Incompetence of Nigeria Police with the Prevalent Self Help Resort and Unknown Gunmen Attacks                                                                                                          

It is unarguably true that Mohammed Abubakar Adamu is illegally occupying the position of the inspector general of Nigeria police, because his tenure was extended by President Muhammadu Buhari without regards to the rule of law.

And Nigeria being a failed state, have disregards for her own constitutions and is where mediocrity, nepotism, favoritism, etcetera rain profusely unchallenged by Fulani oligarchs, called presidency. These and more have turned the Nigeria police to a failed force and monumentally withstood them from legally discharging their duties.

Calls by many groups for the government to follow her constitution have fallen on deaf ears. Rather, the government have allowed for further creation of cabals and parties among their failed police force, with the total lack of control by the incompetent and quota IGP. This have raised a real big margin between Nigeria police and the masses, leading to several army and police brutalities and massacres, including but not limited to

Zaria massacre 

Odi massacre 

Agatu massacre 

Uzo uwani massacre 

Nimbo massacre 

Obigbo massacre 

Lekki massacre 

Onitsha /Nkpor massacre 

Emene killings 

And most recently,

Orlu massacre. 

In all these massacres, The NPF have failed to prosecute or hold any one responsible. According to a renown non governmental group called Inter Society, the victims of these senseless massacres have increased to 2,503 and are mainly from a particular section of the country. Hence, it will not be wrong to call it a genocide.

Aggrieved family members of such victims have resorted to self help for protection and pushed that the Nigeria forces should account for the dead /missing loved ones.

And these family members of the injured victims have continually suffered incessant clampdowns from the Nigeria police as a result. 

Moreover, the Nigeria police force have been very reluctant and biased in addressing the issue of prosecuting the perpetrators of these massacres. And also added insult to injury by running to the media to label the victims "unknown gunmen" and blamed the prestigious leader of Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the sponsor of the unknown group without probe or panel of enquiries to ascertain the grievances of those victims.

These have been the tactics of Nigeria government to exterminate the indigenous people of Biafra. The ethnical or tribal blame of 1967 military coup on innocent Biafrans is a remote example, while recently,  they played the same card by blaming IPOB for EndSars protest in Lagos and Rivers states, which resulted in Obigbo massacre by the military.

We urge International Community to coerce Nigeria government to prosecute those behind these massacres before  the victims resort to self defense and cross the Rubicon.
