Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has condemned the onslaught against IPOB members by the Nigerian Army.

He said it was unfortunate that the military killed several defenseless Nigerians.

A statement he made available to DAILY POST Thursday evening said “The slaughter of innocent civilians by soldiers must stop. Yesterday it was the Shiite Muslims. Today it is the Igbo. Tomorrow it could be you.

“Anyone that believes that a separatist movement or the quest for self-determination can be stopped by the force of arms alone has no knowledge of world history.

“The more people you torture and kill, the more the agitation will blossom and grow. The shedding of innocent blood energises, spreads and fortifies the cause for which it was shed.

“This is a spiritual principle with practical consequences. It is a deep and mystical truism. The blood of martyrs is never shed in vain.
