My Ordeal On The 2006 Sit-At-Home Imposed By MASSOB by 132KVA: 4:04pm On Jun 07, 2013 |
December 6th 2006 was a day i will never forget in my life. It was a sit at home day by Massobians to protest the detention of their leader Uwazuruike. I was on my way to Nekede from Orji - a town near owerri, and was caught by traffic jam in Owerri main town. The real cause of the traffic jam was road blocks and burning tires set by some people that support the sit at home while some other traders locked their shops and stayed in front of it waiting to see the next thing. Soldiers from 34 artillery brigade Obinze were deployed to protect the Hausa community in case the whole thing turns to riot. Initially, Ekeonunwa market and new market were all open , but not until there was a rumor that some Massobians were coming from ABA and Onitsha to force the closure of those market. There were large number of people in owerri town that day, some were singing some Igbo songs that means ‘release Uwazuruike’. I could remember when a soldier was warning, "go back, go back...I'll shoot all of u" and I was watching the whole scenario from Lagos street opp New market because I couldn't see any motor to continue my journey. some people were booing the soldiers and that provoked them which made them to start shooting. Initially the shooting was mean to scare people. Majority of the soldiers were armed with AK-47 but I remember one carrying MG42 category of machine gun. I knew that the gun is very heavy because he changes it from his left to right hand more often and this gun is supposed to be mounted b4 shooting. Many of the soldiers face their guns completely up b4 shooting but this guy’s gun remain at angle of about 35 deg whenever he shoots probably because of the weight. I noticed that and warned people closer to me to watch that guy that they should run whenever he faces our side of road because his bullet can go in parabola. When the soldiers were approaching Lagos street, I ran into one hospital while many others were at the gate of the street watching. I was inside the hospital when I heard sound of gun near the gate and more people ran into the hospital too. We stayed there for about 10mins b4 we started hearing loud voice and cry outside. Low and behold 3 innocent people died at the spot and one was injured (a bullet pierced his lap) and I joined hand to carry him to the hospital. I remained in the hospital for more 4hrs b4 trekking to naze (about 1Km) junction where I got motor to Nekede. My advice especially for those in SE and SS where the agitation is on the increase, whether there are soldiers in these zone or not, for your safety, SIT AT HOME. Those soldiers are for our protection, Fine, but remember, many times, we look for a way to protect ourselves from them. Thank God today is Saturday. 5 Likes |

Today is Saturday. So most civil servants will naturally stay home, but the business guys have to go out. But if I were to be in business, I will rather stay home not bcause MASSOB says so, but because most victims of stray bullets are naturally the innocent bystanders. Peace. 2 Likes |

It appears MASSOB commands a lot of respect in SE and SS. Many people supports them. Why all these police and army since they are not a violence group? 1 Like |

If every1 sits @ home, MASSOB will only walk by singing their songs n d police/military will not have to open fire cos it suppose to be a peaceful protest and according to d law a peaceful protest is kool. Just 1 day, make una no allow greed n vex ruin ur year of success. Give to caeser what belongs to him. Just give dem 2day make dem show dem power n dey finish every1 goes out to have a laugh n a pint or 2. |
