South-East Worst Hit In 2022 As Nigerian Army, Police Killed Over 700 Civilians, Arrested 1000 Suspects, Burnt Down Over 600 Private Residences – IntersocietyThe group disclosed this in a statement signed by Emeka Umeagbalasi, Board Chairman; Obianuju Joy Igboeli Esquire, Head, Civil Liberties and Rule of Law and Chidinma Udegbunam and Head, Campaign and Publicity Department.

The statement read, “The deployed military and police in the East had between January and December 2022 crudely, barbarously and atrociously killed 700 civilians and arrested 1100. “From various accounts recorded by Intersociety including the Obigbo Army war-grade attack of October to November 2020 in Rivers State, out of every five unarmed civilians arrested by soldiers, four run the high risk of never returning to their families alive. Soldiers of the Nigerian Military had also in 12 months of 2022 burned down or destroyed no fewer than 600 defenseless civilian homes worth billions of naira and sacked over 18,000 from their ancestral homes.

On December 29, 2022, troops of the Nigerian Army invaded Okigwe in Imo State, sacking residents of the community and looting properties and small businesses.

What a horrorful situation of extrajudicial execution, arson, distruction......

Please where did it happen

Only God knows what Buhari's APC government want to achieve by these in South East an Southern Karina: total annihilation of Ndi Igbos n Christianity in Naija. One tin I no certainly is dat God is not a man; whatever a man sow, he shall reap. The evil that men do lives after them

Nigeria must fall Iseee Iseee

And out politician are playing politics with people's lives

And how many law enforcement officers did the IPOB killed in the SE?

ejaeagu Those number we saw in this post is too some to compare what they killed

It was not this worst even in Ukrain ravaging war zone

And someone was angry that I don't support Nigeria and insulted Nigeria after he insulted Ndi-Igbo. As far as that country hates Igbo people, my feelings are mutual and I want it divided. I don't care what happens to it, just get Igbo people out of that nonsense country.

ObidientLPeko Buhari effect Why will you guys give him 5% vote

Everyone should kindly stand firm and collect his/her PVCs cos thats the only way things can be changed for good. While u brazen up to hang diz 👇👇👇 in ur various offices few weeks time

cchukudebelu No Victor No Vanquished indeed.

It is only in the SE that d millitary open fire/kill pple in markets or areas..where they were attacked instead of going after the criminals who attacked them! If this MO was used upnorth for every time d army was attacked...those areas wud be sahara! I blame SE politicians

Over 700 YOUNG Civilians. YOUNG YOUTHS!

Nigerian Army are committing genocide against the Igbo's

How many inec and police station were burnt there?

Sowore need to be arrested again!! arrestsowore

nigeria aka zoo will definitely fall. Give it time, nigeria will be nonexistent.

The Nigerian government has killed more people than the Unknown gunmen, who is really terrorizing the east?

oguike_ejike These are jihadist terrorist in uniform

While Boko Haram Terrorists re destroying North, Nigeria Armies are destroying South East in so called democratic government. Igbos re really always crying victim, it's well. The only permanent thing in this life is change. Nothing lasts forever

UN cnnbrk BBCNews FedMinOfJustice cnni 10DowningStreet _AfricanUnion BBCAfrica POTUS NUJ_LFB washingtonpost MBuhari UN grant that has been hijacked by the government. Nigerians are suffering. We need help before we starve to death

I blame our governors. Those 1700 get pvc to vote. You added almajri while you reduced the youth. That is part of the structure of criminality PeterObi talks about.

Yet they will never be found in the North where Southern Kaduna communities were attacked and killed.

This is the true reflection off poor warfare strategy, you can never win a war fought on your turf. Even if you emerge victorious in the battle, the aftermath of the carnage will only be visible in your territory. IPOB is doing the job of their so called enemy for them.

That's why we want biafra Referendum

obiiiwill You don’t have the capacity to defeat Boko Haram, yet you deploy scarce Nigerian soldiers to the east to kill defenseless civilians and burn their houses. All in the name of preventing the eventual restoration of Biafra. Not sustainable.

MalachyOdo1 While Bandits and Terrorists are having a field day up north! Impressive STURV

The Nigerian Military are all that is wrong in the South East. They just go there and kill both the criminal elements and innocent civilians in the name of 'Operation Snake swallow 36 million' rubbish.

