 No Child Spared: Nigeria Recruits Man Who Declared Blood Will Flow

The Nigerian authorities has identified that Chukwuka Ofoegbu AKA Udele is consumed by profound bitterness toward the Ndi Igbo and made a calculated decision to recruit him as the instrument for orchestrating killing in Igbo land. In any functioning, rule of law society, a person who openly proclaim to slaughter a two-day old baby in whatever guess should face immediate arrest, restraint, and mandatory psychiatric evaluation and confinement until their mental stability is rigorously assessed and addressed. Such statements are not mere words, they constitute credible threats of extreme violence and signal a clear danger to public safety.

Yet in Nigeria's current reality, this same individual is not isolated or treated as a psychiatric case. Instead, he is elevated, armed, and deployed as a strategic asset in the systematic oppression of Ndi Igbo. This is not an aberration; it fits a long-documented pattern in the South East, where state complicity or willful negligence has allowed cycles of impunity, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, and community terror to persist for years, patterns extensively catalogued by organizations such as Amnesty International in reports spanning 2021–2025.

We categorically reject and condemn all forms of criminality, violence, and lawlessness, regardless of perpetrator. However, when the Nigerian government recruits a demonstrably mentally unstable person, equips him with firearms, and authorizes him to lead armed operations across the South East, it crosses into territory that demands urgent national and international scrutiny. What strategic objective, beyond the facilitation of genocide could possibly justify empowering an individual who has publicly vowed to murder even newborn children and declared that “blood will flow” throughout the entire South East region?

This cannot be brushed aside as fringe rhetoric, isolated extremism, or “business as usual” in Nigeria’s security landscape. The government has already placed lethal weapons in his hands, enabling him to act on his genocidal declarations. That single, verifiable act of empowerment lays bare a chilling truth, elements within the Nigerian state apparatus are not merely failing to prevent the slaughter of innocent civilians by so-called “unknown gunmen” they are actively complicit in, or directly orchestrating, the campaign of targeted killings, abductions, and community destruction that has claimed thousands of lives in the South East over recent years.

The international community must take note. When a government arms and unleashes individuals with explicit genocidal intent against a specific ethnic group, it risks crossing thresholds long recognized under international humanitarian law and the Genocide Convention. The pattern is unmistakable: recurring “unknown gunmen” attacks disproportionately ravage Igbo communities, displace families, destroy livelihoods, and erode trust in state institutions while official responses often appear selective, delayed, or absent.

Ndi Igbo and all Nigerians of conscience deserve answers, not more denials. The recruitment and arming of Udele is not a security measure; it is a deliberate escalation of ethnic-targeted terror. Until those responsible are held to account through transparent investigations, prosecutions, and genuine security reforms, the cycle of bloodshed in the South East will continue, staining Nigeria’s reputation and threatening the fragile fabric of national unity.

This is no longer a regional grievance. It is a humanitarian and moral crisis that the world cannot afford to ignore.
