The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has promised that no inmate who returns voluntarily will be charged with unlawful escape. The New York Times furthers that prison officials are attempting to \u201c[appeal] to the good citizens of Imo State\u201d to help \u201cfacilitate the recovery effort,\u201d per their statement. However, as of April 23, only a small number of escapees have returned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other officials have taken on a harsher tone in response to the attack. According to The New York Times, Mohammed Adamu, the former inspector-general of police, reportedly instructed his officers to \u201cdeal with [attackers] ruthlessly\u201d and \u201cunleash your full arsenal on them.\u201d Similarly, aggressive rhetoric was used by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, who denounced the attack on the Owerri facility as an \u201cact of terrorism\u201d and accused the separatist group Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of orchestrating it. IPOB spokesman Emmanuel Powerful denied the allegations of involvement by IPOB and their paramilitary wing, the Eastern Security Network, in a statement, asserting, \u201c[We] have no business with the said attacks\u2026 It is not our mandate to attack security personnel or prison facilities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hostility between IPOB, which was declared a terrorist organization in 2017, and the Nigerian government has persisted for years, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2b4889eaf04848578c86eecaf0f18a95\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Associated Press<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2016\/11\/peaceful-pro-biafra-activists-killed-in-chilling-crackdown\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2016 Amnesty International report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> found that Nigerian security forces committed \u201cgross human rights violations\u201d the year prior when it suppressed demonstrations by supporters of IPOB, killing at least 150 peaceful protesters. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/armed-attackers-storm-nigerian-prison-release-1-800-inmates-11617728729\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains that the two parties also clashed again earlier this year in Orlu, which led the Nigerian military to conduct airstrikes before a ceasefire was eventually called.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tensions between the two parties originate from the Nigerian Civil War that took place from 1967 to 1970, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-51094093\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BBC News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. A military coup in 1966, during which a number of prominent political figures were assassinated by mostly ethnically Igbo officers, was followed by months of massacres against Igbo people living in Northern Nigeria. BBC News explains that this caused a mass movement of Igbo people to the east, who eventually seceded to create the independent state of Biafra. However, this independence was short-lived. Following almost three years of civil war, the separatist leaders were forced to surrender, and Biafra once again became a part of Nigeria. Despite this failed attempt, some still hold out hope of creating an independent Biafra again, especially in the southeast region of the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quelling separatist efforts is just one problem that President Buhari and his government faces in a country that is growing increasingly unstable internally. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voanews.com\/africa\/more-1800-prisoners-escape-after-nigeria-prison-attack\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">VOA News<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> describes that other threats include ongoing jihadist insurgencies in the Northeast, banditry, and a spree of kidnappings. These matters reflect the far deeper-seeded issues of religious divisions between the Muslim-majority North and Christian-majority South and the struggles of the central government to maintain internal security in the African nation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the early hours of April 5, gunmen attacked the Owerri Custodial Centre in Imo State, a region in Southeast Nigeria, freeing over 1800 inmates, according to BBC News.
