Senator Murray-Bruce reacts to killing of IPOB members rallying for Donald Trump
The Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency, Ben Murray-Bruce, has publicly condemn the senseless killing of unarmed Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) members that embarked on solidarity rally for the President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
The Senator who took to his official Twitter handle to make his stance public was elected on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in March 2015.
He wrote: I strongly condemn the killing of unarmed IPOB members rallying for Donald J. Trump earlier today. I believe in one Nigeria. I also believe in human life. But even more importantly, I believe in the Nigerian Constitution that gives every Nigerian citizen a guaranteed right of assembly. This loss of lives should not be allowed to happen without the due process of the law kicking in. It must be investigated and the culprits brought to book. Human life in Nigeria must have value if Nigeria is ever to be valued as a great nation by her citizens.
I strongly condemn the killing of unarmed IPOB members rallying for @realDonaldTrump. I believe in one Nigeria. I also believe in human life

It was reported that some unarmed IPOB members, on Friday, took to the streets of Port Harcourt, Rivers, to carry out solidarity rally ahead the scheduled swearing in of the US President elect, Trump.
The peaceful rally, however, turned bloody when some Nigerian troops attempted to repel the rally at Garrison, St. John, and artillery axis of Port Harcourt beating and flogging protesters who disobeyed the order that asked them not to pass through the barricaded roads near a military facility. Some of the IPOB members were allegedly killed while others sustained serious injuries.
