BIAFRA: THE MOLESTATION OF BIAFRAN WOMEN BY THE NIGERIAN MILITARY IS A SACRILEGE

After denial of the killing of the Indigenous People of Biafra despite genuine evidence scattered everywhere; It is no more news that the Nigerian military is still clamping down on Biafrans and displaying their madness and weight towards unarmed peaceful Biafrans instead of unleashing them on Boko Haram Islamic terrorists and the jihadist wild Fulani herdsmen who have been causing havoc, terrorising and killing people all over the country.
Despite peaceful approach taken by Biafrans to avoid crises and what may be called break down of law; the Nigerian government and military, who are bent on and determined to crush, are not relenting as they keep on arresting, intimidating and killing Biafrans who are peacefully exercising their right for self-determination.

Many cases of human right abuses have been exhibited by the Nigerian government and military but the recent molestation of Biafran women by the Nigerian military at Abiriba, Abia State in Biafra land, where they were holding their conference is totally unacceptable as it is a sacrilege and an abomination in Biafra land to hit and molest women to the extent that they had to strip naked to resist and protest against it.
This terroristic act  towards our women is a call for the return of what is more than the 1929 Aba Women's War otherwise known as 1929 Riot. As a matter of fact, it is another provocation for war which Biafrans will not take lightly because we(Biafrans) respect and value our women.
It is totally insane for a government who claims to respect human rights and rights of the indigenous people, to attack and molest women who  committed no crime.

By violating the right for Social gathering of the Biafran women,  it is  another proof that the Nigerian government has no single respect for women else they would have known that an attack on women to such extent is malevolent and sacrilegeous.

We have been humiliated, killed, inhumanely treated and our rights trampled upon; we Biafrans tolerated them all but we will not for a minute, tolerate any attack on our women.

With this medium; am earnestly calling on the world at large and whosoever it may concern, to warn the Nigerian government and military, to desist from molesting and attacking our mothers. Any further attempt or attack on the Biafran women, will cease the peaceful approach for the restoration of Biafra and it will certainly summon the violence and war which the Nigerian government seek.
