In a statement by the National President of the Council, Mazi
Okechukwu, the council said: "The officers and men of the 302
Battalion of the Nigerian Army at Onitsha appear to have a different
agenda in that town. They appear to be there for [alleged] ethnic
cleansing.
"In the past one month, these raw soldiers have [allegedly] killed
more than 20 unarmed Igbo youths. This time around, they waylay Igbos
returning home for Christmas and New Year holidays and rough-handle a
lot of them.
"We can no longer tolerate this brazen act on our own land. We are
neither at war nor a conquered people. Mr. President should intervene
in this matter before it turns into another thing. We have the right
to protect the dignity of our people.
"The army is provoking us by their brazen acts in the South East and
South South. We hope there is no cabal in the Nigerian Army that is
pursuing an ethnic agenda and cleansing against Ndigbo."
