Reactions as Ohanaeze youths warn of alleged impending bloodbath in southeast

The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the youth arm of the southeast socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has raised alarm over an alleged envisaged security crisis, warning there could be a harvest of Killings of Ndigbo in subsequent weeks and months.

The Council likened the recent massacre at Eha-Amufu as a mere tip of the iceberg in comparison to the impending danger that may spread across Ozalla, Akegbe, Ituku Ogwu, Enugwu Ezike, among others, if proper care is not exercised.

A statement by the National President of OYC, Igboayaka O. Igboayakasaid, “The recent incident which claimed the lives of over 100 people at Eha-Amufu is just the beginning; there will be a bazaar of killing that will spread across Ozalla, Akegbe, Ituku Ogwu, Elugwu Ezike, Igbo-etiti, Okigwe, Umunze, Arondizuogu, Umuchu, Uturu, Isuochi, Umunneochi, Ohaji Egbema, Oguta, Nekede, Mbaise, Ngor Okpala, Ngalagu, Ezzamg, etc, if Ndigbo continues to entrust the security of their lives and property to the hands of Governors who allegedly lack empathy.

The statement alleged that Ndigbo has been circled from the Kogi and Benue borders and that Nigeria security agents are compromised in their duties.

”It’s now crystal clear that the lives and property of Ndigbo can no longer be secured or protected by the present APC-led government of President Mohammadu Buhari.”

“The Council, through her President, Igboayaka O Igboayaka, therefore, charged various Community Town Union (CTU), Presidents and community Youth Leaders in Igbo land to, as a matter of urgency, establish a ”self-defence security network” and commence recruitment of able-bodied youths who would serve in the said capacity for the defence of the people from external elements.

“At this juncture, Ohanaeze Youth Council calls on Community Town Union (CTU), Presidents and community Youth Leaders in Igbo land to commence immediate recruitment and establishment of “Igbo Community Defenders” against any form of invaders and Fulani Jihadists in Southeast
