The Police are set to arraign six members of the
Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB), for alleged illegal activities.
The suspected MASSOB leaders arrested on August 6
according to Delta Police are: Ndubisi Ezeocha, 20,
Francis Onuigbo, 28, Emeka Izigbo, 28 and Andrew
Nwufulu, 26
Delta Police spokesman Lucky Uyabeme who gave the
names added: “On August 7, one Emeka Okafor ‘m’ aged
52 years, a native of Nkanu in Enugu State and the
acclaimed leader of the group was arrested with five
other suspects.”
Uyabeme, an ASP, said the suspects would be charged to
court at the end of investigation.
He listed the items recovered from them to include, 114
Biafran flags, two boots, 129 Biafran pounds and ten
shillings.
Others things recovered from them he said, include: 32
membership forms and other documents, ten pairs of
complete Biafran uniforms with name tags, three
cutlasses, seven hard cover notebooks for minutes of
meeting, two military belts and one expended cartridge.
He said the police would not allow any part of the state
to be used as breeding ground for any criminal activity,
insisting that acts of the suspects were “treasonable and
the government will not condone such lawlessness.”
Okafor, who is the Coordinator of MASSOB in Anioma/
Ndokwa East region, said he was arrested last week and
has been in police detention. in police detention.
Police accused the suspects of attacking vigilance men
at Powerline and Ominigboma areas of Asaba.
Okofor insisted that they were arrested because of the
growing popularity of MASSOB.
His words: “This is a sector, how can we go and attack
them. They are afraid that if MASSOB continues to be
visible, they would not continue to harass people. They
are street people.
“Nothing much happened, there were people that came
there and wanted to sympathise with flood victims and
three of my members went there. Unfortunately one of
them, who has not been given proper MASSOB training,
went with them.
“And while there, they were pushing each other trying to
get space and in the process the vigilance people
slapped one of my boys and he retaliated. And then the
vigilante people called policemen from ‘B’ Division.
Instead of coming to settle the matter, the police started
arresting our members, nothing again.”
He said MASSOB remained a peaceful association that is
going about its activities without intimidating, harassing
or attacking members of the public, adding that they
were attacked by crooks who removed everything that
the police paraded as exhibits.
“We did not go on road block neither did we go on
demonstration. We were at a place and they went there
to search everything. Those boys are crooks, they
searched everywhere and brought out these moneys.
The money is for me, we keep the money knowing that it
is a legal tender to the Biafran people, so we hide it
because we know the quality of it,” he said.

They should use the same force on the boko boys. I think this country is better off under a regional structure. Let us step back and develop our regions. Our politicians at too greedy to move this nation forward.

no matter what they do BIAFRA I stand!!!

Ibos are really confused . They want to live in Lagos on the guise of One Nigeria but won't give freedom to other ethnic groups in their own domain , they want to produce the president of Nigeria and turn Nigeria into an ibo country, Ojuku wanted to free Iboland but instead changed his mind and was heading towards Lagos. If I may ask, to do what exactly ?

Massob wants a Republic of Biafra while Nl ibos want one Nigeria so others won't have to look at them like rebels. No one needs an oracle to tell them that Ibos are really confused !
