Grand Summary (480 Total Death Tolls In The Military
Massacre Operations):

The breakdown of the killings starting from 30th of
August 2015 to 20th January 2017 and
12th-14th September 2017 that led to not less
than 480 deaths is as follows: six (6) deaths in the
30th of August 2015 protests at Awka and Onitsha, nine
(9) in the Uyo and Port Harcourt mega protests of 30th
August 2015, twenty-five (25) in the 2nd and
17th December 2015 protest and jubilation killings at
Onitsha Niger Bridgehead and environs.

Others are: fifteen (15) in the 18th and
29th January 2016 killings in Aba, thirty (30) in the
9th February 2016 massacre at Aba National High School,
one hundred and ten (110) in the 29th and
30th May 2016 Biafra Heroes Day massacre at Nkpor, Ogidi
and Onitsha and thirty (30) in the Asaba spill over massacre of
30th May 2016.

The rest are: twenty (20) in the 20th January 2017
pro Trump Rally in Igweocha or Port Harcourt, 180 in the
12th and 14th September 2017 Army Python
Dance 11 massacre in Aba, Asa-Ogwe, Isiala-Ngwa and Afara-Ukwu, all
in Abia State; and sixty (60) deaths arising from those who died of
injuries and associated complications after being shot and
critically injured by the military and the police, totalling 485
deaths.

Out of the 480 death tolls highlighted, 107 names were mentioned
including 16 seen lifeless bodies dumped in two burrow pits along
Aba-Port Harcourt Road, Aba in February 2016 and four persons that
later died of gunshot wounds at the Multicare Hospital at Nkpor in
December 2015.

The remaining 373 names, in addition to said sixteen lifeless
bodies found in Aba-Port Harcourt Road burrow pits, constitute
those killed and taken away or buried or dumped in undisclosed
secret graves or sites by soldiers, police and other security
personnel. It is our firm belief that the actual names and number
of those killed or wounded will surge and be fully identified when
the time is apt or appropriate for the constitution of panels or
judicial commissions of enquiry by relevant government
authorities.

A typical case in point was the setting up of Hon Justice G.C.M.
Onyiuke Tribunal that looked into the Igbo pogrom of 1966, which
later found that “… between 45,000 and 50,000 civilians of
former Eastern Nigeria were killed in Northern Nigeria and other
parts of Nigeria from 29th May 1966 to December 1967;
with estimated 1,627,743 (IDPs) Easterners fleeing back to Eastern
Nigeria as a result of the 1966 pogrom.”

60 Additional Dark Figures Of Crime: In Criminology, dark
figures of crime represent circumstantially ascertainable or
compelling statistics of killings or wounds that take place but are
never recorded or reported or documented or put in the marble. In
the instant case, there must have been more unrecorded deaths
arising from those who died from gunshot wounds or killings that
went un-captured. It is a clear act of wickedness and
conspiratorial culpability for State actors or non-State actors to
under-report or under-represent the statistics of the dead or the
wounded especially in matters involving “industrial scale” rights
abuses and violations by Government or its security forces.

In the instant case, therefore, there were clear cases of
killings that went un-recorded as well as deaths arising from those
that were shot and critically injured. These included unrecorded or
unreported killings that took place in the 2015 and 2016 Yenogoa
(mega protest), Uyo and Port Harcourt protests, among others. 
Owing to the prevalence of State violence and widespread fears
created, relatives of those slain patriots have been unable to
speak out or formally report cases of their slain or missing ones
to relevant quarters since August 2015.

Which is why we have resolved to add, at least, 60 more figures
(i.e., to represent dark figures of crime) to safely and validly
represent the true semblance of the actual number of unarmed,
defenceless and innocent citizens of Igbo Christian and Jewish
backgrounds and other non-Igbo Christians killed. This now brings
to 480 as the total number of unarmed and defenceless citizens
killed in old Eastern Nigeria by the Administration of President
Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and their
controlled security forces between August 2015 and September
2017.

Over 500 Injured Victims Of The Military Massacre Operations:
The over 500 injured citizens were those shot and critically
wounded in the Port Harcourt, Asaba, Onitsha, Awka and Enugu
protests of 30th August 2015; 2nd and
17th December 2015 protest and jubilation match killings
in Onitsha; 18th and 29th January and
9th February 2016 massacre in Aba; 29th and
30th May 2016 Biafra Heroes Day massacre at Nkpor,
Onitsha and Asaba.

The rest were the 20th January 2017 pro-Trump rally
killings in Port Harcourt and 12th to 14th September
2017 Army Python Dance 11 massacre operation in Aba, Asa-Ogwe,
Afara-Ukwu and Isiala-Ngwa, all in Abia State as well as killings
arising from other protest matches held in 2015 and 2016 in
Yenegoa, Port Harcourt and Uyo; out of which 214 names are
mentioned or cited in this special report
