Global human rights watchdog, Amnesty International, AI, has released a video showing how security agents killed 150 peaceful pro-Biafra agitators.
Recall that the body had on Thursday accused the Nigerian military of killing 150 agitators for Biafra in the Southeastern part of Nigeria, stressing that the killing was intentional.
The rights body accused military operatives of gunning down unarmed civilians before a march to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Biafran declaration of independence, stressing that based on visits to hospitals and mortuaries, at least 17 were killed and nearly 50 injured in Onitsha alone.
But the Nigerian Army faulted the report, saying that AI was only championing a campaign of calumny against Nigeria’s military.
Following the Army’s claim, the rights watchdog released a video to back up its claim.
