Ex-Soldier to IPOB: Why You Shouldn't Celebrate COAS Attahiru's Death

First, Gen Attahiru was not in any unit in the east, when those atrocities were committed.

Secondly, during his stint as the GOC 82 DIV NA, he barely spent two months in a row in the office, as he was also a member of Arms Deal Probe Panel. His Chief Of Staff and BDE commanders who most times receive orders from Abuja were running the show.

Lastly, if Buratai was still the COAS when this unknown gun men thing began, I don’t think we would be here discussing this. …the whole of South East would feel it.

You are not more Igbo than I am…….you don’t feel the pain of those senseless killings more than I do, but I still stand here to tell you that, if there is anything Attahiru would do, it is to stop Genocide from being committed against our people, even if it means going against power that be, or even losing his life.

I didn’t just wake up to make these assertions..

Remember, I served in both Onitsha and Enugu as a soldier.

I witnessed this things, firsthand.

I am not going to discuss everything here….but you’re free to run with your opinion.”
