The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday warned that it would not take lightly any attempt to undermine its June 8 sit-at-home directive in Imo State.
The group said the directive would afford Ndigbo the opportunity to critically reflect on their fate in the Nigerian project, especially over the suppression of the Igbo.
In a statement, the MASSOB Regional Administrator in Njaba Local Government Area of the state, Mr. Emmanuel Chukwudi Nwokeji, requested the Imo State residents, especially those living in Njaba to sit at home in protest against the unprovoked killings of Ndigbo in the North and other parts of the country.
He said: “This is in reaction to the continued killings of Ndigbo in Nigeria without regard to human life especially the killing of six Igbo youths in Abuja on June 8, 2005 and no justice has been done or the families compensated.”
Nwokeji explained that the directive by MASSOB, as a non-violent group, was a means of condemning the injustice and marginalisation meted out on Ndigbo.
He added that the sit-athome directive would send signal to Nigerian leaders that Ndigbo could still fight their continued marginalisation.
The regional administrator pointed out that the challenges faced by every Igbo man in Nigeria could not be addressed until Biafra Republic was actualised.

These mazis should find a place to put down their regalia
They are best known for their empty threats.

Toothless bulldogs, my problem with massob is they fail to distinguish between thuggery and war.
