Four traditional rulers from Umuogudu Akpu in Ngbo
Ohaukwu LGA Ebonyi state were abducted by the Nigeria army on 7th April, 2020
in Ohaukwu LGA headquarter at Izhia-Ngbo.
The traditional rulers which includes three village heads
in the community and the autonomous community king of Umuogudu Akpu in Ngbo was
invited for a meeting with the Ohaukwu LGA chairman, Barrister Clement Odah who
is a willing tool to Ebonyi state governor, Engineer David Nwaeze Umahi who
dance to the tune of the Fulani cabals in Abuja.
The meeting was arranged as a plot to hand them
forcefully over to the brutal Nigeria army which they smoothly accomplished.
They were abducted following the unconfirmed assertion by
the Nigeria army that a Nigeria soldier was murdered in Umuogudu Akpu community
in Ngbo Ohaukwu LGA Ebonyi state.
Recall that on 10th March, 2020 the Nigeria army according to the intelligent
report gathered from the scene of the incident by some of the survival of the mayhem,
combined with the deadly Fulani herdsmen terrorists and invaded Umuogudu Akpu
community at Ngbo in Ohaukwu LGA. Many residents including children, women and
elderly men were massacred and beheaded; many homes and yam ban as well as
domestic animals were killed and some set ablaze by the invaders, a lot of
people sustained various degrees of bullets and cutlass injuries as a result of
the attack.
More than thirteen persons were confirmed dead as a result
of the attack by the Nigeria army and the Fulani herdsmen.
A survived eyewitness of the attack described that the
perpetrators were all dressed on black like the Nigeria military police and the
Fulani herdsmen, with sophisticated weapons including AK49 and AK47 rifles,
cutlass, dagger just to mention but few, he said that they numbered more than
thirty.
The ugly incident followed series of threats issued out
by the Nigeria army to the community, that they will launch an attack in
Umuogudu Akpu as a means to retaliate the unconfirmed assertion of the murder
of a Nigeria soldier in the community, residents of the community who survived the attack which spoke
to the media on the condition of anonymity, revealed that the army threatened
to make it horrible and disastrous like
they did in Bayelsa state and other Biafra states; the threat was later carried
out with outrageous damages attached to it.
The Ebonyi state government has done nothing or less in
order to
address the situation despite efforts made by the helpless people of
Umuogudu Akpu and Ngbo as a race in seeking for help and the intervention of
the state government before and after
the attack, some community residents who escaped the attack could not hide
their feelings while speaking to the media,
they said the Ebonyi state governor, Engineer David Nwaeze Umahi and other
political leaders in the state are working assiduously with their enemies to
decimate them, in an effort to achieve their 2023 selfish political ambitions
to the detriment of the people.
The following persons were abducted by the Nigeria army
in 135 at Izhia the headquarter of Ohaukwu LGA on Tuesday 7th April, 2020, HRH
Ezeh Godwin Ogba the Umuogudu Akpu Autonomous community king, Apostle Ezeh
Augustin the village head of Ndieguorie Umuogudu Akpu, Chief Ali Nwaodi the
village head of Ukpegu in Umuogudu Akpu, Elder Oselebe John the village head of
Amakpu in Umuogudu Akpu.
They were kept at an unknown location as at the time of
this report, though unconfirmed information revealed that they were taken to
zone nine (9) police headquarter in Calabar Cross Rivers state; but has not
been confirmed by the media.
Many confirmed that they have lost hope and confidence on
Nigeria that all they need is for the restoration of Biafra as a sovereign
state. They declared their readiness to officially identify with the Indigenous
People Of Biafra led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to drive home the agitation and quest
for Biafra total freedom.
