Members of the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State
of Biafra, MASSOB on Friday gave the
Nigeria police and other security
agencies a four-day ultimatum to
release over 11 of its members who
were recently arrested and shot in
Onitsha.
Addressing journalists in the
commercial city of Onitsha, the
MASSOB administrator for Awka
North region, Mr. Tony Nwodo said
the movement has given the police
just four days to release all its
members arrested or charge them to
court.
He further called for the immediate
release of the corpse of one Chimezie
allegedly shot dead by a joint team of
army and police at Nkwelle Ezunanka
recently during a shoot-out, adding
that after the expiration of the
ultimatum, the movement may
explore alternative avenue to seek
justice.
Mr. Nwodo also accused the police of
torturing MASSOB members while
raising the alarm over the
whereabouts of over five members of
the body, adding: “We are still
searching for five of our members
who got missing after the police shot
one of us”
He gave the names of the detainees
as Ifeanyi Pota, Ifeanyi Agbom,
Kelechi Nkwuta, Emeka Martin,
Chibuike Okafor, Osita Anene and
Chimezie who was shot dead during
the operation. He also said John
Okechukwu, Chidubem Sunday,
Okafor Ede, Emeka Nwani and Greg
Chimezie are still missing.
The regional administrator further
challenged the police and other law
enforcement agencies to charge their
members to court if they were found
to have committed any crime, adding
that they would be forced to go to
court to seek redress over the alleged
killing of their member.
“The police should release our
members within these four days we
have graciously given to them. Our
members are not criminals and
MASSOB has stood tall in
maintaining law and order in the
state and Igbo land in general”, he
said.
He wondered why police and other
security agencies could be hunting for
MASSOB members, maiming and
killing them without any justification.
“We have taken our case to the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) at
The Hague to look into the inhuman
treatment we are facing in Nigeria” he
said.

Its quite unfortunate that the security agencies cannot be able to round up all these criminals in Onitsha masquerading as MASSOB members! These boys are just criminals and should be treated as such, they have perpetuated a lot of evil in that town wonder why they are not operating like this in other south east states like they do in Anambra. A stitch in time........

Ultimatum na ni!!
