 IWA Urges FG to Remove Security Roadblocks in South East


The Igbo Women Assembly (IWA) has called on the Federal Government to dismantle security checkpoints in the South East, citing the hardship they impose on residents and their role in escalating insecurity.


According to IWA, these roadblocks have become hotspots for harassment, human rights violations, and criminal activities. The group argued that the region was relatively calm until the deployment of security forces, which they claim has worsened the situation.


Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, IWA President Lolo Nneka Chimezie urged the government to review the activities of security agencies in the South East to prevent further loss of lives and property. She alleged that some security personnel were complicit in crimes in the region and called for a thorough investigation to hold those responsible accountable.


Chimezie also condemned what she described as inflammatory statements capable of inciting ethnic conflicts, particularly those attributed to Reno Omokri. She demanded his arrest, comparing the situation to the case of Eze Ndigbo in Ajao Estate, Lagos, who was jailed for two years.


Additionally, she criticized the perceived marginalization of the Igbo in political appointments under President Bola Tinubu’s administration and called for the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. She argued that Kanu’s continued detention has deepened the sense of alienation among the Igbo and that his release, alongside the removal of military checkpoints, is essential for lasting peace and stability in the region.


Chimezie further questioned the judiciary over prolonged court cases and delays that have eroded the hope of ordinary citizens, emphasizing the need for justice and fairness in legal proceedings.
