The apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has alleged that the dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram and bandits had killed about 2,355 Igbos under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Ohanaeze said Boko Haram and bandits had sacrificed more Igbos without compensation from Buhari’s government.

Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of the body, spoke against the backdrop of attacks that accompanied the alleged killing of Northerners in the South East.

Isiguzoro said Ohanaeze would continue to partner with South East governors in tackling insecurity in the region.

A statement by Isiguzoro said, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has accepted the burden and responsibilities on behalf of the political, community, and religious leaders of South East extraction, to denounce the slaying of Northerners and Southeasterners, who were casualties of the carnages and imported chaos witnessed in the South East.

“Ndigbo will continue to work in partnership with the South East Governors to ensure that normalcy returns to the South East but compel the Federal Government to first remove the pieces of dust in their eyes before helping Ndigbo to remove the log of woods in our eyes.

“The APC-led Federal Government has been reluctant to rescue her abducted citizens who are currently in the hands of terrorists for only a crime they committed by using the Abuja/ Kaduna Passengers Train.

“We are stunned over the blackmail from ACF and NEF against the South East politicians over the killing of Northerners in the South East, when the Northern political leadership and cultural organizations always turn blind eyes to the kidnapping and massacres of Christians, mainly Southerners across the North, especially in Kaduna.

”It is on record that since the inception of President Buhari’s administration in 2015, Igbos have felt the worst hit of the Boko Haram and bandits’ activities in the North, and over 2,355 Igbos had sacrificed their lives under the present government without any form of Federal Government’s compensation for the bereaved families.”
