic trophy won in the whole of the city.

Murdered Biafran

Our intelligence also revealed that the army were tracing the whereabout of the wounded ones to ensure they leave no trace of any evidence of their abominable acts. Hence, the victims were attended to with high level of confidentiality.

There were also rumours that the Nigerian military kidnapped some Biafrans from Aba heading to Imo along Isuu-nja aba express way. More to these assaults, every living thing at Nkpor was endangered as the Nigerian military continued to release tear-gas in the air, residents began to shut their windows, babies were taken to air conditioned rooms.

At this point IPOB leadership in Biafra land adviced all her people to retreat; as her intelligence revealed more plans of further military attacks. This ploy, though restricted the celebrations to the streets, tore the hearts of many, but it helped avert further attacks planned by the military. The day has been chaotic, it has ended, this had become our 30th May 2016 story, the present continous story of Biafrans since we came in contact with Britain. Things have indeed fallen apart.

Biafrans Carrying the dead victim Of Nigeria's Brutality

I ask, what more evidence does the world need to justify our claims? How many more lives do we need to sacrifice for our freedom? Why is UN silent? I thought Rome knows that value of truth and justice? Why are those who claim to be the epitome of moral values so misplace priorities? Must every tender feeling be likewise sacrificed to the White man’s avarice? Who will believe our report? Why is the world ever silent about Biafra?

Ojukwu was ever right… ‘’Our struggle has far-reaching significance. It is the latest recrudescence in our time of the age-old struggle of the black man for his full stature as man. We are the latest victims of a wicked collusion between the three traditional scourges of the black man - racism, Arab-Muslim expansionism and white economic imperialism.

Playing a subsidiary role is Bolshevik Russia seeking for a place in the African sun. Our struggle is a total and vehement rejection of all those evils which blighted Nigeria, evils which were bound to lead to the disintegration of that ill-fated federation. Our struggle is not a mere resistance - that would be purely negative. It is a positive commitment to build a healthy, dynamic and progressive state, such as would be the pride of black men the world over’’.

In the face of all these, we are ever courageous, ever ready to stand for what is right, the pride of Africa. Our voices have been heard, our heroes have been remembered, maybe not in a way we wanted but the best we can afford in the present predicament. Hoping that a day will come, when the entire world will stand still and watch us celebrate our heroes.

God bless Biafra heroes!
