 Ohanaeze to police Respect human rights in Igboland

iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has reacted to the Tuesday’s launch of Operation Restore Peace by the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Usman Alkali Baba.

Ohanaeze in a statement by Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said though the peace initiative was a welcome development, it must be without brutality or extra judicial killings.

“Nigeria Police Force and all sister agencies should adopt different strategies with human face to achieve desired results. We believe that police must have learnt enough lessons from ENDSARS protests,”  Mazi Okechukwu said.

Mazi Okechukwu, added “we expect a different approache to de-escalate the crisis and violence in the Southeast; there should be townhall meetings between police and all stakeholders in the Southeast.

“Killer herdsmen and bandits ravaging the North are now in the Southeast and must be dealt with ruthlessly.

“We are aware of other challenges but definitely attacks on police formations will end in the Southeast when police show remorseful actions through upholding human rights in “Operation Restore Peace”.
