The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has accused its former leader of trying to attack its secretariat as leadership tussle grows rougher.
The Uchenna Madu-led faction of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has accused ousted leader, Ralph Uwazuruike, of plotting to attack its secretariat at Okwe, Onuimo council in Imo State, in order to restore himself as the group’s leader.
The Nation reports that the group warned Uwazuruike to stem the plan as it will resist such attempts, even as it appealed to security agencies to come to its aid.
Madu said: “Uwazuruike is under pressure because he never fought for the Igbo cause. That is why we are appealing to security agencies to come to our aid as our demonstration for Biafra is peaceful. We will resist Uwazuruike fire-to-fire if security agencies fail to arrest him.
“We will not watch him take over our headquarters. He has mortgaged our future to politicians.”
The group reiterated its insistence for the release of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM), Ben Onwuka, and other Biafra activists in detention.
