UPDATE: For many young Igbo males, being labeled an IPOB member is literally a “kiss of death”. This photo bears young MICHAEL ONYEDIKACHI AHIZE, who was reportedly arrested in September 2022 by a combined team of DSS and the Army, and detained since then, without being charged or brought to Court.
In the words of the Good Samaritan who brought this to my attention: “When Ahize was arrested, he was first taken to the DSS (Owerri) for ‘questioning’, then moved to Tiger Base (Owerri), and later transferred to Imo State Police Command. Later, he was taken back to the DSS for further questioning at some point before being returned to the Imo State Police Command, which remains his last known location.”
Let me add this: Oftentimes, young Igbo males are arrested on flimsy grounds or set-up, and then quickly labeled IPOB to justify indefinite detention. which sometimes escalate to torture and extrajudicial killing.
It just has to stop. Ndigbo must band together and vigorously fight this persistent selective injustice. Every detainee deserves his day in Court. It’s a basic human right.
If you come across this post, please share it widely, in the hope that it will help in our efforts to , or accord him his day in Court. THANK YOU.
