Professor WS. With all due respect you have spoken well. Everyone speaks well in this country. Let me ask how can MNK be tried in a Country that have no rule of law and a judicial system? The Chief Justice and other important positions have been occupied by these Monsters in human skin. How can he be tried justly? You are speaking from afar but stay in you shell and refuse to act. You so called prominent men knows what to do to stop these nonsense but because it’s called “table manner” you don’t talk while eating, you men only come out speak English and go to bed. This is the only man MNK together with Sunday Igboho who have stood up to act more and talk less yet you allow secondary school holder to give professors order on what to do in this country. What a shame. Zero educational system, evil politics, zero everything with huge amount of money going round in the pocket of the so called Elits. I only thank God it’s only money you guys have not an extra life if not ....hmmmmm!

[@primeminister51]

With all due respect to you sir, IPOB has never accepted nor admitted responsibility for the killings of police officers and the destruction of government facilities. We must resist the temptation of using government talking points to impugn the legitimacy of IPOB's position of self-determination. I reiterate, IPOB is none violent and peaceful movement whose sole purpose is to break away from Nigeria through an international-backed referendum.

Point of correction Sir, IPOB never claimed responsibility for the killing of any police man in Nigeria. Never ever! Only meyetti Allah takes responsibility for mayhem in parts of the country. I just thought this clarification is expedient going forward.

Why they didn't talking about police and army killing of Biafras and aducting them and 28 men's kill in Nnamdi kanu house and Biafran youths that drinking mud water and after kill all of them and the bodies of Biafra youths found in oji river Sea. But talking about police that was killing by politically people that even imo state governor say is political not ipob is killing police and army in Easterners regions.

[@loveisgood6219]

If you don't agree on police being slaughtered do you agree on police killing innocent citizens, Miyetti Allah in army uniforms killing farmers in their homes and farms repeatedly, cutting bodies of their victims into pieces? The other day 73 people were slaughtered in Benue State just in one day. The same scenario are seen in Edo, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi, Abia, Imo, Anambra, Enugu and other parts of Biafra. You only saw the police being killed. If we may ask, who started the killings in the first place? What is the meaning of farmers/herders clash? We all know that the word 'clash" means 'A' coming from Ogun and 'B' coming from Edo, and meet somewhere to fight. How can someone come all the way from Sahel outside Nigeria to Ijebu Ode or Aba and wipe some families out only to call it farmers/herders clash? Does it make sense? Oga Soyinka please shine your eyes, these people are out there to conquer and enslave you and I.
