massob-protest
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra( MASSOB), yesterday accused the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Solomon Arase of lawlessness by inciting violence in the South East. The allegation came even as the Delta State branch of the movement vowed to shed the last drop of their blood for the realisation of the MASSOB dream.
The group, therefore, warned the IGP not to start a fire the Police would not be able to contain. In a statement by MASSOB Assistant National Director, Comrade Sunny Okereafor, “The Inspector- General of Police has shown that he is a lawless person by ordering his men to attack unarmed people, shooting and killing our members in the church, market places for agitating for their rights.
The statement read further, “ imagine the Police storming our churches, shooting guns, abusing Christians in our land, ” insiting, “we are Biafrans and we remain Biafrans.  You cannot force us to remain in Nigeria and any person or man who does not want to hear about MASSOB should leave eastern Nigeria without further delay,” the statement read further.post by expdonaloaded.blogspot.com...
“No amount of intimidation can make us to go back. Biafra is the answer; Nigerian police should stop posting their members here, we have our own security. No going back on Biafra, on Biafra we stand!” The group reaffirmed.
On its part, the Delta State chapter of the Movement has said there is no going back on the struggle. Addressing members amid downpour, MASSOB leader in the state, Comrade Joseph Odikpo, said what the body is demanding for is legal. He maintained that the group had met all the conditions required for separation from Nigeria, adding that some foreign and African countries had done likewise without war, bitterness or rancour.
Also, the western zone coordinator of the Movement, Mr Mayor Ben-Onuegbu has reiterated its resolve to part ways with the country. Addressing journalists in Lagos as part of activities marking the 16th year anniversary of the organization , he said MASSOB had reported the matter to the United Nations in 1999 through the Bill of Rights, urging the international body to use its good office to ensure its peaceful separation from Nigeria. He said that the struggle to secede became necessary on account of the marginalization the region has suffered for many years.
