Intersociety, SBCHROs Rebut NAIJ Lies That They Named Peter Obi, Ekweremadu, Ors Pro-Biafrans Sponsors
…Henry Oduenyi and his Nigerian Voice, James Ezema and his Street Reporters, Naija.Com, Nairaland, Barrister Chioma Kate Unini and her Nigerian Lawyer Online, Mazi Odera, Uchenna Madu, Barristers Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Chuks Muoma (SAN), Emmanuel Onyejena and his Allnewsandreports.
“The rest are Chinwe Umeche, Uzochukwu Oguejiofor, Obianuju Joy Igboeli, Florence Akubilo, Ndidiamaka Bernard; the Galaxy TV and its Southeast crew, Minaj TV, Vanguard Newspaper, Innocent Anaba and his InosReport, Leonard Sobechi of Guardian Newspaper, Senator Iroegbu and Dave Eleke of This Day Newspaper, Today Online, Uncova Online, the Authority Newspaper, the Premium Times, Emmanuel Mayah, Mary Ann Onwuchekwa, Anita Foster, Tony Okafor, the Independent Newspaper, Champion Newspaper, Alphonsus Nweze, Cyprain Ebele, to mention but a few.”
The purpose of their commendation was also clearly mentioned and they are: “their priceless and immeasurable roles in the human rights, humanitarian, research, documentation and media advocacy aspects of the nonviolent pro Biafra campaigns in Nigeria so far”.
Peter Obi and Ike Ekweremadu were commended for speaking out in several public forums against the massacre of scores of pro Biafra activists and other supporters of the IPOB campaigns as well as their several calls for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and other detained pro Biafra campaigners.
The US Embassy was commended because of its periodic concerns and enquiries strictly on human rights and humanitarian situations and concerns as they concern the Federal Government’s poor handling of the nonviolent pro Biafra campaigns.
Amnesty Int’l was commended for its dogged efforts at ensuring justice for victims of anti-Biafra campaigns’ violent crackdowns by Nigerian security forces.
The likes of Barristers Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Chuks Muoma (SAN), Chinwe Umeche, etc. are known members of IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team who have assisted us in the area of research and documentation leading to their inclusion in our commendation segment of the statement.
Barristers Florence Akubilo, Obianuju Igboeli and Ndidiamaka Bernard are known key volunteers of Intersociety. Damian Ugwu, Ibuchukwu Ezike, Damian Ogudike, Justus Ijeoma, Justine Ijeoma, Okechukwu Nwanguma, Alex Olisa, Aloysius Attah etc are well known human rights activists.
Their roles in human rights, humanitarian, research and documentation aspects of anti-Biafra campaigns’ violent crackdowns were deeply appreciated leading to their names being singled out for commendation.
Comrade Okechukwu Nwanguma, for instance, is the national coordinator of the Network on Police Reforms in Nigeria or NOPRIN, likewise Comrade Ibuchukwu Ezike who is the Executive Director of the Civil Liberties Organization. Comrade Aloysius Attah is the present Chairman of the Southeast Zone of the CLO.
The likes of Clifford Iloanya, George Onyeibe, etc. also assisted us immeasurably with useful information during our various human rights interventions.
The likes of Mike Akuoma, Ugochukwu Chinweuba, Samuel Kamanyoku, etc. are traders who assisted us with useful grassroots and linking information during our several visits and locations of hospitals and clinics where shot and wounded and slain pro Biafra campaigners and other slain and wounded innocent citizens were kept.
The names and owners of the media outfits singled out for commendation in our commendation segment are those who published our advocacy reports connected to grievous human rights violations by Nigerian security forces in their grossly poor management of the pro Biafra agitation.
All those media practitioners mentioned published our reports free of charge till date.
Above all, the Judgment of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, presided over by Hon Justice Binta Murtala Nyako, to the effect that “IPOB is not an unlawful organization or society” still subsists till date and has not been set aside.
It therefore shocks and surprises us as what the Naija.com and its team wants to achieve by drawing a battle line with organizations and persons whose human rights advocacy mandates in Nigeria are widely known and clearly defined including Amnesty Int’l and US Embassy in Nigeria; by magisterially, wickedly, maliciously, scandalously and wickedly labeling them “terrorism financiers and collaborators”.
While we are not surprised a bit at such deadly antics, our purpose of issuing this late night rebuttal statement is to disabuse the minds of un-attentive public and overzealous members of the security establishments to take immediate note.
We shall be meeting soonest to discuss further actions to be taken against the publishers of the Naija.com and others who acted at the behest or instance of the named malicious publishers; for having the audacity or effrontery to doctor and twist our clearly stated and spelt out statement of 2nd June 2017.
