We’ll take up arms to actualize Biafra — MASSOB

Following the killings of over 50 armless members of Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra,MASSOB, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Biafra Independent Movement, BIM, by soldiers on Monday, who were celebrating the  Biafra Day anniversary, the Biafra pro-groups has threatened to resort to arm struggle to actualise Biafra.
This came as  MASSOB accused the Anambra State Governor,Wille Obiano of acts of cowardice, inferiority complex, unsteadiness expressly exhibited by his administration which allowed the security agents to unleash terror on his subjects.
MASSOB Leader,Uchenna Madu, in a statement on Monday, also accused Igbo leaders of sabotaging their course while demanding for the release of all detained pro-Biafran agitators.
He said,  "We condemn the brutality and the unprovoked killing of non violence Biafran agitators during the annual anniversary of Biafra declaration mostly in Anambra state. The magnanimity of Nigeria soldiers and other security agents have been shown on the  attack on armless Biafrans. This shows there primitiveness, un-professionalism in discharging there duties.
"It also shows the high level of ethnic, religious and pathological hatred against the people of Biafra by the Nigerian Government. The brutal onslaught against the people of Biafra is an indirect call reminder that the non violence Biafran agitators should start the militant way in Biafra restoration. We will therefore, answer that call.
"Today Nigeria economy is bleeding because of the intimidating,consistent activities of the Niger Delta Avengers. MASSOB roundly blame Willie Obiano, the Governor of Anambra State who out of cowardice, inferiority complex and unsteadiness expressly allowed the security agents to unleash terror on his subjects.
"Anambra State is part of Biafra, and we shall continue to exist and have our programs in Anambra State. MASSOB also noticed with disappointment the cowardly silence of key Igbo leaders who taught that the activities of Biafran agitators doesn't concern them. MASSOB demand the unconditional release of all Biafra agitators arrested last Monday.
"We also demand the release of bodies of dead ones and the release of Maxi Nnamdi Kanu, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi, Ben Onwuka and 23 others detained at Awka and Onitsha prisons. These men are prisoners of conscience who committed no criminal offence. They were only exercising there fundamental rights of existence. MASSOB also warns the people of Biafra to be conscious of there security future existence as more dangers loom."

Following allegation of massacre of members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Monday, by security agents in Onitsha, the 82nd Division, Nigerian Army said, yesterday, it merely invoked the extant Rules of Engagement (ROE) to resort to self-defence and protect the strategic Niger Bridge.
