A
new video has been released by international human rights watchdog,
Amnesty International, on how pro-Biafran protesters were massacred by
the Nigerian army.
Amnesty International, AI, the global human rights watchdog, has
released a video showing how security agents killed 150 peaceful
pro-Biafra agitators.
It will be recalled that the body had on Thursday accused the Nigerian military of killing 150 agitators for Biafra in the Southeastern part of Nigeria, stressing that the killing was intentional.
The human rights body accused military operatives of gunning down
unarmed civilians before a march to mark the anniversary of the 1967
Biafran declaration of independence, stressing that based on visits to
hospitals and mortuaries, at least 17 were killed and nearly 50 injured
in Onitsha alone.
But the Nigerian Army faulted the report, saying that AI was only championing a campaign of calumny against Nigeria’s military.
Following the Army’s claim, the rights watchdog released a video to back up its claim.
