PYTHON DANCE 3 plot for intimidation, killing of Igbo, CD alleges
A Human Rights group, Campaign for Democracy (CD), has
condemned the planned Operation PYTHON DANCE 3 by the Nigerian Army in
the South East geopolitical zone.
The group said the operation being proposed is another plot to kill defenceless Igbo youths for unjustifiable reasons.
The group noted that President Muhammadu Buhari had constituted Operation PYTON DANCE 1 and 11 exercises which led to the killing of 250 and 150 Igbo youths, respectively, in an account of Amnesty International’s disposition.
National Publicity secretary of CD, Dede Uzor A. Uzor, who said this in a statement, said that another such operation in Igbo land, where there is no crisis, amounted to a deliberate plot to provoke the Igbo and kill more youths.
The CD urged President Buhari and the Nigerian Army to “shelve the murderous plot” with immediate effect.
Uzor also called on the Federal and Imo State governments to, with immediate effect, drop charges against 112 Igbo women arrested and arraigned at the Owerri Magistrate Court with 10-count charge of treasonable felony and related charges.
He said that these pregnant and aged women should be released unconditionally with immediate effect and all the trumped up charges withdrawn.
