Those who were lucky to escape their bullets they chased out of their ancestral land. Women and children were not spared in this brutal wickedness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Powerful also listed communities affected by the killings in Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThe list of hapless communities affected by the evil action of Hope Uzodinma and his partners in crime include but not limited to the following:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOboh Umutanze, Attah, Okporo, Amaifeke, Ihioma, Ama-azu, Amannachi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNnempi, Akata, Orsuihiteukwa, Umutanze<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is imperative to call Hope Uzodinma and his criminal gang to order and ask him why he used soldiers and police personnel to eliminate innocent Imo youths. Mortuaries across Imo State especially in Owerri are filled with unclaimed corpses who are buried in mass grave or destroyed with acid from time to time. The atrocities committed by Hope Uzodinma extends to many communities in the South Eastern region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are asking Hope Uzodinma and his APC party Why do they derive joy in killing innocent Biafra youths in a cold-blood while Fulani bandits and terrorists go unchallenged in their killing spree across Nigeria? What crime did Imo youths commit to deserve the on-going secret genocide in the state?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IPOB urged the United Nations, America, British High Commissioners, Israeli Ambassador, German Ambassador, French Ambassador, Canadian Ambassador, Japanese Ambassador, Australian Ambassador, Amnesty International to investigate the alleged killings of youth in Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe call on the United Nations, America, British High Commissioner, Israeli Ambassador, German Ambassador, French Ambassador, Canadian Ambassador, Japanese Ambassador, Australian Ambassador, Amnesty International, Intersociety groups, Human Rights Watch and all Human Rights Organisations across the globe to send investigation team to these communities and find out what the situation is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will confirm to their amazement that nobody is dwelling in these communities. Imo youths and people have been indiscriminately and mercilessly killed by Fulani terrorist soldiers deployed in Imo State by the federal government in collaboration with Hope Uzodinma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe incessant killing of the youths of these communities has turned the affected communities into Ghost towns. IPOB is out now to expose these atrocities committed by Hope Uzodinma, Nigeria Army and police including Ebubeagu security outfit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s too appalling that Ebubeagu security outfit would join hands in killing our people and call them unknown gunmen.
