Ohaneze youths demand return of Bakassi, IPOB as regional security outfit

The Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has urged South East governors to reinstate the proscribed Bakassi vigilante group and that of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to form part of the regional security outfit for the zone.

The group made this known through a statement signed by the President and secretary general of OhanezeYouth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, respectively.

The group urged the Federal Government to tender apology to IPOB members for the unwarranted embarrassment and other humiliations they must have passed through in the course of trying to preserve and protect the South East zone from the hands of invaders.

The group said: “We had witnessed continuous verbal disagreement between Southeast Governors, political leaders, and IPOB members, which had affected adversely the political fortunes and unity, and portrayed Igbo Nation as not united in pursuit of our collective interests, based on the missing link that was created in the absence of our departed Supreme leaders, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu, Dr. Alex Ekwueme and HRM Eze Ezebuilo Ozobu.

“We call for a truce amongst warring parties and stakeholders, as we had initiated appropriate steps and lasting measures to ensure that peace returns to Igbo land by openly tendering apology to IPOB for all the perceived injustices melted on them by other stakeholders and also our apologies to the South East Governors for the abusive words they had received in the course to repositioning Igbos from other stakeholders.

“We had the mandate of some eminent Igbo personalities and Igbo Youths to tender unreserved apologies to all warring parties and stakeholders, and interface with all, considering with substantial evidence that Igbo external detractors had sponsored division amongst warring parties and are fueling crisis with the evil intent to continuous wreak havoc on the unity of Igbos, having lost out in the scheme of things at the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of Government. OYC seeks for peace, harmony towards restoration of the resilient vigour of Igbo nation.

“OYC seeks the return of proscribed Bakassi Vigilant groups, or seek the partnership between Southeast Governors and IPOB, MASSOB for a Regional Security outfit for the South East, and after proper verification and Consultative meetings, OYC renames the Proposed Regional Security outfit ” from Ogbunigwe to Otawike” as a well accepted code, which will be a non bearing arms and intelligent gathering outfit for the territorial protection of South East from incessant crime committed through our porous boundaries with Middle belt and North Central states.

Outrightly ‘Otawike’ will be formed from hunters and other stakeholders. “Amotekun and Otawike offer a lasting measures and solutions for peace to return to the South West and East, as there are already such outfit in the North, the Civilian JTF and Sharia Police.

“We support any informal meeting between the Attorney General of Nigeria with all the Southern Governors on the proposal for regional security outfits to compliment efforts of the federal security agents to arrest Insecurity challenges in the South.

“Anyone else fighting against Regional Security outfits in the South are proponents and beneficiaries of insecurity challenges facing Nigeria and should be arrested for such stance, or rather the Attorney General of Nigeria should suspend the Northern Security outfit, Civilian JTF and Sharia Police in the North,” the group stated.
