THOUGH it stated that its duty or programme is not to assess the performances of governors, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has tasked governors of the South-East states to pay more attention to improving the areas where people yearn for attention.

Reacting to a newspaper report of Monday credited to MASSOB Information Officer in Aba, Mr. Sonny Okereafor, who was reported to have said that the organisation heaped curses on the Abia State officials over the poor state of roads in the commercial city, the group’s National Director of Information, Mr. Uchenna Madu, told The Guardian that such assessment “should be left for God and the people, not MASSOB.”

According to him, MASSOB’s mission is “to agitate for Biafra through non-violence,” adding: “We and South-East governors have mutual respect for each other but we urge them to improve in the areas where the people are yearning for more attention.”

He stated: “The said report is embarrassing because MASSOB is not quarrelling with any South-East governor or government. When we see things go wrong, we can make our comment but do not place curses, as doing so would create wrong impressions.

THE Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Musa Katsina, on Tuesday evening paraded Emeka Osueke, alias Ogbanje, as the suspected abductor/killer of a prominent hotelier in Oguta Local Council, Emeka Esieme.

Osueke, according to the police boss, had led the kidnap and subsequent murder of Esieme in a nearby community, killing also two police officers last February, after which he was said to have escaped to Lagos.

According to Katsina, the bandit was caught after several hours of gun dwell with his men in a village hideout at Umutako, Ifakala, Mbaitoli Local Council, after his Command received information that the alleged killer had sneaked in.

He added that his anti-kidnap squad recovered one AK-47, military assault riffle, 162 AK-47 live ammunition and four mobile phones, stating that on investigation, it was uncovered Osueke had returned to abduct a prominent woman in the area, who had returned home to attend the annual August Meeting.

In a related development, Katsina said the police have rescued the kidnapped wife of Eze Basil Nwokeke, a monarch in the state, after an operation that lasted for two hours

Ikengawo: MASSOB isn't doing their job either but they're not wrong in openly voicing their concerns. They're valid after all.
Still MASSOB isn't doing their job. Where is MASSOB in the deporation saga, during Boko Haram, and during Buhari's lynch mob attacks on igbo churches after the elections? If MASSOB is acting in the legacy of Ojukwu, these are things Ojukwu wouldn't take lying down and they should be aware of this.

But when it is time to assess Fashola and heap curse on him, they can open their loud mouths.

gboss4sure: na T.A Orji and elechi be de problem we get for East.

eaglechild: orji T.A. should be in the Guinness book of records for the world's, worst governor of all times.

Yorubest:


MASSOB's mandate is to actualize Biafra and not criticize governments

Even at that, they have failed because I was expecting them to push through the UN for a referendum

Unfortunately, that hasn't happened and its a group with no ideals, no plans, no. vision but just a bunch of noisemakers

mbhs139:

...and if Fashola come arrest and send am back to Imo now, dem go say na deportation. Always running to Lagos shaaaa
