Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Raph Uwazuruike, yesterday evacuated 156 Igbo sons and daughters from Kano State.

The MASSOB leader sent three Ezenwata transport buses to bring Ndigbo back from the North. They arrived at about 5.30 a.m yesterday.

As early as 7am, some of the returnees from both Imo and Abia states were seen being taken to their destinations.

The National Director, Information and Communications of the MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, told The Nation yesterday that Boko-Haram sect is a conspiracy by the Northern region against President Goodluck Jonathan’s administartion.

He said Ndigbo in the North had been directed by the MASSOB to come back home to their region, adding that the essence of sending vehicles to them was to save their lives first, before their property.

According to Madu, “we are still articulating and counting our loses on what happened at Onitsha on Thursday and when the time comes, MASSOB would react”.

There was angry protest in Onitsha on Thursday following the killing of an Igbo lorry driver by a policeman  over N20. The residents of the commercial city including MASSOB members were among those who embarked on the protest, which forced the northerners to relocate to near by Asaba, capital of Delta state.

Though, normalcy has returned to the commercial city of Onitsha, where the state commissioner of Police, Muhtari Ibrahim and some senior members of his command had relocated since the incident, one could still feel the tension in the air.

However, Anambra state Deputy Governor, Emeka Sibeudu has equally visited the commercial city of Onitsha where he addressed the residents and enjoined them to remain calm.

He said that the state government in conjunction with  security agencies would make sure that such a situation doesn’t repeat itself again.

There was panic among the Hausa group yesterday in Awka and Nnewi respectively as they fear for any reprisal attack.

One of them who just mentioned his name as Aminu told The Nation that if he had his way, he would slaughter all the so called members of the Boko-Haram sect who he said had been causing confusion in the land.

He said that the people have made them to continue to live in fear in an environment they have lived in for the past 30 years and prayed Allah to clip the wings of the so called sect members.
