MASSOB: Security Agents are Killing Our Members

The leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has decried the secret killing of its members by security agents.

The group in a statement alleged that the Department of Security Services (DSS) had secretly launched a manhunt for the leaders of pro-Biafra agitators and their key members.

According to MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, the group said its intelligence unit (Biafra Intelligence Agency) uncovered the alleged planned directive passed to the DSS director-general from the Presidency.

Madu disclosed that the intelligence report also revealed that the DSS opetatives would disguise as ordinary civilians in other to easily penetrate the group with the intention of getting at the state, zonal and council leaders and coordinators for arrest.

“Even the pro-group’s leaders in diaspora and other members in exile and those seeking asylum in the diaspora are not free.

“The Federal Government is secretly working with some agents of foreign countries to arrest our members in diaspora and deport them to Nigeria for persecution and prosecution.

“Chairman/CEO of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa and her commission is the medium through which the Federal Government is executing this evil plan of forceful deportation of persecuted Biafrans.

“Following the recent extrajudicial killings of members of IPOB by security agents in Enugu, which drew massive condemnation, the DSS and police have commenced house to house search of members of pro-Biafra agitators.

“They also involved stop and search for commercial vehicles and checking of people’s phone,” the statement said.
