The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has alleged that the Nigerian army is trying to incite the South-South and South-East to war.

MASSOB said the incessant killing of its members is a way fueling war between the South-South and South-East.

MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, made the statement on Monday while speaking with Vanguard.

The pro-Biafra group also threatened to drag the Federal Government to the International Court of Justice, ICJ, at the Hague, over perceived incessant killings of pro Biafra protesters.

According to Okereafor, the incessant killings of pro Biafra protesters by security agents had become unbearable, and as such, the group has decided to drag the government to the ICJ.

Okereafor said, “MASSOB is worried at the rate at which defenceless pro Biafra agitators are being killed. It is unheard of to have soldiers shoot people who were gathered for prayers. We believe it is a strategy to incite the people of the South East and South-South to war. These are antics we know too well. We refuse to be deceived.

"The people of the former Eastern region have been thoroughly provoked. MASSOB will not keep quiet at these senseless killings and have decided to let the international community know about the atrocities being committed by Nigerian security agents.

“MASSOB have concluded plans to take our case to the International Court of Justice, Hague. We have compiled our evidences on the killings and the dramatis personae. Our group will not keep quiet on these acts of killings of innocent citizens.”
