While reacting to the news of the recent arrest and detaining of the former Senate President of Nigeria, Ike Ekweremadu and his Wife by the British Security officials, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has on Thursday expressed delight and satisfaction over the arrest of Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife in London over alleged organ harvesting.
Reacting, MASSOB said Ekweremadu is suffering from the sabotage campaign, he is leading against national Justice and Peter Obi emerging as the next president of Nigeria.
”We are ashamed of these sacrilegious and irresponsible acts of a so-called national leader. What kind of monetary inducement will make Ike Ekweremadu and his wife stoop so low for this criminality if not they are mentally slaved and subjected by the Hausa Fulani oligarchy as political errand boy and girl.
