Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Ejimakor has cautioned Nigerian Air Force Military stating that the bombing in South-East communities is ethnic cleansing.

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has berated the Nigerian Air Force over the bombing of camps allegedly belonging to IPOB’s fighters – the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Anambra and Imo states.

This Nigeria News platform recalls that the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) claimed that the air component of Operation Udo Ka II bombed several hideouts belonging to IPOB and its militant wing, the ESN in Imo and Anambra states in the Southeast region of the country.
The NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, Edward Gabkwet, who made this known on Wednesday said that the air strikes were carried out on Tuesday at separate locations including Mother Valley Orsumughu in the Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State and Aku Ihube in the Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State.
The NAF spokesperson had noted that the troops acted on credible intelligence, alleging that the groups had planned to disrupt civic activities across the southeast states.
Gabkwet further stated that the air team who worked in conjunction with ground troops, targeted certain locations, including those housing the armory belonging to the group.
Reacting to the NAF bombing claim, Ejimakor on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday said that the bombing and ongoing military operations in the Southeast were levied on innocent people under the guise of fighting criminality in the region.
The lawyer said that such ethnic cleansing was propelled by lack of compatriot spirit among security forces that are primed to see a certain ethnic group in the country as a threat.
He wrote, “Ethnic-cleansing is often propelled by lack of compatriot spirit amongst security forces that are primed to see a certain ethnicity as a threat.
“The ongoing military operations (or reprisals) in Southeast are often levied on innocents under the guise of fighting criminality. Yes!”
