The family of a member of agitators for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are lamenting over the sudden disappearance of their son Udene Jerry Chidiebere of Udi, Local Government Area of Enugu State.
A representative of the family who Simply identified himself as Emmanuel and Spoke on the condition of anonymity, for fear of being traced by the police, stated that Jerry had been on the run ever since the Nigerian Police attacked and Killed some agitators including the top commander of the Eastern Security Network, ESN simply identified as Ikonso. According to him, Jerry who got wind of the possibility of his elimination became apprehensive and has been on the run for his life since April when he was alleged to be part of the Unknown gunmen who partook in the burning of INEC’s offices in some parts of the East for which he is being listed on the wanted list for execution by a Joint Task Force also responsible for eliminating many IPOB members.
Emmanuel further stated that, the family is in dark concerning the fate of Jerry as they are not sure whether he has been apprehended and killed like his fellow agitators by the police and state government or not. He stressed that every efforts at getting in touch with him has proved abortive. He reiterated that the entire family is lamenting over Jerry’s whereabout stating that the situation is unbearable especially for their mother who has maintained a crying mood ever since his brother’s disappearance became obvious.
It’s no longer news that in recent times the Nigerian Police and Army have been vigorously on the trail to apprehend members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a Pro-Biafra Separatist Movement. Many of these agitators have been killed while so many others are on the run for their lives. Udene Jerry Chidiebere is one of the numerous agitators of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) whose life is on the line for actively participating in the Pro-Biafra Separatist Movement. The government frowned at these agitators as well as the Eastern Security Network, the Paramilitary organization of IPOB, as such many of them have lost their freedom of movement as they are on the watch list for elimination. We do hope that the international community will interfere by upholding the right of Nigerians to carry out protests and agitations without intimidation and killings by the Nigerian Police and army as witnessed in the End Sars Protest and the ongoing IPOB agitation. It is our ernest desire that peace be restored in the Eastern part of Nigeria and the incessant killings be nip in the bud.
