OPEN LETTER TO THE UN,
US, UK: ALERT ON IMPENDING
GENOCIDE IN EASTERN NIGERIA
Date: 23 May 2020
Dear Secretary-General; The
United Nations,
While the whole world has been
pre-occupied with the existential threats to humanity posed by the global
pandemic, momentous developments have been taking place in Nigeria which we
feel compelled to bring to the attention of the United Nations.
At the end of March 2020,
General Mohammadu Buhari, President of Nigeria declared a national lockdown,
barring Nigerians from coming out of their homes and declaring “no-movement”
for cars except those on essential duties and no inter-state travels.
But under the cover of the
COVID 19 lock-down, thousands of armed men between the ages of 18 and 35 years
were being systematically transported across the length of Nigeria, over 1,000
kilometers from Northern Nigeria to occupy South East Nigeria, including other
Southern parts of Nigeria.
They came hidden amidst bags of
cement, inside oil tankers. They also came mixed with sack and sacks of beans,
tomatoes and onions, while others simply boarded commercial vehicles and long
distance trucks belonging to Dangote industries. The federal government’s claim
of moving food from Northern Nigeria to the South of Nigeria turned out a cover
for those who were moving arms and armed men into the South Eastern hinterland.
On interception, it was
gathered that the men are Fulani militias coming from all over Africa. It is
understood that they are encouraged to come to Nigeria where the Life Patron of
the Fulani World-wide Association of Cattle breeders, “MIYETTI ALAH” is the
President of the Nigeria. Fulanis have historically harboured the dream of
occupying one country all on their own in the African continent. Since General
Buhari’s accent as President of Nigeria in 2015, they have seen Nigeria as the
easiest place to take over, and the time of Buhari’s presidency as the best
moment to strike.
In the past five years, there
has been a massive influx of Fulanis, many of whom do not speak English,
applying and obtaining Nigerian passports. Others have spread all over the
South especially South East Nigeria, using their cattle to eat up farm
products, killing the farmers, raping their wives and daughters, burning down
villages. In Nsukka, Enugu State, they wiped out a whole village. In Anambra
state, the people of Amansea community in Awka South local Government Area
awoke one day to see the bodies of 30 men of their village floating on EZU
River, there have been various other attacks in every part of Igboland such as,
Imo State, Abia State, Ebonyi State and in other native Igboland across the
River Niger such as Ibuzo, Okpanam and Asaba areas of Delta State Nigeria.
None of the perpetrators of
these crimes have been arrested or questioned, these crimes against humanity
have gone without check, condemnation or a word of caution from the government
of Buhari, he seems to relish each and every attack on the Igbos.
Buhari himself had in 2017,
under the guise of a military operation code named Operation Python Dance
mauled to death hundreds of unarmed Igbo youths whose only crime was to
exercise their natural and inalienable rights to Self Determination, which
rights are recognized and guaranteed in the United Nations Charter on Human
Rights. Many of the youths that were arrested during this atrocious and
barbaric military operation are still in detention at undisclosed locations,
some have died in detention and their remains buried in unmarked mass grave,
while some have been permanently damaged and maimed.
To heighten these bizarre
occurrences, helicopters were sighted on several occasions at night, dropping
supplies for unknown persons in the thick forests of South Eastern (Igbo)
heartland.
In 2019, the Fulani dominated
federal government of Nigeria attempted to advance the agenda of occupation by
creating colonies for Fulani people in every state of the federation. The
scheme called the “Ruga Settlement” scheme was discovered and a massive outcry
and opposition ensued forcing government to suspend it temporarily.
Now, the proponents have
adopted a more brazen, violent tactic of armed conquest and land occupation.
That was why while other
Nigerians took cover to survive COVID-19, the Fulani were busy making more
frantic efforts to conquer and occupy South Eastern Nigeria. What is
bewildering is that the five states of South East Nigeria put together are only
29,525 square kilometers. This is less that the size of Kogi state, one of the
smallest states in Northern Nigeria (29,833) square kilometers. Niger State of
Nigeria alone is bigger in land mass than the South East and South South of
Nigeria put together.
Based on this, the idea is taking
hold that their mission is not driven by a financial motive but must be
propelled by a more compelling force
2.
We believe that at the heart of
this move is their long mission to force a change of religion and lifestyle on
the people of Eastern Nigeria (IGBOs).
What has made the plan all the
easier to execute is the complete control of the Nigerian government, Armed
Forces and Police by people of Fulani decent and their northern accomplices.
One of the first actions taken by President Buhari on ascent to the Presidency
of Nigeria was to ensure the total control of the security architecture of the
country by Fulanis and their Northern allies. Today, the Chief of Air Staff,
the Chief of Army Staff, the Director General of State Security Services, the
National Security Adviser, the Director General of National Intelligence Agency
“NIA”, the Head of Customs and the Inspector General of Police are all
Northerners and Fulanis. Only the Chief of Naval Staff is from Southern
Nigeria. At the same time, all South Easterners on the top three tiers of the
Arms Forces and security were retired. As a result, the security of the country
is planned and executed by one ethnic group that constitutes less than 2% of
the population, to the exclusion of people of Southern Nigeria.
This letter is to brief you and
alert the United Nations on what appears to be an impending, well coordinated
plan to attack, cleanse Eastern Nigeria of the Igbo stock, occupy and foist the
Moslem religion on the area, taking advantage of the confusion and weaknesses
introduced by the pandemic.
We assure you that we in the
South East of Nigeria and Igbo land will not allow this to happen.
We therefore urge you to kindly
advise the federal government of Nigeria not to further support or lend
protection to this scheme which will without any doubt stir up big problems for
the country. The President should be advised to identify and immediately take
stringent action against members of his government involved in this obsession
for conquest and land occupation in South Eastern Nigeria.
We conclude by requesting the
United Nations, the United States Government, and the International Community
to do all in their powers to halt this barbaric endeavor which has gone on
under the watch of federal government officials for some time now.
While looking forward to your
kind prompt intervention, we extend the highest respects of the people of
Eastern Nigeria to you and your organization.
Most Respectfully,
Austin Okeke Esq.
