Chief Raphael Uwazuruike, leader of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has been accused of working with Hausa Fulani Islamic Jihadists and has betrayed the struggle for restoration of a Biafra state.

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) made this allegation after the expiration of the four-day ultimatum given to Uwazuruike to provide evidence to support his claim that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and members were ‘fraudsters who are out to deceive gullible people’

IPOB in a statement said Uwazuruike wanted to damage IPOB’s global posture and that of its leader by impugning his and its collective integrity.

“Like the Hausa Fulani Islamic Jihadists he is now working for, Uwazuruike peddled false allegation and definitely has no evidence to substantiate it. Anybody who has been privileged to listen to Kanu preach his gospel of Biafra restoration on Radio Biafra, or any of his numerous press interviews, will know that only few people alive, today, can be said to be his equal or match intellectually.
"Uwazuruike should provide the public with the name of the university where he studied law and at least two names of his former classmates at the university. We would like to know a title of Uwazuruike’s thesis and the name of his supervising professor. Uwazuruike should provide the public with his Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) enrolment number since he claims to be a lawyer.
“From all indications, Uwazuruike is the person that does not have any certificate and therefore, a fraudster. Had Uwazuruike remained faithful to the cause of Biafra restoration and not engrossed in defrauding and deceiving unsuspecting Biafrans, Kanu and IPOB would not have emerged,” IPOB stated.

Administrator of BIM, Emmanuel Omenka, said IPOB is a toothless bull dog with empty threats.

“IPOB gave Uwazuruike a four-day ultimatum to prove his innocence against the allegation he (Uwazuruike) levelled against Kanu and the ultimatum has since elapsed without heaven falling.
“It is an empty threat; they are cowards and do not have an office. They only make noise at newspaper stands and on pages of newspapers,” Omenka stated.
