Nigeria Army Accused of Genocide: 46,800 Lives Lost in Eastern Region Between 2015-2024

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has levied a damning accusation against the Nigeria Army, alleging that they have committed genocide in the Eastern region, resulting in the loss of 46,800 lives between 2015 and 2024. This startling claim was made in a recent radio program on Radio Biafra London, as monitored by Glintnews.

According to Mazi Chinasa Nworu, the Nigeria Army, acting on the orders of the federal government, the FCT minister, Nyeso Wike, Dave Umahi, Senator Hope Uzodimma, and other governors, systematically sponsored the killing of innocent Biafrans during this period. The IPOB has vowed to bring the Nigeria Army and all those involved to justice.

This accusation is particularly disturbing, given the region's tumultuous history. The Eastern region, also known as Biafra, has been plagued by violence and instability, with various groups, including repented  Boko Haram who are integrated into the army, perpetrating attacks and killings .

The IPOB's allegations of genocide are a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict and the need for accountability. The international community must take notice of these accusations and demand a thorough investigation into the alleged atrocities committed by the Nigeria Army.

As the IPOB seeks justice for the victims and their families, it is essential to acknowledge the region's complex history and the various factors that have contributed to the ongoing violence. A comprehensive and inclusive approach is necessary to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a lasting peace.

The Nigeria Army's actions, as alleged by the IPOB, are a clear violation of human rights and international law. The accused individuals, including government officials and military personnel, must be held accountable for their actions.

As the world watches, it is crucial that we demand justice for the victims of these alleged atrocities. The IPOB's courageous stance in speaking out against these abuses is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit's capacity for justice and accountability.
