MASSOB says it is not planning to free IPOB leader forcefully

The group's factional leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said they have no intention of breaking the law.

 

MASSOB’s factional leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said the group has no such plan.

Madu also said “How can a non-violent and armless organization like IPOB and MASSOB invade a courtroom located on the   3rd floor of the Federal High Court surrounded by heavily armed combined team of Nigeria security agents and modern technological security gadgets.”

Adding that “MASSOB and IPOB have no such intention, plan or agenda as we know that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and others committed no offence against Nigeria.

“The insistence of the Federal Government to hide the identity of their witnesses against Nnamdi Kanu and others is a sign of cowardice and unsteadiness.”

He said “FG has shot itself on the leg. For a soft landing, MASSOB advises President Buhari to immediately reach the principal Igbo leaders and release Nnamdi Kanu to them.

“The continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu will bring more devastating diplomatic doom for Nigeria. Biafrans are ready for the trial."

Also, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the reckless killing of its members by security agents, saying over 1,000 of them have been killed, publicly and secretly, since the arrest of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
