The apex Igbo youth organization Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), has advised Ndigbo and Christian security officers in various Nigerian departments to consistently stay on guard.
The Council gave the advice through its national President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka after the extended security meeting of the council on the rising insecurity challenges in Nigeria.
Igboayaka said the group had called on the Christian leaders in Nigeria “to urgently convoke security council summit and prepare for the worst ahead or be ready to be eliminated by the state wicked actors in disguise of bandit, Fulani herdsmen killers, kidnappers and Boko Haram.
He noted that the killing of Lt. Chinecherem Okoronkwo by Bandits at Nigeria Defense Academy, Kaduna was a clear proof that the Igbos and Christian security officers working in government are targeted for extinction, annihilation, maiming and slaughtering by the organized Fulani militia otherwise known as Bandits and Boko Haram.
He said the Boko Haram had also been terrorizing other ethnic nationalities in the country.
According to him, the gruesome killing of late Okoronkwo is the launching of ethnic cleansing of Igbo and Christian in military, Navy, Airforce, police and other security forces in Nigeria.
“The manner of killing of Okoronkwo and how the bandit displayed the video of his corpse is quite inciting.
“This is a calculating attempt by the government actors (the sponsors of this criminal elements), to humiliate Ndigbo and Christians.
This manner of killing wouldn’t stop in military, Navy, Airforce police and other security department if the Igbo and christian security agents keep mute without any proactive measure.
“The killing of Igbo and Christian force men in Nigeria security department will hence take different dimensions, some will look like accident, mistake, banditry, kidnapping killing and dying in disguise of fighting Boko Haram,” Igboayaka revealed.
Speaking further, he lamented, “It’s regrettable that over 30 million Igbo youths, governors, senators, Federal representative members, ministers, Senior officers in Nigeria security department of Igbo extraction have not raise questions and to investigate the circumstances leading to Okoronkwo death”, he said.
He, therefore, charged all Christian leaders, Catholics, Anglican and Methodist Bishops, all other General Overseers of the teaming churches to awaken from their slumber.
Igboayaka warned against envisaged, impending assassination of more Christians in various sectors in a couple of weeks, if nothing is done to avert same.
“They are working to weaken the internal and external security of Nigeria as they have penetrated even the security intelligence,” he said.
