Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State Biafra (MASSOB) under the leadership of Comrade Uchenna Madu has condemned the use of fighter jets to bombard some locations in Anambra and Imo communities.
According to the pro-Biafran organisation, the ongoing action which it described as a guise to decimate Igbo people under the guise of fighting unknown gunmen will not stop the agitations.
In a Press Statement signed by Comrade Edeson Samuel, the group’s National Director of Information, MASSOB said it views move as hypocritical and another dimension of political ethnic cleansing of Ndigbo by the Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC illegal administration.
The statement Read in part “Ndigbo are not surprised that Bola Ahmed TInubu have reawakened and follows the footstep of his predecessor and master, General Mohammadu Buhari by making sure that Ndigbo and Igbo land will become irrelevant in this geographical entity called Nigeria.
“This is a clear evidence and true manifestation of pathological hatred and jealousy against Igbo nation by the Arewa and Oduduwa people.
“MASSOB observes that the biased Federal government of Nigeria have entered into negotiation with the Northern Nigeria based Islamic terrorist bandits groups.
“These are well known and globally recognized terrorist groups that have, raped, kidnapped and committed open and brazen genocide against Christian communities and villages in northern regions of Nigeria.
They have destroyed many homes and displaced the inhabitants of the native lands in their quest for Islamic religious occupation, still the Nigeria government is negotiating with them instead of gating them arrested .
“Though MASSOB do not support any form of criminality or violent agitation, we also do not support the use of military jet fighters to bombard and destroy Igbo land.
“Bombing the so called hideouts of the unknown gunmen will never yeild any positive result, you can never get peace by bombing or killing the people.
“MASSOB reiterate our demand for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because his release will douse security tension in Igbo land.
“MASSOB wishes to remind the Nigeria state that a self determination ideology hatched can never be abandoned irrespective of the pressures from the opressor.
“No amount of military bombardment of villages and communities in Igbo land can stop Biafra actualization and restoration because God, History and Humanity are on our side. Biafra Revolution is indestructible”, the statement concluded.
