The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB), has rejected reports that it is plotting to attack
the residence of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Rumours have been making the rounds that the group is set to attack the IPOB leaders
house at Isiama AfaraUkwu, Umuahia, Abia state.
MASSOB zonal leader, Felix Ezekwem, while speaking with newsmen said the group has
been a non-violentorganisationn and would not involve itself in any act of violence.
Ezekwem said in accordance with the non- violent agitation by Ralph Uwazuruike, its
founder, the group has restrained itself from acts of violence.
”Why would anybody associate MASSOB with a purported plot to attack Nnamdi Kanu’s residence?, We are not quarreling with any
individual or group, our preoccupation is the struggle for the actualization of an
independent state of Biafra. The struggle is our life.
”Since Chief Ralph Uwazuruike founded MASSOB in 1999, it has been a non-violent organization; nobody has ever associated us
with violence.
”The celebration of our anniversary on May 22 was not violent. If MASSOB was a violent
organization, we would not have expelled some of our former leading members who
were associated with violence.
”We urge the purveyors of such wicked information to look elsewhere. We are used
to such antics of the enemy; it has been their style to try to distract us from the struggle. MASSOB refuses to be distracted,”
he said.
