The invitation admittedly extended to the Army by the Enugu State Police Commissioner ahead of the deadly shooting at Emene was too prompt and bears stark evidence of premeditation for lethal violence against the Igbo element on the part of the Commissioner of Police.
This premeditation stems from the customary lack of
compatriot empathy often exhibited by some Northern Muslim security chiefs and
other ranks towards Igbos when it comes to law enforcement of this kind, even
when the target of such enforcement is, without regard to their numbers,
unarmed and nonviolent.
