SARS Killed 30,400 Nigerians In 16 Years

October 26, 2020 | The Biafra Times

Operatives of the disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) were allegedly involved in the extra-judicial killing of 30,400 Nigerians in the last 16 years, a newly-released report has said.

The report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law said SARS operatives killed an average 370 persons per month and 4,440 yearly between 2004 to 2020.

The group, otherwise known as Intersociety, also claimed that no fewer than 200 #EndSARS protesters were killed during the recent protests across the country.

The report said SARS caused the death or disappearance of thousands of Nigerians who were illegally arrested or not tried before being executed in custody.

Intersociety, which is based in Onitsha, released the report signed by its director, Emeka Umeagbalasi, after the two-week-long #EndSARS protests and the disbandment of the police squad.

“…Nigeria as a whole is most likely to have lost in the past sixteen years or since 2004 a total of 30,400 unprocessed citizens to police extrajudicial killings mainly perpetrated by its SARS,” said the report.

SARS had over the years been accused of extra-judicial killings, extortion and rights abuses by several rights groups, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

“Torture and extrajudicial killings by NPF personnel particularly its SARS are in most cases fueled by trio of hate, corrupt and crude or unprofessional policing,” said Intersociety.

Extra-judicial Killing Of Biafrans: Kanu Warns Of Retaliation If Killers Do Not Stop

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

Published on|The Biafra Times

April 21, 2020

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB ably led by the prophet and liberator of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unequivocally condemns the rampant and incessant harassment, humiliation, and killing of innocent and unarmed citizens of Biafra in Nkpor Anambra state, Aba and Ohafia in Abia State as well as Warri Delta State. This renewal of killings in Biafraland by Fulani dominated army and police have become a norm and will soon raise catastrophe in our land and Nigeria at large. We cannot allow such barbaric killings to continue unchallenged if the perpetrators don't immediately stop this cruelty.  Any soldier, police or security personnel who takes pleasure in  elimination of life of any Biafran will be made to drink the cup of his wickedness.


Nigeria military, Police and other security apparatus has in recent days killed more than 20 innocent citizens in Biafraland since coronavirus lockdown started. Some of the victims of this cruelty include: Mazi Ebuka Nwonye, 25,  who was murdered in cold blood at Nkpor Anambra State; Mazi Promised, 46, killed at Uratta Road, Aba; Chinaemerem, also killed in Aba; and Mazi Ekene Obieze, 24,  stabbed severely with dagger by Fulani soldiers and police deployed in Biafraland who are determined to reduce our population at all cost.


Some victims including Mazi Ekene Obieze are still in critical condition in the hospital. As if this is not enough, the killer squad under the guise of the police SARS, murdered in cold blood one Mazi Friday Arunsi, a middle-aged man in his home town Ebem Ohafia, Abia state that resulted to a very big uprising in Ohafia on 18th of April, 2020.


It is ridiculous that Nigeria police and army personnel have abandoned their duties and resorted to chasing rats on the street of Ezego in Nkpor Anambra State and other several roads and streets in Biafraland massacring innocent and unarmed citizens with reckless abandon.


We wonder why Nigeria army and police would prefer slaughtering lives of Biafrans extrajudicially during this period people facing hard time because of lockdown issued to curb the spread of coronavirus pandemic disease that is ravaging the whole world. Nigeria government in its deceptive attitude refused to give Biafrans their own share of money and foodstuff during this coronavirus lockdown that is ravaging the whole world but shared palliative gifts only to the people of northern Nigeria. Biafrans were left out during this government sharing from Abuja. It is on record that the entire former Eastern region comprising the South-South and South East zones are the economic backbone and power force of this cage called Nigeria.


Nigeria government refused to include Biafrans in its COVID -19  palliative but allowed its security agents to be killing our fathers, mothers, and youths who ventured to come out and look for food materials to buy for their families. Majority of Fulani terrorists were recruited into Nigeria military and police and 50% of them were deployed in Biafra to kill Biafrans. We also want to alert the world that they have, once again resumed their secret operation of searching house to house looking for IPOB members and those regarded as IPOB supporters.


It is clearly open that Nigeria government led by Fulani people decided to shut down South East and South-South to eliminate any reasonable person seen outside. It is important we inform Biafrans at home never to allow themselves to be used as scapegoat or cajoled into submissions because Biafra is coming.


Fulani-led government has also devised another way to force only Biafrans to accept injection of fake vaccine being distributed everywhere now. The vaccine is really contaminated with virus and disease. Our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu told you this during his numerous broadcast on radio Biafra. Therefore, no  Biafran should take this contaminated vaccine to avoid the consequences.


Why should  Fulani-led government of Nigeria not use their Fulani people to test their vaccine? Why should soldiers intimidate our people in Mbaise Imo State and other states in Biafraland to accept vaccination? Fulani must use force on their fellow alamajiri in the North to accept the injection because they have a lot of sickness and disease in the North. With this kind of humiliation and intimidation going on now,  we are urging every traditional ruler, President Generals of Town Unions (PGs), women groups and organizations, youth associations, politicians and stakeholders in every state and community in Biafra land to advise their people never to involve themselves in this vaccine they are moving around in different states particularly in Biafra land. We reject it totally.


We were reliably informed how money was distributed to state governors in our land to allow and lure our people into taking this deadly vaccine. We therefore warn the compromised governors to retrace their steps before it's too late. They can't be allowed to jeopardize or sacrifice the lives of the people on the altar of politics or personal gains. A day of reckoning is fast approaching!
