A clash between the Movement for the
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB) and traders at the Ugwuagba Old
Motor Spare Parts Market, Obosi, Idemili-North
local government area, a suburb of Onitsha,
Anambra State on Wednesday left no fewer than
11 persons, including the chairman of the
market, Chief Ifeanyi Agulu, injured.
Trouble started when the market chairman
attempted to stop the N50 levy being collected
daily from traders in the market by the
MASSOB, an action which angered MASSOB
members and they descended on him, giving him
the beating of his life.
The chairman had insisted that he would no
longer allow the payment of the levy by traders,
with effect from the New Year, describing it
as illegal and an extortion.
About 11 persons were inflicted with various degees
of injuries as a result of the free-for-all between
the two, forcing the shutdown of the market by
a combined team of policemen and soldiers around
1pm.
When contacted, the Onitsha police area
commander, Mr. Benjamin Wordu, confirmed the
incident, saying the police were on top of the
situation as he had sent his officers and men
there to quell the situation.
Reacting on the development, the MASSOB
director of information, Comrade Uchenna Madu
condemned the bloody clash and called for peaceful
co-existence between MASSOB and the traders.
He urged traders to see MASSOB as their own
group protecting the interest of the Igbo nation.

Savages....

MASSOB members are best described as an extreme right-wing group. I could see many of the members forming a party and protesting against something or the other even if there were a Biafra.

Their souls rest in peace.
The current MASSOB is unwanted.

Hmm

Nobody is Igboland wants Massob. I understand why Peter Obi has taken a stand to stamp them out
