Emeka Izigbo, 28 and Andrew Nwufulu, 26
Delta Police spokesman Lucky Uyabeme who

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.

These idioots are on about biafrans when they aided fashola in his secession bid of deporting fellow nigerians in their country of birth. Rogue police like the rogue nigerian constitution. Somebody should bring them to book. This is the chance for the igbos to win both sides,either go their own way like they have been clamouring for decades or redefine the wayward constitution.
