The player was apparently murdered by troopers of 2 Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Port Harcourt, at Okarki, a fringe group in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, at a short proximity.
Responding to the murdering, the IYC in an announcement by its representative, Eric Omare, depicted as provocative the reaction of the military that the late footballer was found in the wrong place at a cultist's sanctum, subsequently his additional legal executing.
The gathering said the reason offered by the Nigerian military was watery, provocative and inhumane to the group of Joseph Izu, who lost their adored one and their group individuals.
It said, "Accepting without surrendering that Joseph Izu was found in a cultists' hallowed place, the IYC doesn't know about any Nigerian law which enables military officers to shoot and execute anyone found in a sanctum.
"The reason given by the military authority, Brig.- Gen. Hamisu Hassan, that the late footballer was found in the wrong place was a frail exertion at supporting the murder of Izu.
"Regardless, to put the records straight, the late Joseph Izu was not found in any cultists' hallowed place but rather was shot dead before his family compound and dragged to the Okarki waterfront."
The IYC tested the Nigerian military to a guided visit with individuals from the media to the cultists' sanctum in Okarki people group wherein the late Izu was executed, demanding that there was no such place of worship in the group.
It said the general population of Okarki were serene individuals with no record of being known for religion exercises.
The gathering included, "To add salt to harm, the Nigerian military affirmed that military officers executed Joseph Izu however did not in any case offer conciliatory sentiment to the group of the perished.
Rather all that the military and other security offices have been attempting to do is to conceal the additional legal executing by their officers.
"Brig. Gen. Hassan in his announcement said that they are examining what Izu was doing in the cultist' holy place as opposed to exploring and conveying to equity the military officers who executed this criminal and wretched act."
The gathering said in facilitation of the military endeavors to conceal the executing, the President of IYC, Udengs Eradiri, had gotten a few calls from security offices blaming the IYC for attempting to sort out dissents which would prompt breakdown of the peace.
Likewise, a pioneer of the IYC, Elvis Donkemezuo, in a different explanation, completely censured the developing pattern of silly and wanton murdering of Ijaw adolescents by security agents that should shield them from scoundrels.
Dokenmezuo expressed, "For accentuation, the essential task and obligation of our military is to ensure the regional respectability of Nigeria and not to injure and murder guiltless, unprotected residents like Joseph Izu. We request Justice for the group of Izu.
