The Movement for Actualization of
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has given the military in Anambra State 48
hours within which to release five of its members allegedly arrested
yesterday in various locations in the state.
The
regional administrator of MASSOB in charge of Nnewi South Local government
Area, Mr. Tony Nwodo gave the ultimatum while addressing members during an em-
ergency meeting and concluded that they “will shut down Anambra State if
the five arrested members are not released within 48 hours.”
Mr.
Nwodo named those arrested as MASSOB Utu Area Administrator- Eugene Odoh, and
other members of the group who include Friday Nwoye, Sunday
Amaechi, Chuma Okonkwo and Ebuka Okolo.
“Eugene
Odoh was picked from his shop at No. 2, Chukwurah Street, off Awka
Road, Onitsha, this evening.
“They
stormed his shop with six Hilux pick-up vans and a Sienna bus. They
ransacked his shop and made away with some money.
“They
also made away with valuables. His where about and that of four
others are yet unknown. The four others were picked from their homes and on the
road without any offence.”
“We
will not take this if they are not released after 48 hours, we will show the
military the stuff we are made of, the fact that we are a non violent body
fighting to actualize a sovereign state of Biafra does not mean we will
be taken for granted, we have other non violent ways of dealing with violent
people like the military are proving to be to our members” he said.
He
said the Utu Area administrator the Military arrested is a peace- maker and was
given a traditional title of ‘Nchuanwu Ndigbo (Preventer of Sun for Ndigbo) .
Meanwhile,
palpable fear of uncertainty has reportedly gripped the residents of
Onitsha over the heavy Presence of both the military and Police personnel
who patrol the major roads for three consecutive days now.
