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.

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. - Arinze Eziefule.
