Igboayaka in an interactive session with newsmen in Owerri on Tuesday, after extended security meeting of the council as regards the rising security challenges in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Comrade Igboayaka noted that the killing of MC Okoronkwo by Bandits at Nigeria Defense Academy Kuduna was a clear proof that the Igbos and Christian security officers working for the Nigerian government are targeted for extinction, annihilation, maiming and slaughtering by the organized Fulani militia otherwise known as Bandits and Boko Haram who have been terrorizing other ethnic nationalities in the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to the embittered youth leader, the gruesome killing of Lt. MC Okoronkwo is a launching of ethnic cleansing of Igbo and Christian in military, Navy, Airforce, police and other security forces in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>His words,\u201d \u201cThe manner of killing of Lt. Chinecherem Okoronkwo and how the bandit displayed the video of his corpse is quite inciting to Ndigbo and Christian community. This manner of killing wouldn\u2019t stop in military, Navy, Airforce police and other security department if the Igbo and christian security agents keep mute without any proactive measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, he lamented thus: \u201cIt\u2019s regrettable that over 30 million Igbo youths, Governors, Senators, Reps members, Ministers, Senior officers in Nigeria security department of Igbo extraction have not raised questions, as to investigate the circumstances leading to Lt. MC Okoronkwo\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll Christian leaders, Catholics, Anglicans and Methodist Bishops, all other General Overseers of the teaming churches must wake up now, because in subsequent weeks and months more Igbos and Christian security officers maybe assassinated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are working to weaken the internal and external security of Nigeria as they have penetrated even the security intelligence. What\u2019s going on in Nigeria is not a mere insecurity of societal crime, but there is a state calculated crime against Ndigbo and Christians at large in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
