MASSOB Probes Killing Of Igbo
The leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, has disclosed that the group is currently investigating the extent of damage and killing of Igbo in the North as a result of bombings by Islamic fundamentalist sect, the Boko Haram.
Uwazurike, said: “I have sent my men to the North to collate facts and I have not got a feedback. They are currently discussing with Igbo people in the North, especially the victims who survived the attacks. They have to be back before I can comment fully because I don’t want to speak out of context.”
However, there has been disquiet and anger in the southeast over the killings of Igbo people by the Boko Haram sect.
Some Igbo leaders who spoke to P.M.NEWS today said consultations are ongoing to hold a meeting and take a stand.
Speaking on the attacks, former Anambra State governor, Senator Chris Ngige (representing Anambra Central in the Nigerian Senate) warned that bombings by the Boko Haram sect could lead to the disintegration of Nigeria.
He described the bombings as very unsettling, with a lot of ethnic colouration, stating that the dastardly actions are fraught with danger and pregnant with a lot of interpretations.
According to Ngige, “Boko Haram is threatening the unity of Nigeria and it can lead to its disintegration.”
He added that it is very unfortunate that most of the victims are Igbo Christians who are lawfully eking their living in the north.
He charged the Presidency to take the bull by the horn, stressing that it is not a mere storm in a tea cup.
