The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) has recalled the pain, anguish, hunger, subjection, mesmerization and the supreme prices paid for the freedom of the Biafran nation.

The MASSOB Leader observed the 56th year anniversary of Biafra declaration by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the then president of the Republic of Biafra, remembering, celebrating and commemorating “the sacrifices of our gallants soldiers of Biafra made for our freedom”.
He pledged to continue to remember them because their sufferings always provoke and revive unshakeable and undeterred zeal and commitment for the self-determination of Biafra.
He reiterated that the new self-determination struggle and restoration of Biafra, anchored by MASSOB and others, is grounded on the principal of non-violence.
Madu said: “Today, all over the world, MASSOB members are on sober reflection, as we remember the brutalities, persecutions, mesmerization, traumatic torture, extra judicial killings, afflictions, imprisonment and traumatic deaths in the hands of the security agents of Nigeria.
“We resolved that we shall never relent or succumb to internal colonialism. They will never weaken our love, commitment and consistency in MASSOB.
“We know and understand that freedom can never be achieved on a platter of gold. Persecutions and political subjections always strengthen the zeal of genuine freedom fighters.
