Don’t incite other tribes against Ndigbo — Aka Ikenga; berates DSS over claims of mass grave discovery in Abia State

Pan-Igbo socio-political group, the Aka Ikenga, has berated the Directorate of State Services (DSS) over its claims of finding the graves of 5 Fulani men in a forest in Abia State, and further allegations that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group was responsible for the act.
A statement by Aka Ikenga made available to Global Patriot Newspapers and signed by the group’s President-General, Chief Goddy Uwazurike, Wednesday, described the allegations as ‘lacking in authenticity and depth,’ even as it further demanded an autopsy on the deceased to ascertain their identities.
“Aka Ikenga is puzzled at how the DSS came about some conclusions, the chief of which is that they were Fulani people. If the bodies are decomposing and no autopsy has been done, how can anybody describe the deceased as Fulani? Is it by their wears? Many Igbo people wear Hausa Fulani clothes.
“Secondly, how did the DSS come to the conclusion that the Indigenous People of Biafra group was responsible for the death of those men? Or is it a speculation?
“Aka Ikenga questions the whole story as lacking in authenticity and depth.
“This is because without an autopsy, there is no way DSS can identify the victims.
“Aka Ikenga demands a public autopsy to be carried out by specialists from the Nigerian Medical Association, Abia State Branch, the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, the Abia State Government, the Civil Society Groups and of course the DSS. This was procedure adopted on M.K.O.”
On the culprits, the group maintained that a thorough investigation must be carried out to identify them. This is just as it accused the security agency of inciting ‘other tribes against Ndigbo.’
“Aka Ikenga has noted with alarm the new toga of DSS. The press release is a smoking gun in that it can incite other tribes against Ndigbo. This is condemnable and must be denounced by all well-meaning people.
“Aka Ikenga has noted that the Fulani menace is nationwide and never for once has the DSS condemned the killing, maiming, rape, arson and destruction attributed to the Fulani Herdsmen. Indeed, such activities like abduction of the elder statesman, Olu Falae, the Taraba killings, Agatu mayhem, do not merit the reaction of the DSS.
“Aka Ikenga commends the Abia State Government for issuing a rebuttal on this incident.
“Peace is an expensive commodity let us maintain it,” the statement read.
