Members of MASSOB Under-fire Over Sit-at-home Protest

MASSOB members under fire over sit-at-home protest

Members of the Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) behind last Saturday’s sit-at-home protest that was partially successful in the southeast may be in for a raw deal, it emerged yesterday.
Anambra State Governor Peter Obi took exception to the mayhem perpetrated by some of the members, saying they would not go unpunished.

The Police in Aba, one of the southeast commercial centres, said those arrested while trying to mobilise for the action would face prosecution.

For real? MASSOB Will Enforce Sit-at-home Directive

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.
