Ohanaeze Launches Committee to Probe Igbo Rights Abuses at Home and Abroad

The Global Executive Council of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has set up a Human Rights Committee. It will investigate alleged abuses against Igbos in Nigeria and the diaspora. Inaugurated by President-General Senator Azuta Mbata at the National Secretariat in Enugu, the committee is chaired by Assistant National Legal Adviser Chizoba Iheka. Iheka’s legal expertise will guide its work. The panel will identify cases of extortion, harassment, unlawful arrests and prolonged detention. It will develop a roadmap for engaging and visiting affected individuals to understand each incident’s circumstances. Ohanaeze calls on security agencies, human rights groups, civil society and concerned Nigerians to cooperate. The organisation reaffirms its commitment to safeguarding the rights and freedoms of Igbos everywhere.
