In defiance of efforts by the police to curb its activities
through a ban, the Movement for the Actualization of
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has vowed to
proceed with its planned rally in commemoration of the
movement’s 16th year anniversary on Sunday.
It would be recalled that the police had last week
launched a raid on members of MASSOB as
preparations picked up for today’s anniversary
celebration. The security operatives swooped on the
Freedom House headquarters of MASSOB located in
Okigwe in Imo State and took away about 200 of its
members.
MASSOB had claimed that the police from Zone 9
conducted the raid on its members, even as it raised
the alarm that it could not readily establish the
whereabouts of its leader, Chief Ralph Nwazuruike.
Addressing newsmen yesterday, the Ikwuano Regional
Administrator of MASSOB, Davidson Ohaegbu, told
newsmen in Umuahia that part of activities lined up to
celebrate its anniversary were church thanksgiving
service and peaceful rally.
