‘It will cause more suffering’- Ohanaeze Worldwide kicks against IPOB’s sit-at-home order

Image
  Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, a socio-cultural association, has kicked against the sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB to protest the arrest and detention of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.   Kanu was arrested in Kenya on June 27 and extradited to Nigeria on June 29 and has been in DSS custody since then. IPOB in a statement released few days ago, announced that it will enforce a lockdown every Monday in the South-east until Kanu is released. The group said the lockdown tagged ‘Ghost Monday’ will also affect schools and marketplaces. However in a statement released by its secretary-general, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide kicked against the sit-at-home order saying it will further worsen the economic woes of the region.   “We are in support of any civil disobedience that will be peaceful and without infestations of untold hardship and economic havoc on southeastern Nigerians, we are aware of the economic losses associated with sit-at-home orders in

Health experts afraid the imminent third wave of the coronavirus pandemic may have already hit the country as Nigeria on Friday recorded 317 fresh cases of the dreaded infection. The country also reported one death from the pandemic, raising the nation’s death toll since the outbreak to 2,131. The latest data of the new cases, according to statistics released by the  Nigeria Centre for Disease Control  (NCDC), is the highest daily tally recorded in the count ry in more than four months.

We were shackled, beaten with cables, made to sleep under rain in kidnappers’ den – Kaduna Polytechnic abductee shares his experience in the kidnappers' den

  One of the kidnapped students of Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria who regained freedom from the kidnappers' den last Thursday, July 8, has shared details of how he and others were tortured by the bandits.   The armed bandits on June 10 stormed the school in the night and abducted staff and students of the school. After 28 days of being held captive, they all regained their freedom.    In a chat with The Nation, one of the students recounted how they were made to sleep in the open and under rain for 10 out of the 28 days they spent in the bandits’ den.   “We handed everything over to God when we realised that there was no way we could escape from the bandits’ camp. In fact, trying to run away was like endangering your life, because there were other camps in the forest whose operators would just capture you as a fresh victim. We were made to and fetch water from a stream which is like a kilometer from our camp, but they would escort us to and fro with guns. So, when we understood th
