Listen to article

As tension heightens in the South-East states over the total lockdown declared for today by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a sister pro-Biafran group, Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has asked Igbo leaders to demand the immediate release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement issued yesterday by MASSOB National Director of Information which was made available to The Eastern Updates, Edeson Samuel, the group advised the political, traditional, religious and opinion leaders of Igbo land to demand from President Buhari the release of Kanu as he visits Imo and Ebonyi states.

MASSOB which was silent about the IPOB sit-at-home order said, ‘It is imperative that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is being subjected to inhuman torture at the DSS detention cage because of Ndigbo. He represents the aspirations of Ndigbo in Nigeria.

‘MASSOB advises Igbo political leaders to use the occasion of President Muhamadu Buhari’s visit to revive the lost confidence and hope, Ndigbo bestowed on them by telling Buhari that Ndigbo are not being treated as co-citizens. They must demand for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention.’

The group reiterated that what Ndigbo wanted was Biafra from Nigeria stressing that ‘We can never deviate from this clamour for independence of Biafra Republic.’
