Your entrance to the region for Operation Python Dance was fervent, aggressive and your actions were very brutal indeed.
You flogged innocent citizens including very aged men and women to instil fear in them in order to subdue them and their thought of Biafra.
You rolled in with your armoured personnel carriers in such manner that depicted war, hate and disrespect for their basic human rights.
You left the operation or exercise but began to attack the members of the IPOB and other Biafrans. No one was spared even journalists were beaten, flogged and brutalized. Passerbys are not spared in your unprofessional misconduct.
Then, the mission to subdue the Biafrans culminated in invasion of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu's family home and more brutality was unleashed in his home in which even the family dog was not spared. His family was pursued with full force of military brutality and disdain and disregard for the law even away from the true nature of the operation python dance.
South Easterners who wore Biafran T-shirts, necklaces, bracelets and other paraphernalia depicting Biafra were all brutalised in broad daylight. There were accounts of deaths, extra-judicial execution of these people. There were accounts of retrieving of corpses of those shot and put away in secret morgue.
All these unlwaful and brutal behaviours decimated the trust that the people would have had for any goodwill from you. You killed their trust in you, you disrespected their humanity. You violated their basic human rights and put fear in them.
That fear you sought to instil in them killed the trust for you. So, do not complain that they now fear, distrust you. Isn't that what you set out to achieve in your unprofessional military mannerism?
Blame it on yourself and not on those who reciprocated to glaring, odd and gross military mannerism. Now, you have got what you wanted.
