Palpable fear has allegedly gripped the people of Anambra State especially residents of Onitsha, sequel to the reported arrival of group of soldiers in droves for security build up against the alleged Sit-At-Home order being canvassed by the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB.

As early as 7.30 am, Thursday, lorry loads of soldiers were sited trouping into Onitsha from the River Niger Bridge head.

Reports said they may have come from Delta and other neighbouring States into Onitsha as it is believed to be the operational headquarters of MASSOB, while Okwe, Imo State is the theoretical headquarters.

MASSOB had through its Director and Deputy Director of Information, Uche Madu and Mazi Chris Mocha warned that it would deal ruthlessly with any body who refused to observe the Sit-At-Home order.

According to Mocha, “the Sit-At-Home order remains June 8, 2013 and any group or groups that said it has been postponed said so on their own.”

Meanwhile, the State Police command had in a press release warned MASSOB and other groups agitating for a Sovereign State of Biafra to steer clear of June 8, Sit-At-Home stating that it would invoke some sections of the law to ensure that lives and property of the people are protected.

In a press statement yesterday, the State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka reminded MASSOB and other militant groups that they remain banned in the state.

He urged the citizenry to go about their normal business and forget about the ranting of those he described as miscreants.

It would be recalled that the Association of Igbo Youths Organization, AIYO, had on Tuesday stormed the Anambra State House of Assembly where it revealed that it would assist the security operatives in ensuring that the Sit-At-Home order would not be observed.

Nobody is stopping you from leaving.

Why don't you head to Cameroon?

starme high: THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE DELIBERATELY LOOKS FOR MASSOB TROUBLE.
Did FG see what police did to Massob at Awka- Etiti on Tuesday June 4 2013 at their rally preparation for the sit-at-home exercise police open fire at them.
Did FG know that they deliberately look for MASSOB trouble? If MASSOB react, FG will charge MASSOB leader against treason. MASSOB requests NDIGBO all over the world, to sit-at-home on Saturday June 8 2013 to reflect on the continued and unprovoked, massacre of our people in Nigeria.
I am ANTHONY EDEKE Commissioner for mobilization and planning, MASSOB. Area 17 under Onitsha south region.

50calibre: Nigerian soldiers as well as the lame government, please focus on matters of more pressing concern, like addressing terror organisations like boko haram, ansaru etc and also tackling issues of electricity, poverty and a whole range of more important issues.

When would the government learn to get their priorities right?

Billyonaire: North wants Boko Haramistan
West wants Oduduwa Republic
East wants Biafra
I need a United States of Niger Delta.

Why force a people to a marriage of convenience, if the masses of the people want secession, who is really benefiting from this union ?

I see no reason for this union, sooner or later this marriage will wane, if not now, certainly later. This country is ethnically divided. Only electricity cables connect us together!
