MASSOB issues warning to Anambra State government

By -

The Uchenna Madu led faction of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has warned the government of Anambra state to stop dragging the name of MASSOB or Biafra to the mud through the spreading destructive rumour.

MASSOB protests have become more frequent and vocal in recent times.
The pro-Biafra group reacting to rumour that Governor Willie Obiano had induced MASSOB with monetary leverage to compromise its activities and the struggle for Biafra actualization urged the Anambra state government not to link it with acts capable of undermining the integrity of the movement and Igbo people.


According to Vanguard, the leader of the group, Uchenna Madu described the alleged bribe allegation against MASSOB as a distraction at a time Ndigbo were still mourning the massacre  of her people by security operatives during this year’s Biafra Day celebration.

He said: “We want to state clearly that the reformed MASSOB can never be bought or hijacked by political elements and we cannot compromise or sabotage the struggle for emancipation and survival of our people.

“MASSOB warns the government of Anambra State to stop dragging the name of MASSOB or Biafra to the mud. We have not sent anybody or group of people to represent MASSOB in any capacity in their dealings with pro- Biafra groups and anybody or group of people who claim to represent or were sent by MASSOB in any capacity to deal with Anambra State government, is fake.”

The group said it was willing to partner or work with other Igbo groups, state governments and individuals, as long as such working relationship boarders on Igbo and Biafra interest and it must not compromise the ultimate goal of Ndigbo.


It said it will continue to hold Governor Obiano responsible for the killings of members of pro Biafra groups in Nkpor by Nigeria security agencies during the Biafra day celebrations.

Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described all Igbo leaders who visited President Muhammadu Buhari in the wake of the recent killing of protesting Igbo youths as traitors.

The IPOB members were allegedly massacred while praying and observing remembrance day for their fallen heroes at Nkpor, near Onitsha, Anambra state.

In a press statement signed by its coordinator, Clifford Iroanya, the group said it was surprised at the likes  of those who rushed to Buhari and congratulated him for reportedly killing Biafrans on the fateful day and not to condemn his murderous act  or to discuss the process of re
