Fayose: What Soldiers Are Doing in Abia State is Called Ethnic Cleansing

-
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has described the invasion of Abia state by Nigerian soldiers as ethnic cleansing.

“I have said it before now that it is only God that can help the Igbo people. What I see going on is ethnic cleansing. When you see the video clips of the occupation and the behaviour of the soldiers, it leaves much to be desired, but they couldn’t act like that without a whistle-blower, somebody is behind them telling them go and cleanse the people.

“That is recklessness; human rights violation in Nigeria today is second to none. And I hope the international community would not be quiet on this. It is unfortunate.”
