'Igbo 're the real target of the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Benue ' - MASSOB warns, Says bombing of Nwodo's house is a precursor
www.odogwublog.com reports that the
Uchenna Madu-led Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra ( MASSOB)
has raised alarm that Ndigbo are the main target of the on-going ethnic
cleansing in Benue State by killer herdsmen.
According
to MAaSSOB, the aim of those behind the genocidal act is to first
decimate the Tivs and establish their military base in their territory
before their final incursion into the neigbouring Igbo which has
remained their target.
MASSOB
National Director of Information, Samuel Edeson, who raised the alarm
while reacting to the Sunday morning explosion at the Nsuka country home
of the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, called
on Ndigbo to wake up to the realities.
Describing
the attack as "regrettable and disgraceful" MASSOB vowed to assist in
the efforts to unmask those behind the "devilish operation."
Edeson
in a press statement yesterday said the bombing of Nwodo's house was a
precursor to the fate of Ndigbo after herdsmen if unchecked, had
decimated the people of Benue State.
The
statement read in part: "We wish to remind Ndigbo that the terrorist
attack by Fulani herdsmen on the people of Benue is not their main
agenda, their target is Igbo land.
"They want to use Benue state as a conquered land for establishment of
their terrorist military base for further attacks against Ndigbo."
MASSOB
however vowed to defend Igbo land against any invasion by terrorists
while calling on Ndigbo to fully identify with the agitation for Biafra
restoration, insisting that Nigeria can no longer work together as one
entity.
"We shall
intensify our security efforts, vigilance and grassroot reawakening of
security consciousness in Igbo land against our common enemies," MASSOB
said.
MASSOB
challenged Ndigbo who still believe in the theory of ' one Nigeria' to
wake up to realities on ground and rather devote efforts towards
actualising Biafra independence where the future of the race can be
guaranteed.
"We
call on Ndigbo to wake up and join hands with all the genuine pro
Biafra groups to protect our land from these marauding terrorist Fulani
herdsmen."
It also
cautioned Igbo politicians championing the agitation for Nigeria
President of Igbo extraction to perish the idea, saying such a project
is not feasible under the the ill- structured 'one Nigeria'.
"MASSOB
advised Ndigbo to eloquently identify with Biafra movement for the
emancipation of Biafra people. Any Igbo man agitating for Igbo president
in Nigeria is an enemy of Ndigbo because such agenda is centred on
personal interest.
"MASSOB
is calling on Ndigbo and all Biafrans to wake up from their political
slumbering. Ndigbo must know that our enemies are now within our midst.
We condemn this terrorist attack against an Igbo leader. Now, it is Nnia
Nwodo, tomorrow who knows the next? "
