Southeast leaders can fix this. But will they?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIgbos being absent from security formations in SE is why each time the witch cries at night in SE &amp; the baby dies in the morning. The \u2018security report\u2019 always says it\u2019s not the witch that killed the baby. In other words, the victims of the massacre become villains. #Awomamma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re IPOB members has been the constant official justification each time these #Massacres in SE happen. If latching on IPOB is intended to paint the hapless victims as unworthy of Igbo outrage, it won\u2019t work because, IPOB or not, they\u2019re still Igbos &amp; IPOB is not unworthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
