AWKA—SOME Igbo traders and artisans from various parts of the country have demanded the immediate release of the leader of the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike unconditionally, arguing that the MASSOB leader has not committed any offence.

In a statement by the national chairman of the group, Chief Ben Okoye, the national secretary, Chief Silas Otu and Lagos State chairman, Chief Emeka Kalu, the traders said that having studied the circumstances surrounding the invitation of Uwazurike by the Imo State police command, as well as his travails at the Zone 9 of the police command, they urged government to release him in the interest of peace.

According to them, Uwazurike is a true son of Igbo land whose presence and activities through MASSOB have brought hope to Igbo, adding that he has succeeded in removing the veil of fear, cowardice, inferiourity complex, stagnation and hopelessness among Igbo.

They warned that the refusal to release Uwazurike may lead to civil disobedience.

Ohaneze Ndigbo condemned

The group also condemned Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Igbo Governors, traditional rulers and political office holders for what it described as their nonchalant attitude towards the travails of Uwazurike, who, it claimed, is unjustly being detained by the Federal government.

When shall we have a plan on how to deal with these thugs?

lol igbo people love those words. . . .

They can't do diddlysquat is it today they started talking about a civil disobedience. Igbo ppl talk too much

govt of Nigeria should please release these ralph guy who ever he is- we Nigerians are tired of hearing nonsense about this and that.

Just release the freaking guy and give him a couple milion to get the shiot over with.

Why you dey pretend say you no know who e be? Good to see you are not in support of human rights violations.

Mehn MASSOB may need to turn violent.

It seems like the only thing that the gov't understands is pure violence. If the little Izon can make the Federal gov't bow down to them, then the mighty Igbo can definitely turn the East into a hotbed of turmoil.

We have waged a war for goodness sake and our numbers are ever increasing. I cannot wait for round 2 with those Hausa. Every time I look at a Hausa, I just want to go into battle with these worthy foes.

The Yorubas on the other hand I do not pay any attention to. There do or die politics is of no concern for me.

We can already start this on our campus of College Park. Oh I forgot you are Yoruba, where will you run since there are not many Hausa on campus. Will you stand your ground. Or will you continue to run after my Igbo babes?
