Chief Emeka Ojukwu, the first son of the late Biafran leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu has confessed that he invited Officers and men of the Nigeria Police to arrest the leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Chief Raph Uwazuruike.

Speaking in an exclusive interview today in his Nnewi Anambra State residence of his late father, Emeka Jnr. said there was serious fight in their family compound on Sunday during the traditional removal of mourning clothes by their family for their late father as is the custom of their people.



According to him, the commotion was caused by the MASSOB leader who he said was invited to the occasion by Ojukwu's wife, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu. He said Uwazuruike came arrived with hundreds of MASSOB members and refused to heed the advice of the security men at the gate who told him to go into the compound with a few of his men rather than the crowd.

He alleged that Uwazuruike did not only force his way into the compound but also ordered his men to physically assault him, a development he said prompted some MASSOB members who were no longer loyal to Uwazuruike engaged those loyal to him in a free for all.

He said it was at that point that he made a couple of calls that brought in some soldiers and policemen that controlled the situation.

The MASSOB leader according to him was able to beat the security men and escape arrest before the arrived the place. The attempt to arrest Uwazuruike therefore was due to the unruly behaviour of his members exhibited in the early morning of that day before the church service.

"I heard that there was a request made by the SSS there to Abuja to be given permission to arrest him (Uwazuruike) because of the lawlessness that his unruly men exhibited and that could have possibly made him to hastily leave the compound when he got the wind that there was an attempt to arrest him," said.

"You can not come into somebody's household and try to take over the entire household. The family here is Ojukwu family and it is our business to secure it. Nobody can come from outside and do it for us. And when you go to somebody's home you respect it and I think that is the standard anywhere", he insisted.

Uwazuluike seems not be in control of things thisdays,the other day he was accussed of arresting the president of BZM with other fictitious activities and now he forcifully barged into some one's house without due respect.
Can somebody tell me whats actually wrong with him or is it because Ojukwu handed him the mantel of leadership as "Eze Ndiigbo Gburugburu 2" that makes his body to be shivering?

@Afam4ever..is this the next biafra leader u Igbos are waiting...if dis tout nwazurike becomes ur new leader then ur tribe is as good as dead n burried....

afam4eva: Are these people still fighting for Biafra or what? I think all of them should be rounded up and shot with their mouths open in upper Iweka. If at all we must fight for Biafra it's not these illiterates that should be given the responsibility. Buncha 1diots.

illiterates? Then MEND,AREWA and OPC are what?MASSOB are easily the most peace of the lot,ojukwu jnr. should've anticipated their arrival

They're all illietartes but we're talking about MASSOB here.

Ur statement is very fallacious, they have always being fighting for their own cause and no for the igbos...

achi4u: Can we stop painting MASSOB black here.please

Massob is black, so calling by its true colour is no offence. I am igbo and I have serious sympathy with the just cause of defining our national co-existence which biafra represents but pray Uwazuruike is like born again pastor exploiting illiterate but innocent guys to achieve personal unmerited glory to the detriment of the just cause of biafra. The sick part is that these illiterate touts are innocent and unarmed even with basic defensive tool

My issues with massob is their mode of operation,if they can start bombing and destroying of life and properties nobody will remember to call them illitreate.Today boko harams are litreate because of their mode of operating... they can handle any sophisicated wepon and can bomb anywhere they like.

BIAFRA is bigger than the two guys in question, so this is not news

If we talk now.igbo boys go talk say we dey talk.keep on acting,we dey watch.

Fela is beta dan ojukwu 1 billion times.

Too bad...they should respect the wishes of the family and the memory of Ojuiku.

Sogo10: Fela is beta dan ojukwu 1 billion times.

That is without a single doubt. Fela is one of the greatest black men. I love him most for his criticism of Islam and Christianity.

If Massob respects Ojukwu, they shoould respect his family too.

Ngodigba are you an atheist?

When will ds Emeka jnr stop talking abt 'my father' & let hz own children talk abt him?
On what conviction is Massob,uwazurike n Emeka jnr, anchoring their title?

Too Bad, Uwazuruike why?

I believe Biafra stands for the
"Bia Fraternity".

The ceremony ought to have commanded decorum from anyone invited or wishing to attend.

I would call in the police if I was an Ojukwu. Again, if all was well between the sons of Ojukwu and the MASSOB leader, one quick word or phone call between them would have killed this headline.

seanet01: Ngodigba are you an atheist?

No. I'm not. I believe in God but I don't like how brainwashed most Christians and Moslems are.
