Ahead of Monday’s Biafra Day remembrance celebrations, in military uniforms yesterday intercepted five 18-seater buses occupied by the Chief Ralph Uwazuruike- led members of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) at a military check-point along Onitsha/Owerri dual carriageway by Azia Junction in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.

MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Chris Mocha, told newsmen on phone that he did now know where the soldiers took the detained travelers belonging to the group also known as BIM to.

Mocha explained that three of the buses carrying their members who were returning to Anambra and Delta states from Owerri, Imo State where they had attended their national convention were intercepted first, while two others carrying veteran Biafran soldiers returning from the same Owerri meeting were intercepted about 30 minutes later.

He disclosed that he had communicated the development to the MASSOB leader, Uwazuruike who in turn instructed him to issue a press statement on it.

Mocha said in spite of the odds, MASSOB has concluded arrangements to celebrate Biafra Day in remembrance of Biafra fallen heroes and the 49th anniversary of the outbreak of the genocidal civil war arising from the declaration of Biafra Republic, which claimed lives of millions of Igbo sons and daughters.

He also called on security agencies to leave their members alone as they were neither armed nor exhibited any act of violence.

He stressed that the concerned MASSOB members were harmlessly returning to Anambra and parts of Delta states from Owerri where they had attended meeting presided over by Uwazuruike.

veteran Biafran soldiers arrested by Nigeria Soldiers .

They're doing what they have been asked to do. Direct your grievances to the commander of the Zombies.

What's really wrong with this nigs..... We protest you kill us, we remember history you arrest us.

is their gathering illegal ?

Zoo thinking Zoo Approach

Nice one Nigerian army.
Keep giving the biafrans an excuse to keep agitating!

Army should come and carry the whole street on this picture o! Only hundred people?

If Nigeria was honest, the Biafran or Civil war would be part of our history and a day set aside to remember the loss of millions of souls mostly vulnerable children. If there was true reconciliation and assimilation, no one would be arrested or detained for remembering a day of great historical importance particularly for those directly affected. Those slain were fathers and grandfathers and relatives generally of those being molested in the SE today and for what?

The US in showing general rejection of apartheid, slavery and racism has lots of museums and records open to the public, blacks are celebrated and embraced as part of their history and so on. Even if there are pockets of racism and profiling, u can see the effort to assimilate and blend but Nigeria likes to live a lie because the contraption is a lie itself!

The movie, Half of a Yellow Sun was censored for having provocative contents of the injustice against Biafrans just because Nigeria likes to hide the truth. Even a memorial day is a crime in this cesspit! That date with the truth is really close...

News like this can only be heard in nigeria zoogeria.


by the way, what's with seun, his minions & their banning spree? Someone cannot air their views in peace anymore.
This wasn't the case under Jonathan's regime, I hope this isn't what I'm thinking.

What could have possibly been the crime they committed that led to their arrests? Is a peaceful protest now a crime? I don't understand this country at times.

And that is why the country would be destroyed
cause it is a caldron of evil and wickedness

meanwhile
Massob is a scam
IPOB is the real deal

this only happen when you are thé best but your headmaster wants to retain you by force.....

being one Nigeria should be by choice not by force....
stop making hausas and fulani inferior

Nigerian military is really a big disgrace to militaries and is not qualified to be called a military, from starving women and children to shooting at unarmed protesters to arresting people doing a remembrance,.

Is this how other militaries behave, no wonder their only achievement is starvation of women and children during the biafran war

Apparently, peacefully civil protest is now a crime in Nigeria right?

Well I have nothing to say, expired products are liable to kill so avoid them or better destroy them.



Nigeria must be destroyed and scraped from the world map.
