The South-East members of the Nigerian Senate has told the Federal
Government to constitute a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate
the reported killing of 150 Pro-Biafra members.
The leader of the group, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, said
this in a statement, in Abuja, on Thursday.
According to him, “It is not enough for the Nigeria military to
debunk the report; we, as a caucus, demand an independent inquiry in the mould
of a judicial panel and urgently too.
“It is our candid view that such a panel would reassure the
Igbo that the Federal Government is alive to its responsibilities, one of which
is the protection and respect of the fundamental rights of all people
irrespective of tribe or religion.
“Unraveling the authenticity of the report would help to
prevent a reoccurrence just as it will engender unity in our country. But the
most important to us now is that the report must be probed and those implicated
must be made to face justice.”
