Deconstructing the communique jointly issued by Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Southeast lame duck governors

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is appalled by the shameful, disgraceful, and cowardly joint communique issued by Ohanaeze Ndigbo and a group of lame duck Governors of the five states of part of the old Eastern Region that is unconstitutionally referred to as Southeast. The IPOB learned that the communique was issued after a meeting which held at Nike Lake Resort in Enugu on July 1, 2017. The said communique was presented by Mr. David Nweze Umahi, who ascribed the title of “ENGINEER“ to himself even when in violation of the relevant sections of CAP E11 L.F.N. 2004, considering the fact that his Engineering License Number R25719 is currently invalid and, therefore, he should not officially assign such title to himself.

Hall Of Infamy Award: Southeast Human Rights Coalition Names DSS As Chief Enemy Of Democracy & Rule Of Law In Nigeria For 2015

(Onitsha Nigeria, 7^th November 2015)-

The Coalition of Southeast Human Rights Organizations operating in the Southeast Nigeria wishes to alert Nigerians and the international community concerning the unconstitutional resurrection of Nigerian State Security Decree 2 of 1984 (Detention of Persons Without Trial); otherwise called Decree No 2 of 1984, which allows for indefinite and incommunicado detention of Nigerian citizens without recourse to competent and diligent judicial process. Also unconstitutionally resurrected with Decree No. 2 of 1984 is another obnoxious and anti democracy decree called Decree No.4 of 1984 (Public Officers Protection against False Accusation); extensively used to arrest and clamp media practitioners into indefinite and incommunicado detention for publishing reports deemed inimical to the interests of members of the ruling military brigandage or cabal. The two infamous decrees were promulgated in 1984 by the current sixth civilian President of Nigeria, Retired Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari when he served as Nigeria’s post Second Republic maximum military ruler.
