BIAFRA: MASSOB Denies Involvement In Onitsha Violence by mohince(m): 10:36pm On Dec 03, 2015 |
Following the violence that erupted on Wednesday, December 2, in Onitsha, the commercial city of Anambra state, when officials of the Joint Military Task Force (JTF) killed nine protesters and injured 18 others, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has reacted to the unfortunate and avoidable incident. The zonal leader of MASSOB in Delta North, Mr Chinedu Amaifeobu who spoke to journalists in Asaba, on Thursday, December 3, denied any involvement from its members. He said MASSOB was not involved in the violence that broke out, noting that it was the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) that perpetrated the act that led to the killings and destruction of property, Vanguard reports. The group’s zonal leader who said MASSOB is not a violent group went ahead to condemned the acts of violence that is being perpetrated by the IPOB. “MASSOB is not in support of the killings and destruction of property. We are not against any group in Iboland but not to the extent of killing innocent people and destroying property,” Amaifeobu said. Speaking further, Amaifeobu refuted speculation that there was a faction in MASSOB, which he said was being spread like a wild fire by one Uchena Nmadu. He reiterated that Mr Raphael Nwazilike remained the undisputed founder and leader of MASSOB worldwide. He claimed that the said Uchena Nmadu was dismissed from MASSOB since last year for misconduct, adding that IPOB and Nmadu are the ones terrorizing Onitsha and its environs. The zonal leader expressed optimism that its group will actualize Biafra without violence. He then pleaded with the media to contact any of their offices to vet whatever information about MASSOB at their disposal before going to press. Amaifeobu said MASSOB has offices in all parts of the Biafra zone, pointing out that the group under the leadership of Nwazilike was dedicated to the Biafra struggle. Meanwhile, Anambra state governor Willie Obianno has called for calm in the state following the renewed Biafra protest that has eaten deep into the heart of some eastern states. IPOB and MASSOB are agitating for a sovereign country from Nigeria. https://www.naij.com/655860-onitsha-bloodbath-read-massob-say.html

Biafra when Anambra will not marry Imo,
you ask for Biafra when Nsukka people
are seen as third class Igbo people, you
want Biafra yet Abakaliki people are not
seen as humans amongst several Igbo
people, you want Biafra yet discriminate
amongst catholic and Anglicans. May
Amadioha light our candles.
