On September 10, 2017, the Nigerian Army, in full battle gear, descended with Armored Personnel Carriers and seven Hilux vans at the Afaraukwu, Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State, the home country of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra that has been agitating for secession of the Igbo from the loose arrangement, albeit fractious, geographical expanse called Nigeria, to quell any uprising that could develop at IPOB’s civil protest. What happened was a repeat of the 1966 pogrom. The Nigerian soldiers rounded up Igbo youths in their teens, led them to a muddy water half-naked, forced them to drink the deadly water, then shot them dead. Others were killed outside the stream. The video of this atrocity is making rounds in the social media. Confronted, the Nigerian Army claimed that the youths were pelting the soldiers with stones. Really? There was no video to prove that bogus claim, even though each soldier had a cell phone to record the alleged provocation. No soldier has showed any injury sustained from the alleged pelting. Even if the soldiers were pelted as claimed, does that justify the deadly force used? Could these children have been shot in the legs? Besides, the Nigerian soldiers sent in what was tagged Operation Python Dance II did not include any soldiers of Igbo extraction in the Nigerian military. The soldiers were drawn from other parts of the country, especially from the Muslim North, leaving us with the inference that this was an operation to kill ruthlessly like a python. Why was the Nigerian Army, instead of the Nigerian Police, sent to disperse a peaceful demonstration? What was the motive other than to kill?

The 1966 anti-Igbo pogrom was a series of massacres directed at Igbo and other people of southern Nigerian origin living in northern Nigeria starting in May 1966 and reaching a peak after 29 September 1966.[1] During this period 30,000-50,000 Igbo civilians were murdered throughout northern Nigeria by Hausa-Fulani soldiers and civilians who sought revenge for the 1966 Nigerian coup d'état, carried out by 6 Igbo Majors and 3 Igbo Captains and resulted in the deaths of 11 Nigerian politicians and army officers.[2] These events led to the secession of the eastern Nigerian region and the declaration of the Republic of Biafra, which ultimately led to the Nigeria-Biafra war.[1] The 1966 massacres of southern Nigerians have been described as a holocaust by some authors[3] and have variously been described as riots, pogroms or genocide.
