The atrocities and brutal killings of Hausa Muslims by terrorist groups of indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, who are disguising as ESN or unknown gunmen in the southeastern part of Nigeria, have continued to generate reactions.
Daily Episode gathered from videos and pictures making rounds of social media with the corpses of Hausa traders, Okada riders, and articulated vehicle drivers lying helplessly on the roadside in Anambra state with multiple gunshots and knife stabs.
Recall that a pregnant woman named Harira Jubril and her four children were brutally killed by terrorists on Sunday, May 22, at Isulo, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State, an act that exposes the silent killings of northerners in the northwest by IPOB terrorists.
Hired Agitators On Ramparts Terrorism
Since the revival of the BIAFRAN country agitation by their arrested leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the separatists have launched indiscriminate attacks on police, military, and government properties across the southeast, incidents that hinder social activities in the region.
However, a leader of the Hausa community in the Ihiala local government area of Anambra state, Malam Usman Abdullahi, has confirmed the brutal killings of Hausa Muslims, humiliation, and silent killings of non-indigenous and natives by the IPOB terrorists.
Abdullahi noted that they have begun to flee the southeast for the safety of their lives, as their properties and other belongings cannot be retrieved for fear of ambush while leaving the IPOB terrane.
My brother Aliyu and Abdullahi, who sells roasted meat, were both killed in such a callous manner. Even the police could not help us retrieve the remains of Abdullahi as the DPO confirmed that he couldn’t dispatch his officers to the scene due to a sit-at-home order imposed by the terrorists.
We always cry in vain, because people like Harira Jubril and her children, Fatima, 9; Khadijah, 7; Hadiza, 5; and Zaituna, 2, including the one in the womb, did not deserve to die in such a way that no justice can be seen or heard for their departed souls. He added
Gruesome Killings of Native Speakers
Both the Igbo natives and other minorities in the region are also victims of the terrorist act. The situation has for quite a long time consumed the lives and properties of both classes of people in the region.
Many Igbos, both at home and abroad, celebrated the terror act, believing that the terrorists were freedom fighters seeking an independent nation.
They appeared to be more powerful in many instances, imposing many laws by which everyone must abide, or else the penalty will cost a life no matter the situation.
Okey Okoye, a serving member representing Aguata North Constituency, was recently kidnapped and beheaded by terrorists in the region.
However, a military couple who are both Igbo natives from the southeast region of the country, Audu M. Linus (retired) and his wife, Gloria Matthew, were ambushed on their way to their traditional wedding and were gruesomely murdered by the terrorists.
Daily Episode gathered that the wife, Gloria, was raped before she was beheaded alongside her husband on their most happiest and celebrated day.
Things falling without a plan to address by the leadership of the region, with things going wrong in the direction of Boko-Haram terrorism in northwest Nigeria, brutal killings of Hausa Muslims, and any other must be stopped.
