SOuth Africa
- It emphasizes that only Biafra can be good for Igbos
The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to the killing
of one Mr. Tochukwu Victor Nnadi, a Nigerian in South Africa.
IPOB compared the killing of Nnadi by policemen in South Africa
to the killing of Igbos in Nigeria and said only the creation of
Biafra can be the best move for Igbos.
Vanguard reports that in a statement by Mazi Innocent Alia ,
Zonal Coordinator Cape Town in South Africa demanded the
probing of the death of Nnadi in the custody of South African
Police, Cape Town CBD on December 29 2016.
“According to eye witness statements and of onlookers,
observers and some IPOB members present during the
confrontation that led to the arrest and instant death of Nnadi, it
was unanimously agreed among them that no other explanation
can be given other than, that the young man was brutally killed by
some sadistic members of the South African police after he was
arrested and handcuffed for suspicion over dealing in dr*gs.”
“Furthermore, the death of Nnadi should serve as a timely
reminder to all sons and daughters of Biafra that no place, not
Nigeria and not even South Africa, can ever be compared to an
independent Republic of Biafra.”
Ikechukwu Anyene, the president of Nigeria Union in South Africa,
confirmed the death to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on
telephone from Pretoria.
According to Anyene, an eye witnesses saw the police handcuff
the victim and suffocated him to death.
“When the people saw what happened, they raised an alarm and
confronted the police.
“The union`s chapter in Cape Town is already on top of the
situation and trying its best to facilitate the release of the
detained brother of the deceased,” he said.
