Igbo Women Urge Withdrawal of Soldiers from Southeast Checkpoints Amid their Exploitations of People

In a recent statement, the National Igbo Women Assembly (IWA) has called for the withdrawal of soldiers stationed at numerous checkpoints across the Southeast. The group asserts that these soldiers are exacerbating rather than alleviating problems in the region.

According to IWA, soldiers at these checkpoints have been more focused on extorting money from motorists and harassing commuters than on their assigned security duties. They highlighted that soldiers often force passengers, including the sick and elderly, to disembark and walk through checkpoints before returning to their vehicles.

 

IWA President, Lolo Nneka Chimezie, expressed frustration over the treatment of commuters, questioning why such practices are unique to the Southeast. She criticized the soldiers for abandoning their primary mission of enhancing security, instead engaging in extortion and mistreatment.

 

The group also pointed out the paradox of kidnappings and attacks occurring near these checkpoints without arrests. They argue that if soldiers fail to provide the intended protection, the Federal Government should withdraw them and allow the police to handle security, as they are perceived as more approachable.

 

Additionally, IWA voiced concern over the ongoing anti-Igbo sentiment in Lagos, questioning why those promoting ethnic hatred and violence against the Igbo community remain unpunished. They lamented the perceived discrimination against the Igbo people and called for equitable treatment across Nigeria.
