The Killings of the Itsekiri
By
My name is Gabriel Atsepoyi. I am an American soldier. I was born and raised in Nigeria. My tribe is about the smallest tribe in Nigeria, known
as Itsekiri.
Since about 1998, the Ijaws, the fourth largest tribe in Nigeria, have connived with some government officials, Chevron USA and other tribes in Nigeria to kill the Itsekiris.
The Ijaws killed my father, Chief Oyiboejamuli Atsepoyi, at the age of 82. This honourable man was shot twice in the head, at Escravos, Ugborodo Village, while Chevron USA was/is exploiting our crude oil, amidst abject penury of my people.
The Ijaws killed all my uncles, sisters, brothers, and nieces, beheaded them, and took their heads away, leaving just the body.
The Ijaws killed all the children in our villages, and burnt these innocent children alive. The most recent killings took place this month, April 2003.
Wither justice Nigeria? Wither justice America? These terrorists called Ijaws in Nigeria must be brought to justice now or else...
