Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL), an Igbo youth organization, has called the alleged abandoning of Igbo natives in Sudan during an evacuation drill “barbaric and wicked.”
Newsmen learns that the group’s response is in response to a social media video that went viral and showed stranded Igbo natives in Sudan as one of them described how they (the Igbo) were requested to disembark the airplane for Nigerians of other descent.
The Igbo native pleaded for Igbo billionaires to save them in the aforementioned video, and he also thanked Allen Onyema, the owner of Air Peace Airline, for giving his jets for the evacuation.

Speaking in Igbo, the man said: “You cannot blame Allen Onyema, because he has donated his aircraft, and does not know that he brothers are being abandoned in the evacuation exercise.”
The Chairman, Nigeria in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has been accused by the organization, however, of being responsible for the purported incident.
In a statement issued under the group’s leadership, Goodluck Ibem, the group said that leaving Igbos stranded in the war-torn Sudan was a “wicked and barbaric” act against humanity.
I am submitted that “This is barbaric and wickedness of the highest order against humanity and we condemn it in its entirety.
“It is very unfortunate and regrettable that Abike Dabiri-Erewa who is paid by taxes Payers money which Igbos are among those paying the taxes through which she receives her salaries and allowances will segregate against the same people contributing for her salaries and allowances. This evil and unpatriotic act against fellow Nigerians which she was employed to serve must never go unpunished.

“Abike has committed a national and international crime and we demand her immediate sack, arrest and prosecution without any delay. She is a national embarrassment to the nation and she should not stay a day longer as Chairman of NIDCOM.
“We are aware that her major evil plan is to ensure that all Igbos stranded in Sudan are killed which is why she chased those innocent Igbos out of the rescue bus, but her plans is dead on arrival.”
The group, however called on group Onyema and the minister of foreign affairs to intervene in the matter to ensure that the aircraft sent to Sudan takes all Nigerians.
