Grand Summary (480 Total Death Tolls In The Military Massacre Operations):

The breakdown of the killings starting from 30^th of August 2015 to 20^th January 2017 and 12^th-14^th September 2017 that led to not less than 480 deaths is as follows: six (6) deaths in the 30^th of August 2015 protests at Awka and Onitsha, nine (9) in the Uyo and Port Harcourt mega protests of 30^th August 2015, twenty-five (25) in the 2^nd and 17^th December 2015 protest and jubilation killings at Onitsha Niger Bridgehead and environs.

Others are: fifteen (15) in the 18^th and 29^th January 2016 killings in Aba, thirty (30) in the 9^th February 2016 massacre at Aba National High School, one hundred and ten (110) in the 29^th and 30^th May 2016 Biafra Heroes Day massacre at Nkpor, Ogidi and Onitsha and thirty (30) in the Asaba spill over massacre of 30^th May 2016.

The rest are: twenty (20) in the 20^th January 2017 pro Trump Rally in Igweocha or Port Harcourt, 180 in the 12^th and 14^thSeptember 2017 Army Python Dance 11 massacre in Aba, Asa-Ogwe, Isiala-Ngwa and Afara-Ukwu, all in Abia State; and sixty (60) deaths arising from those who died of injuries and associated complications after being shot and critically injured by the military and the police, totalling 485 deaths.

Out of the 480 death tolls highlighted, 107 names were mentioned including 16 seen lifeless bodies dumped in two burrow pits along Aba-Port Harcourt Road, Aba in February 2016 and four persons that later died of gunshot wounds at the Multicare Hospital at Nkpor in December 2015.

The remaining 373 names, in addition to said sixteen lifeless bodies found in Aba-Port Harcourt Road burrow pits, constitute those killed and taken away or buried or dumped in undisclosed secret graves or sites by soldiers, police and other security personnel. It is our firm belief that the actual names and number of those killed or wounded will surge and be fully identified when the time is apt or appropriate for the constitution of panels or judicial commissions of enquiry by relevant government authorities.

A typical case in point was the setting up of Hon Justice G.C.M. Onyiuke Tribunal that looked into the Igbo pogrom of 1966, which later found that “... between 45,000 and 50,000 civilians of former Eastern Nigeria were killed in Northern Nigeria and other parts of Nigeria from 29^th May 1966 to December 1967; with estimated 1,627,743 (IDPs) Easterners fleeing back to Eastern Nigeria as a result of the 1966 pogrom.”

60 Additional Dark Figures Of Crime:

In Criminology, dark figures of crime represent circumstantially ascertainable or compelling statistics of killings or wounds that take place but are never recorded or reported or documented or put in the marble. In the instant case, there must have been more unrecorded deaths arising from those who died from gunshot wounds or killings that went un-captured. It is a clear act of wickedness and conspiratorial culpability for State actors or non-State actors to under-report or under-represent the statistics of the dead or the wounded especially in matters involving “industrial scale” rights abuses and violations by Government or its security forces.

In the instant case, therefore, there were clear cases of killings that went un-recorded as well as deaths arising from those that were shot and critically injured. These included unrecorded or unreported killings that took place in the 2015 and 2016 Yenogoa (mega protest), Uyo and Port Harcourt protests, among others. Owing to the prevalence of State violence and widespread fears created, relatives of those slain patriots have been unable to speak out or formally report cases of their slain or missing ones to relevant quarters since August 2015.

Which is why we have resolved to add, at least, 60 more figures (i.e., to represent dark figures of crime) to safely and validly represent the true semblance of the actual number of unarmed, defenceless and innocent citizens of Igbo Christian and Jewish backgrounds and other non-Igbo Christians killed. This now brings to 480 as the total number of unarmed and defenceless citizens killed in old Eastern Nigeria by the Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and their controlled security forces between August 2015 and September 2017.

Over 500 Injured Victims Of The Military Massacre Operations: The over 500 injured citizens were those shot and critically wounded in the Port Harcourt, Asaba, Onitsha, Awka and Enugu protests of 30^th August 2015; 2^nd and 17^th December 2015 protest and jubilation match killings in Onitsha; 18^th and 29^th January and 9^th February 2016 massacre in Aba; 29^th and 30^thMay 2016 Biafra Heroes Day massacre at Nkpor, Onitsha and Asaba.

The rest were the 20^th January 2017 pro-Trump rally killings in Port Harcourt and 12th to 14^th September 2017 Army Python Dance 11 massacre operation in Aba, Asa-Ogwe, Afara-Ukwu and Isiala-Ngwa, all in Abia State as well as killings arising from other protest matches held in 2015 and 2016 in Yenagoa, Port Harcourt and Uyo; out of which 214 names are mentioned or cited in this special report.