ONE NIGERIA

Meanwhile there is insurgency, terrorism, banditry in the north.. Ndị Igbo should be very careful and alert. They should know that they are seen like outcast in Nigeria and should not invite anarchy so the labour of our heroes past of after the war won't be in vain.

They killed civilians more than bokoharam, bandits n kidnappers all put together. South-East is their testing or training ground. I blame the elders in the south-East. They should protect their people. The Nig. Army keep procuring arms for insecurity to kill Nigerians.

700 civilians? Sowore!!!!!!!!

Aided by South Eastern politicians.

Meanwhile bokoharam is the number 1 citizen in the North

Hence it's that tweeted this, I would have believed, don't know when you will stop this fake & unnecessary tweet, you r just promoting hate & bigotry among us

Sowore your younger brother is member of Nigeria police , if you cause any chaos with this your fallacious & misleading fake news it will affect your own family too . Even IPOB apologists have realized those responsible for d killings hence their cry for d arrest of Simon ekpa

of youths, children, men and women have been summarily killed by the combined team of security forces in the Southeast. Where is the hypocritic IntlCrimCourt?. Where is the UN, where is the EUinNigeria, the Europarl_EN, the EU_Commission, the 10DowningStreet, the StateDept

DarltoBlack Hope uzodimma and soludo. You did this one. INTERSOCIETY thanks for 'doing' next to NOTHING about the issues. Go collect ur PVC and VOTE WISELY Nigeria.

Buhari conquered South East both in the civil war and after civil war

Everyone will point federal government..... The Igbos keep voting fools as governors

UN take a look at this

Civilian abi terrorist

Buhari and his government plans was second civil war,which he didn't get but he end up killing and destroying South East.

There is nothing like insecurity in southeast or criminals , what is going on is war against biafra agitator but they are not making it public becouse Nigerians with conscience will revolt . Igbo youths are dying and the police and soldiers are dying also . Stop he WAR !!!!!!

NIGERIA still remains the worst place for CHRISTIANS to live in the world.

There is a silent war going on in the east of Nigeria. A genocide of the Igbo tribe UN

SE don't want to learn . Money runs in their blood bad leadership is another problem. SE wake up

Are you surprised where Muhammadu Buhari and his cronies has the effrontery to release killer boko haram and reintegrate them back to the society and enrolled some of into Nigeria Army and other security outfits..

BiafranTweets Do we have national s Security, what we have here in Nigeria re terrorist govt wear military uniform to protect d interest of d fulani not for d interest of d general public

And how many terrorists have been killed or arrested in Southern Kaduna?

I think is a welcome development I say to the Nigerian military to continue their crackdown on criminal elements in that region

Orchestrated by Buhari and Hope Uzodimma.

officialABAT & APCUKingdom OfficialAPCNg HQNigerianArmy PoliceNG

There is an agenda to create an avalanche of unrest in the south east. The army burning houses and biz which I witnessed in Okigwe, Imo state this new year. There is so much police brutality that is unreported.

It is imperative that MBuhari and his cohorts are held accountable for this senseless loss of lives and property. As extrajudicial killings become a norm, that is what you get. Peace has never been brought by killings. Power-drunk rulers have ignored all requests for dialogue.

maybe it was the will of the Nigerian people themselves to split their country

Ever since the refusal of the new Buharị to free Nnamdị Kanu, this impostor has intensified his killing of the Igbos in Nigeria, whom he described as 'dot in a circle'. He has been burning their houses, raping their women, abducting them in their numbers. Buhari must be stopped

Bias bad co-operation' BBC 'and CNN can never carry these kind of news.

But why

This will not know peace, since you hv started playing politic with truth. The activity of unknown gunmen in that region is not eye saw but the security personnel went there to burn down their houses and kill the innocent soul bah?

Kemizee87 It happens on daily basis as a normal schedule yet not questions to it as suppose be of a conscious leader with humane conscience Which the world need to embrace peace and live life to its pick as planned.

ama5swag All they know how to do

Do these people not have Governors, representatives in the House of Reps, and Senators? Why are the leaders not raising these issues?

Tyrant Buhari is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide in igbo land. Buhari is using Nigeria state resources in fighting another civil war in South east, killing and slaughtering innocent igbo youths for no just cause.

It important to note that, South East was peaceful before APC came to power.

If this facts are right, then it is clear that North want to remain in power to suppress other regions

BiafranTweets Hope everyone is seeing it ?

