The Igbo National Council (INC) has given Army Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, a 21-day ultimatum to end the Operation Python Dance II in the south-east.



The group said the south-east region is not a war zone and asked the army chief to withdraw all the soldiers posted to the area within 21 days or be sued at the International Criminal Court (ICC),


Daily Post reports.


In a statement signed by the group's national president, Chilos Godsent, the group said:“In view of the above, the Igbo National Council, INC, has analysed the state of the Southeast and the Nigerian state and hereby state the following.



The Nigeria state is not at war with the people of South-East Nigeria, and therefore wish to call on the president and Commander in Chief of Armed Forces.


“The leadership of the National Assembly to mandate the Minister of Defence staff, Chief of Army Staff, to immediately withdraw the military arbitrarily deployed to Southeast to murder innocent civilians.

“If this is not adhered to within twenty one days (21) the Igbo National Council, INC, will petition and also sue the Nigeria Army and the Federal government, to International Criminal Court (ICC) for genocide against the armless people of the southeast Nigeria.


”Meanwhile, the chief of army staff has warned members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) against any action capable of breaching the peace of the southeast.


Buratai made this known while addressing a press conference at the army headquarters in Abuja.

Here are some similarities between both shows and its obvious they ‘inspire eachother’ 1. Both brought their first kids on stage While Wizkid brought his son, Boluwatife on stage, Davido brought his daughter, Imade on stage. 2.Both wore glittery outfits and black pants  It was obvious Davido’s sparkly shirt and black pants were inspired by Wizkid. 3.Both brought lots of supporting acts on stage Wizkid brought a horde of artists to perform and Davido did the same with over 20 acts performing at his concert . 4.Both events served as a centre stage for peace While ...
