‘’Don't Be Afraid To Proclaim Biafra’’ , Uwazuruike Tells MASSOB ; Accuse Police Of Taking Cash And Valuables From MASSOB Office

  

Leader of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has charged his subjects not to be afraid to proclaim the name of Biafra any where they may find themselves reports odogwuemekaodogwu.blogspot.com.

He maintained that fear of mentioning Biafra's name in any part of the country should not arise because MASSOB is itself the fear and mere mentioning its name is enough to scare those he identified as saboteurs, adding that there is nothing  whatsoever to be afraid of since an Igbo adage says that "fear does not fear anything".

He therefore charged his members to go all over the place and campaign for the independence of Biafra without violence, as contained in the popular voice of former Biafran Head of State and respected Igbo leader,  Late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.

Uwazuruike who gave the charge yesterday at Ojukwu's Memorial Library, in new Owerri, Imo State, further declared: "The signs of Nigeria’s break-up are everywhere”. In Nigeria, it is only the Igbo of Eastern Nigeria that is seeking for independence through MASSOB. While MASSOB seeks for freedom, self determination, secession and the sovereignty of Biafra, adding, South West seeks for true federalism, but in their minds they want an Oduduwa Republic".

He further declared: "Our brothers in the South-South seeks for resource control of what God had given them, but in their minds they want a country where their children and children’s children can proudly call their own. Therefore, anybody who fights against Biafra fights against God and the people and let me assure you that a free state of Biafra will assist America in the global war against terrorism".

Meanwhile the leadership of MASSOB has accused the police in Anambra state of invasion of its Ayamelum regional office at Anaku in Ayamelum Local Government Area of the state.

In a statement issued to newsmen yesterday in Onitsha, Anambra state,  MASSOB’s Deputy Director for Information and Anambra North Zonal leader, Mazi Chris Mocha said the body does not pose any security risk to the Nigerian State to have warranted such action to be meted out to an organization that preaches and practices non-violence.

Mocha listed some items suspected to have been taken away by the police team to include; cash worth N93,020, adding that the police team also set ablaze the Biafra, US and Israeli flags hung by MASSOB members on top of its one storey building housing its office, just as the police equally made away with six foreign chairs valued at N30,000 and 12 executive chairs valued at N23,200.

The statement further alleged that the policemen drafted from Ayamelum Divisional Headquarters, Anaku broke the doors of the building and allegedly gained access into the building where they also arrested six passersby including, two females and four males who were not even members of the movement.

He warned Nigerian security agencies, particularly the police to desist from further clamping down on armless MASSOB members for no just course or else they would go to court in each occasion to challenge their unlawful harassment, intimidation and illegal raiding and looting of their offices, henceforth.
