Movement for
the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) and Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) have declared that the alleged intimidation,
and harassment of prominent Igbo men and their businesses has justified the
clamour for the restoration of Biafra state.
The
groups in their separate reactions over the commando style invasion of Innoson
Vehicles Manufacturing Company and arrest of its chairman, Chief
Innocent Chukwuma by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) condemned the move, calling it an insult to Igbo
leaders.
They
that the invasion, physical assault and abduction of Chukwuma was consciously
hatched, sponsored and allegedly backed the Federal Government of Nigeria
because of its “unrepentant jealousy against Ndigbo, stressing that the more
the oppressors of Ndigbo vent their frustration and envy, the more Ndigbo is
developing more technological feat.
The
groups said that with the economic emasculation of the Biafran
territories through decades of punitive policies, the few successful businesses
that made it against all odds like Chief Chukwuma is now being harassed and
humiliated publicly by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
