HIJACKED SHIP: ARMY EXONERATES IPOB AS MASSOB DISTANCES SELF FROM SEIZURE.
Nigerian military authorities have exonerated the separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from the reported hijack of a vessel with foreign nationals. The hijackers are demanding the release of jailed IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu who is facing treason charges.

Acting Director of Defence Information, Brig-General Rabe Abubakar told the Vanguard newspaper that “It is not true. The story about the hijack has happened but not within our waters and it is not under any particular group.

“But it (ship) is currently being guarded by Benin Republic Navy. The name of the Ship is MT Leondias (9279927), a tanker. The ship is presently in Benin waters, about 7.5 nautical miles, off Cotonou Port under the watch of the Benin Republic Navy.”

The exoneration by the military comes as another pro-Biafra group, Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB0 also washed its hand from the reported seizure of the vessel.

A leader of MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu, said that the group has no hand in the alleged hijacking of any merchant ship or any threat to blow up the alleged ship, because of its non-violence policy

“I am aware that a militant group sometime gave the Federal Government twenty-one-day ultimatum to release Mr Nnamdi Kanu, failing which they threatened that they will do what will surprise the Nigerian government. Maybe it is the group, I do not even remember their name but I heard or read about that threat.

“You know that a lot of groups are springing up from the old Eastern Region to agitate for the actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra and as far as they are fighting for Biafra, we cannot disown them, but they have their own style which I think the Federal Government of Nigeria understands easily. If you are not violent, they will not understand and they will ignore you. So, we support the group if that is what they have actually done.

“We in MASSOB are not involved in violence, that is why they do not take us serious. They believe we are illiterate job seekers that are frustrated in life and decided to demand for Biafra. They think that our own is to demonstrate peacefully and they will shoot and kill us and go into jubilation that they have dealt with us, but now, they have seen their match. We support the people if they have actually done that.”

Buhari and Zoo-niGERia Army will keep disgracing themselves. All attempts by them and their co-travellers to link IPOB to criminality will keep backfiring.

I see

An efulefu even said that IPOB is responsible for the blast in Benin Yesterday without any source, tangible evidence or whatsoever and the mods allowed the post to stay.


It is alright anyways, let them continue.
