IPOB Not Responsible For Killings In South East—MASSOB

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB), Wednesday, condemned the spate of killings and political witch-hunting in Anambra state, as well as other Southeast states.

MASSOB, in a statement made available to THE WHISTLER, described the acts as unnecessary, adding that they are ‘grievously magneting more destructive calamities in Igbo land’.

The statement, signed by Comrade Edeson Samuel, MASSOB’s national director of information, warned ‘perpetrators of these violence and criminal acts of the dire consequences of turning Igbo land to security tensions’.

It read, “MASSOB also advised those using the name of IPOB to cause havoc in Igbo land to stay away from entire Biafra land or face the wrath of Ndigbo and MASSOB.

“It is clear that our enemies are using the name of IPOB and Biafra to destroy Igbo land. There are no any genuine Biafra agitators, including IPOB, that will ever get involved in criminal activities.

“MASSOB security intelligence report shows that the federal government sponsored Fulani terrorist herdsmen are responsible for the destructions of property, stealing, and kidnapping in the name of enforcing sit-at-home order.

“These hoodlums who went about setting vehicles ablaze, killing and destroying the economy of Ndigbo are nothing but criminals being sponsored and backed by the Fulani cabals to destroy Igbo land but they will never succeed.

“MASSOB urge Igbo leaders to stop blaming IPOB and other pro-Biafra agitators as the perpetrators of the criminal acts.

“MASSOB assures the sponsors and perpetrators of these violent and criminal activities in Igbo land that they will never succeed in destroying Igbo land because MASSOB and other Pro Biafra groups will always protect Biafra land.”
