Chief Celestine Okoye, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police has decries possible escalation of insecurity and crisis in the South East region as a result of the sentencing of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of Abuja Federal High Court.

Okoye while reacting to the court sentence of the IPOB leader expressed shock over what he described as miscarriage of justice and deliberate attempt to continue to suppress the Igbos in Nigeria.

“There’s nothing like putting an end to insecurity in South East. The Igbos in general are in trouble. This has shown that we are not needed in this country and they have shown the level of hatred they have for us. There is nowhere any Igbo man is safe in this country. So the agenda of clearing the Igbo race is already on as far as we are concerned.

“I don’t know the law they based this judgement on but as far as I’m concerned, we are in trouble. So if you are talking about ending insecurity, it is not going to end insecurity, we are in trouble, we are no longer safe. The Igbo man has no say, the battle the young man went through, they should have told us the enabling law that made them to give this judgement. It’s a miscarriage of justice.

The retired police officer further lamented that what is going on in Nigeria is a subtle plan to annihilate the Igbo race through various ways, saying: “I know in the 40s when Igbos were massacred in the North, the masacaraing is continuing. During the civil war, we lost over six Million Igbos and today, the same thing has continued, from one mascare to the other.

“This boy saw all these things and started his actions. There’s no other thing, it’s just hatred on Igbos. There is nothing any Igbo man can say that can be taken seriously. And I am calling on the international community like the United States of America to come, they have to come and help us because there’s no hope anywhere, we have no hope of survival. Igbs are Christians and the genocide is coming gradually to wipe us out. (The Sun)
