| "Many were shot in the back indicating they were fleeing and not attacking soldiers" Amnesty backs Biafra group’s shooting claims. |
Amnesty International on Friday confirmed that the Nigerian military shot dead unarmed civilians before a march to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Biafran declaration of independence. Police have said at least 10 people were killed — five in the town of Onitsha, Anambra State, and five in Asaba, in neighbouring Delta State — in violence linked to the commemoration on May 30.
