Some Biafra secessionists have torn their
Nigerian passports to press home their demand
for the breakaway of the South-East from the
Nigerian state.
As of Saturday, no fewer than three videos were
seen on the online video sharing platform,
YouTube, in which some Igbo denounced their
citizenship of the country and declared their
allegiance to Biafra.
The Nigeria Immigration Service has, however,
warned that such act is criminal and attracts a
jail term.
In one of the videos, the man introduced himself
as Emenike Michael Nwofor. He said:
“My names are (sic) Emenike Michael Nwaofor.
I’m from Nnewi in Biafra land; when there was
Biafra, there wasn’t anything called Anambra
State. I would refuse to add that name called
Anambra State to it. I am from Nnewi, the former
Enugu State.
“I am living here in Bordeaux (France); I am an
asylum seeker in Bordeaux. I have been around
Bordeaux for a year plus and we have been able
to gather the Biafran family here in France; we
have been able to register with the government
of France as indigenous people of Biafra.”
After a long speech, he subsequently brought out
his Nigerian passport and tore the pages.
In another video, a young man, who did not
mention his name, also tore his Nigerian
passport angrily.
In the third video, the man, who spoke in Igbo
and French, tore his passport while using
derogatory words on the government of Nigeria.
The Public Relations Officer of the NIS, Deputy
Comptroller Ekpedeme King, while reacting to the
development in an interview with
SaharaReporters on Saturday, said the service
was not aware of the passport tearing. King
said:
Those who mentioned their names, if we find out
that they tore their passports, will be taken to
court. A process has to be followed.
There is a new Act called the Immigration Act
2015 which stipulates the punishment for any
alteration or destruction of Nigerian passport; it
is a jail term with conditions.''
Thousands of members and supporters of
MASSOB had last Tuesday embarked on a
protest in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital,
demanding to break away from Nigeria. This
happened after the Department of State Services
reportedly arrested and detained the founder of
the guerrilla broadcasting channel, Radio Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu, at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport Lagos on his arrival from
London recently.
In a swift reaction, governors in the South-East
and other leaders in the zone dissociated
themselves from the protests, saying they were
not in support of the group.
