The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has called for the immediate and unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Ben Onwuka of Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM). MASSOB also demanded for immediate release of 23 other Biafran detainees languishing at Awka and Onitsha prisons since 2006.

 

This was made public in a statement released yesterday in Onitsha by the national Director of Information (MASSOB), Comrade Samuel Edeson. He said the decisions were taken at MASSOB’s headquarters yesterday at Okwe, Okigwe during its emergency meeting.

 

Furthermore, MASSOB said the continued detention of these Igbo agitators by the federal government, was the more the country suffered diplomatic damages.

 

“MASSOB will continue to partner with (IPOB), lower Niger congress and Biafran groups in Diaspora for genuine agitation, we shall never relent despite arrests, detention, killings and persecution.

“We demand for the unconditional release of our brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, (IPOB leader and others) whose cases cannot be justified by the Nigeria government, their continued detention has exposed the bias of Nigeria judiciary” MASSOB said.
