The leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties
& the Rule of Law; supported by the Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights
Organizations (SBCHROs), is saddened, shocked and alarmed over the report
of burning to ashes of 13 murdered members of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) whose corpses were dumped in a burrow pit located in Asa area of
the Aba-Port Harcourt Road in Abia State. Three more corpses were also
discovered recently in another burrow pit behind a Mosque, which is between the
Timber Market and the Arewa Onions’ Market, near Uratta Junction along Aba-Port
Harcourt Road in Abia State. The corpses were covered with leaves and soaked
with chemical substances strongly suspected to be a mixture of raw acid and
embalmment chemicals; for the purposes of disfigurement, erasing traces and
making the corpses odorless. They are also strongly suspected to be murdered
members of IPOB in Abia State and environs.
