Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, on Monday rejected alleged transfer of some detained Boko Haram members to Ekwulobia Prisons in Anambra State.
MASSOB said Boko Haram activities were taboo to Igbo culture and that Biafraland was not a dump site for Islamic religious fundamentalists, who always engage in bloodletting.
National Director of information, MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu, who issued a press release on the contentious issue of alleged decision to transfer Boko Haram prisoners to Anambra State, Monday, stated that it had discovered that this latest move by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to relocate what he described as the satanic minded Boko Haram to Igboland, had full backing of some foreign Islamic religious leaders.
MASSOB had in the press release, which was made available to journalists, maintained that its position was to the effect that Boko Haram, under any guise shall not be welcomed in Igboland.
The group stressed that the whole thing was ignited by the fact that Islamic countries were not all comfortable with the speed at which Biafra’s actualisation was now moving and gaining ground.
MASSOB, which spoke against the backdrop of demonstrations staged by traders in Awka, Onitsha, and other cities in Anambra State, against the purported plan to transfer Boko Haram prisoners to Anambra last Saturday, vowed that the organisation would defend Igboland from any form of external aggression, intimidation or suppression even from the Nigerian government.
Rejecting everything about Boko Haram and its prisoners, MASSOB said: “Boko Haram activities are a taboo to Igbo culture. We are not Muslims and can never be associated with it.”
The Igbo group had in the press release condemned the decision of the Nigerian government to relocate some detained Boko Haram members to Ekwulobia.
Comrade Madu, who spoke on behalf of MASSOB, also lauded the courageous diplomatic and eloquent steps taken by Indigenous People of Biafra and their Supreme Council of Biafra Elders over what it said was the milestone diplomatic achievement for Biafra’s actualisation.
