EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK ARRESTED MEMBER (IKONSO) KILLED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE CHILDREN.

ESN Commander, Ikonso, Was Killed In Presence Of Wife, Kids –Brother || Africa Bloggers

Against reports from the Imo State Joint Task Force that one of the leaders of the Eastern Security Network ESN Mr Anayochukwu Nwokike aka Ikonso was killed during exchange of gunfire between the outfit and security operatives, elder brother to Ikonso, Mr Anulika Nwokike, has contended that his younger brother was killed in his house in the presence of his wife and three little children.

The elder brother who spoke to this reporter in Awka recalled that Ikonso had come home to pass the night and about 1: 45am the Joint Task Force made up of soldiers and policemen stormed their compound, brought him out and shot him several times until he died. “My brother came home to rest and pass the night on that fateful day but at around 1: 45 am, we had noise of heavily armed security men and they surrounded our compound, broke into the main gate and started shooting into the air. “They went from house to house, room to room and found him in his room, brought him out and started firing at him until he died and in the presence of his wife and three little children,” Anulika said.

He stated that the five buildings in their compound were attacked and two were burnt and property destroyed in the onslaught. He added: “What the Joint Task Force told you is not true because I was there when it all happened and they did not want to talk to anyone and didn’t want to listen to anyone.”

Nwokike said that the family of the late Ikonso was going to court to challenge the killing because they neither took him to court nor arrest him. Also speaking a UK based human rights lawyer Mr Paul Achalla told reporters that they are going to establish that Ikonso was unlawfully killed contrary to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Right and that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. “This was exactly what happened during the Apo killing of some Igbo persons in Abuja by police officers. #IPOB #ESN

The Selective Protests Reveal Anti-Semitism When protestors only show up for certain victims and conflicts, what is the takeaway? The Palestinian terrorist political party HAMAS launched thousands of rockets into Israel in May 2021, seemingly ready to add a fourth war to its tally since it took over Gaza in 2007. In short order, the streets in major cities around the world were full of protesters raging about the hundreds of people who were killed by Israel’s retaliatory attacks on the HAMAS terrorist infrastructure.

Thousands of children have been killed in the bloody campaign but the loss of life of these poor Muslim Arabs gathers neither tears nor ...
