The Movement for Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has accused President Buhari’s administration of sponsoring the recent attacks in the South-East region.

MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, said this in a statement made available to journalists in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

He said the recent attacks in the southeast region were carried out by bandits under the protection of the government.

He further explained that the Buhari government is trying to discredit and blackmail the pro-Biafra organizations to create an erroneous impression that Biafrans are waging war against Nigeria.

The statement read in part, “The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has condemned the incessant criminal terrorism and security deterioration in Igboland.

“MASSOB condemned the terrorist attack on Chukwuma Soludo at Isuofia; we equally condemned the unwarranted killings of Ebonyi State indigenous citizens by Fulani terrorist herdsmen.  MASSOB condemned in totality the breaking of Owerri prison by the so-called unknown gunmen.

“How can untrained and amateurs with no military training overpower the entire security apparatus of Nigeria in the South-East? Why is it that there was no security resistance during the breaking of Owerri Prisons and Imo State Police headquarters in an operation that lasted more than one hour?

“Nigeria military cantonment, Obinze, Owerri, is seven minutes’ drive to the scenes of the crime; Imo State MOPOL base is three minutes drive to the scenes of the crime, but no resistance from security agencies.

“The terrorist attacks in Owerri are part of the ongoing destructive measures by the President Muhamadu Buhari-led administration to discredit and blackmail the pro-Biafra organizations to create an erroneous impression that Biafrans are waging war against Nigeria. Igboland is the most peaceful region.

“MASSOB advises Governor Hope Uzodinma to stop heaping blames on IPOB or ESN or any other pro-Biafra organization. Pro-Biafra agitators are not responsible for all the terrorist activities in Igboland.”
