MASSOB backs IPOB, says failure to produce Kanu in court will bring devastation

The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has thrown its weight behind the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over the detention of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The leader of MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu said the decision is in the spirit of Biafranism and brotherhood among pro-Biafra agitators.

Comrade Madu said MASSOB has, therefore, declared full support for the call for civil disobedience and total economic and social lockdown against Nigeria over the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

He demanded the Federal government to produce Mazi Kanu physically in court on Thursday, 21st October as failure to do so will be a proof of evidence that he has been killed in DSS dungeon.

He further threatened more uncertainties if Nnamdi Kanu is denied physical appearance in the court on the adjourned date.

The statement reads in part:

“In the spirit of collaboration and for Biafra sake, MASSOB will engage positively in every steps, programs and activities that will effect the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“We support other moves that draw Biafra closer to actualization.

“We shall continue to collaborate and partner with every positive move and steps that will effect the release of our other comrades in different Nigeria prisons mostly in Awka and Onitsha detention camps.

“The call for stay at home on Thursday, 21st October, 2021 which has been our recalling measure and steps for effective civil disobedience is totally voluntarily, this exercise has always been the life wire of the Biafran struggle which boomed the potency and acceptability of the Biafra struggle.

“The request for closure of Markets, public / private motor parks, schools and other public business premises are voluntarily, not by force, it is a mark of respect and love for our fatherland and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“As a non-violence organization, Biafrans shall not be compelled, pressurised or forced to observe the stay at home exercise.

“MASSOB, IPOB and other pro-Biafra groups will not molest, compel or intimidate anybody to observe the stay at home exercise as all our members shall stay indoors, there shall be no physical demonstration, street march, procession or any other public functions tomorrow in Biafra land.

“The heavy presence of armed Nigeria Army, Mobile police, DSS operatives, Navy, Civil Defence in major cities of Biafra land since yesterday are all signs of military jittery, fear and cowardice, it is a mesmerization of President Buhari’s Soldiers.

“The security panic, the presence of Soldiers have created in Biafra land will assist immensely and positively on the people to comply to our demands.

“The Nigeria security agents are complimenting and justifying the Biafra struggle.

“MASSOB is demanding for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi kanu and others detained in Nigeria prisons.

“The Biafra struggle will continue to unfold more confusing nature to Nigeria state until they realize their fruitless efforts in the unjust detention of Biafran Jews.

“No amount of security intimidation, mesmerization, killings, detention, oppression, incarceration etc. will ever stop the will power of an indigenous people for self determination,” Madu concluded.