They won't impose Nigeria on us. The end is here. They will label different lies on IPOB. Soon they will see what pass them.

The report on the killings and distraction is far more than what is presented here

The report is 💯 correct . Silent civil war is ongoing in South east ...the media are not covering it . The only fault in this report is that it failed to report how many police and army that fell .... Someone is ashamed to do that ....I think so

Sahara reporters and lies🤝

Is true

Igbophobia

Where in South East Lies everywhere in Nigeria

The more Nigeria exists, the more lives will be lost. Help Biafra Now. Allow division to go through.

Hope the world is keeping record

This is terrible.

And you say make dem no fight back Nigeria is not for everyone Politicians don sell the country for themselves Enikure

Just imagine. 😒😒

Just look at this hot mess…😒

God will deal with them... The soldiers and all their accomplice

Nigeria Army turned to terrorist, doing worse than bandits, unfortunately the areas whose people had been turned turned to IDPs that need the military deployment where left out, but they are trying to create IDPs in other regions that not terrorizing people

All those criminal writing petitions and blackmailing simon_ekpa will not see this report now as firsthand evidence to start writing petitions. Cowards everywhere.

You underestimated the criminality and injustice mated against biafrians buy fulani terrorist police, and army in uniform.

Disturbing. What is more disenfranchising than this?

Na little dey see

They gave us 2nd Niger bridge. Ndi ara

Sai baba

This shows the hatred the Nigeria government have on the south east and no one Nigeria

Nigeria and Biafra are at war already

The end is near

NigeriaGov NGRPresident MBuhari NGRSenate OSIBaltimore Una end is near, Una children and una generation will never know peace. Una don digged their grave and una know the next thing👎

Clap for the security personnel. That is the President 8years achievement. They look away from Terrorists infested North, look away from Terrorists Fulani, terrorists herdsmen, terrorists Boko Haram, Terrorists Bandit, but concentrated in South East for brisk money, since no SARS

AmnestyNigeria amnestyusa amnesty UN UNHumanRights UNWatch POTUS BBCWorld cnnbrk Is it because we're Black's that's why you people don't want to talk?

The civil war not over yet

History to me

Says IPOB propaganda wing

Genocide

But will the brutalities and lawlessness go without consequences? In saner climes, all actions go with consequences and accountabilities. I hope there must be accountabilities.

Nigerian government spearheading terrorism.

Shoutout to IPOB and its enablers

They brought war to southeast for no reason... God will judge them, for the innocent lives they've taken and the pains they caused widows...amem

Our problem in this country isn’t politicians but those committing crimes against humanity by the order given by leaders.

Even with these atrocities from the foolani terrorist criminals of Nigeria, in police and army uniform, some ignorant black people in the foolani evil jungle called Nigeria, still want to validate the force unity that has been killing them over the years. Shame.

This was Buhari achievement in the SouthEast Nigeria

That the one Nigeria they always want to force down the throat of Igbos.

Since after war 1967-70 the war is still on going till date and all the media are mute they are trying very hard to push our ppl to IDP camp wt the help of our governors as there stooge

Nigeria is worst than jungle, all my life in many countries, i can't see their military outside barracks, many other countries use diff. military uniform, U hadly see it on them even while going home, they cover it or take it off while on street. But here army is roaming street

Please give us the breakdown of mayhem perpetrated by the unknown gunman (IPOB) let's connect

The genocide never left rather it was reformed and renamed. Igbos are still being killed till date in Nigeria 🇳🇬

The amount of police brutality and wicked killings by the military in the south east is soo painful They brought down a poor widow's house and now the woman is homeless on the pretense that the housel is harbouring an IPOB Member In Ahiazu mbaise LGA., Amano Obohia to be precise

Imagine burning a private residences, this is just a PROXY war onging and the SE politicians are quite because they are part of it by proxy!. But just yesterday, terroriist APC GOVT rehabilated 618 BH to 2 society. Without restruction/divide, we go no where & more POVERTY increas

YEAR IN REVIEW: Some victims of senseless killings in Nigeria’s South-east in 2022The total number of people killed in the South-east may never be known and most of the victims may never get justice. Very sad what pride, ego and power has brought to Igbo Nation. It was never about Ndi-Igbo or no one with Igbo blood will go killing fellow Igbo. Ndi Igbo are Igbo and looking forward to Igbo Nation's emergence, not an Ijaw-less one for example.
