“One of them showing rampaging youths in an Igbo-speaking part of the country searching buses and asking if there are certain Nigerians within, with voices protesting that such Nigerians were not in the buses and another video with young men being forced by men dressed in the uniform of the Nigerian Army to lie in the mud by the road side. By these now prostrate young men is the flag of the secessionist ‘Biafra’ agitators. Other items in the colours of ‘Biafra’ are also visible. The scene changes in that second video and some of the young men appear dead and motionless. Blood and wounds are certainly visible. It is impossible for me to know whether these videos are social media contraptions or actual. The videos however, are clearly incendiary,” Akaraiwe said. He further requested that if the investigation shows that the videos are true: 1. That in this season of anomie, a state of emergency be imposed on any state in the country where citizens are harassed, threatened or murdered by mobs for any reason whatsoever particularly on grounds of where they come from. 2. That the Federal Government within 24 hours hereafter investigate, and if accurate, arrest and prosecute those ‘soldiers’ responsible for making citizens lie in the mud and shooting them. Even in the doubtful possibility that some of those young men were not killed, it is beneath the pale of social justice for citizens to be compelled to lie down in the mud for any reason whatsoever. 3. The moral authority of the Federal Government to dispassionately impose a state of emergency is however severely eroded if soldiers of the Nigerian Army are actually responsible for the humiliation of citizens and what seems to be their eventual execution, in the other video. The government must this take steps to restore confidence in itself by conducting an open, unbiased and immediate investigation. ]]>
