ONITSHA — Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of,
MASSOB, has threatened to divide the
country if their leader, Chief Ralph
Uwazurike, was arrested for trial over
treason.
MASSOB members who marched in large
numbers in their Biafran uniform to all
major streets of Onitsha, yesterday,
carried placards with various
inscriptions.
Speaking through its regional
administrator for Onitsha Region 4, Chief
Arinze Igbani, MASSOB said the protest
was anchored on the basis of injustice,
incessant harassment and killing of Igbo
people across the country.
It made reference to Apo six killing of
Igbo youths who are yet to get justice
after several years the crime was
committed and urged the federal
government to refrain from the arrest of

MASSOB members who he described as
non-violent agitators.
Igbani lamented that Igbos had
continued to sacrifice their lives for the
unity of the country without any
commensurate compensation, adding
that Boko Haram militants that had
carried out violent attacks on Nigerian
citizens and institutions was on the
verge of being granted amnesty by the
federal government.

He vowed that MASSOB would continue
to agitate for self-determination no
matter the government’s harsh approach
that exposed their lives to danger.

He called on all “Biafrans” both at home
and in the Diaspora to observe June 8 as
a day of sober reflection to pay their
respect to all Igbos killed in Nigeria by
the powers that be.
He said: “I call on Igbos in Nigeria and in
diaspora to remain at home on June 8,
this year as a mark of respect for all
fallen heroes of “Biafra who have been
massacred in the Country for the simple
excuse that they’re Igbos.
“Why must the Federal Government
subject Ndi-Igbo to second class citizens
in a country they have helped to build?”

In his remark, Anambra State MASSOB
coordinator on Security, Comrade
Nnaemeka Onyemaechi disclosed that
the security agents in the state have
strategized on how to clamp down and
kill MASSOB members and their
sympathizers and called on all Igbos to
observe June 8 as a sit-at-home to
escape the brutality of the Country’s
Security agents, stressing that MASSOB
would continue to agitate the
independence of her people no matter
the threat
