MASSOB threatens mayhem in South East over Uwazurike

6
Movement For the Actualiza­tion of Sover­eign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has warned that the Boko- Haram insurgency in the North East of Nigeria would be a child’s play compared to the kind of terror they would unleash on Igbo states if the po­lice attempts to arrest, or arrests their leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike.
They group described as frivolous, allegations lev­elled against Uwazurike by the sacked former members of the movement led by the former information director, Uchenna Madu.
They said this stern reaction has become necessary follow­ing the publication Madu made in the Saturday Sun of August 16, 2014, in which he levelled absurd and baseless allega­tions against Uwazurike, as well as calling for his arrest.
The movement warned the governors of the South Eastern states to warn the leadership of the police in their states to desist from any plan of try­ing to arrest Uwazurike as this would lead to grave con­sequences that can be better imagined than experienced.
MASSOB’s Abia Cen­tral Director of Information, Mr Ansalem Ogbonna, who spoke to Sunday Sun in com­pany with the regional admin­istrator for Umuahia North, Mr Felix Ezekwem, gave this warning after a meeting of the movement in Umuahia, Abia State capital.
He said that when Madu was incarcerated by security agents, it was Umuahia North MASSOB that cared for his family, and saw his younger sister through the university.
“It was MASSOB that bur­ied his step-mother and his fa­ther, and has always been there for him, but today, he is biting the fingers that fed him,” Og­bonna alleged.
He warned that any attempt by the police to get involved in the affairs of MASSOB, try­ing to arrest Uwazurike just to please Madu will lead to grave consequences of unimaginable height.
“I want to tell the Nigerian Police who are warming up for Uwazurike’s arrest to be very careful. If the Nigerian Police feel that they are capable of demonstrating their intelli­gence, they should help the Ni­gerian soldiers to fight Boko- Haram insurgency in Gwoza, Bama, Adamawa and all other Boko-Haram war- torn areas before coming into MASSOB family. Any attempt by the police in trying to arrest Uwa­zurike, I am assuring you that Boko-Haram insurgents will be termed saints to what will happen in the South East.”
He warned that the meek­ness of the movement should not be taken for weakness, as they are following issues based on their agreement with the United Nations Organization to go about their agitation for self- determination without violence.
MASSOP’s regional admin­istrator for Umuahia North, Mr Felix Ezekwem advised Ndig­bo to trust Uwazurike and the movement, stating that Madu’s insults on Uwazurike should earn him the punishment of being paraded naked round the market square as Igbo culture demands.
The zonal administrator for Abia Central, Madam Com­fort Ogbuokiri described as unfortunate Uchenna’s action against Uwazurike, stating that he has bitten the finger that fed him.
Madu could not be reached for his reaction as several calls to his cellphone was not an­swered. source - http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=81650
