The Ndigbo Youth Parliament, NYP, Saturday condemned the alleged aerial bombardment in Orlu, Imo state, saying “aside the videos from the eyewitness sent to us, we received calls of tensions and anxieties from the citizens of the communities in Orlu where the aerial bombardments took place.”
Speaker of the Parliament, Rikki Nwajiofor in a statement yesterday described the alleged military action as “a joke taken too far”.
The statement read: “How on earth can there be aerial bombardments by the military jets in a zone that is not bedevilled by terrorism nor banditry whereas the zones that have witnessed incessant kidnappings, cattle rustling, banditry and the likes, are spared of such bombardments? Is the military not aware of the recent kidnappings in Niger state and other parts of the Northern region?
