MASSOB Gives Nigerian Army 48hrs Ultimatum OR Face War.

The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has given the Military High Command 48 hours to affect the release of their members including the corpses of slain members and immediate stopage of their harrassment in Onitsha.

The Movement's spokesman, Comrade Uchenna Madu, stated that the Army has provoked MASSOB members through their unwarranted killings and detention of their members, warning that, "if the ultimatum is not heeded, the Army and the Nigerian state will see the violent side of MASSOB".



The visibly agitated Madu maintained that the non-violent posture of MASSOB has been mistaken for weakness by security operatives, "who now derive joy in the killing and intimidation of unarmed MASSOB members".

"The current security challenges the country is grappling with as a result of the Boko Haram menace will be a child's play at the expiration of our ultimatum. We will declare war against the Army except our members that are currently in detention in different military facilities and police cells in Anambra state and entire South East are released unconditionally", he fumed.

Madu who gave graphic details of how soldiers attacked and killed some members of MASSOB in Onitsha on Sunday said that the soldiers were on a rescue mission of a man who deals on Idian hemp that was arrested by MASSOB members and handed over to the police in Onitsha.

He alleged that the man was an agent of some officers in the barrack and immediately he contacted them they moved to Okpoko police station, a surburb of Onitsha and set him free before they began the manhunt of MASSOB members at their meeting venues

Madu said that it was at Port Harcourt road by Silas Works road that they shot and killed three of their members who resisted their arrest.

Corroborating MASSOB's stance, the newly crowned "Ogirisi-Igbo (defender of the igbos), Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, said that the MASSOB members who were killed by the Army in Onitsha , were on their way to a meeting to fine tune arrangements for the burial of late Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu.

Describing the incident as provocative, the Igbo leader warned that the actions of the Army which he said was a systematic clampdown of Igbo youths, will have dire consequences if it is allowed to continue.

"We have endured the killing of Ndigbo in the North without reprisal attacks in the East. But we are being pushed to the wall by the Army in our own land. What have they done to the Boko Haram sect who are known enemies of the state. We are waiting to see what government will do otherwise we may resort to self defense", he sounded

But the Commander of the 302 Artillery Regiment Onitsha, Brig. General J. Abuka, denied that the Army killed MASSOB members, stating that if its true they should bring the corpses for people to see.

Military shld stop intimidating/killing MASSOB member. Their quietness shld nt be taken for weakness. If they re intimidating harmless MASSOB, what will they do to Boko-Haram?

I know that this soldiers killing unarmed massob members are brain washed aboki soldiers. While there is armed terrorist group in the north that they can't subdue. Why are these aboki's always criminating us the igbos?

The worst part of it is that ohaneze ndi igbo are parading touts as massob members,i was in onitsha b4 i relocated to where i am now,i knew how those touts that parade themselves as massob group harass the peace of individuals and communities,impose levies on the poor market women,buy goods with biafran currency that is not in existence yet and even went to the extent of abducting some personnels like doctors,landlords and some rich residents.may be they must have gone to take the indian hem away from that man forcefully b4 the soldiers intervened.i know them very well.if the ohaneze must make things happen accordingly they must recruit reasonable individuals not all those illiterates and dropouts that smoke and run after buses in the park and along the road .if care is not taken they may end up bringing disgrace to ndi igbo.
