Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of Biafra (MASSOB) Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, yesterday apologised to people of the South-east and northerners living in the region over the recent killings and burning of mosque.
Protest by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) last week, led to killing of about five people and destruction of property in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Addressing newsmen in Owerri, Imo State, Uwazuruike disassociated members of MASSOB from the protest.
He said the group was against violence and that it was the first to speak about Biafra. Uwazuruike described the protest in the zone as politically motivated, adding that those involved “were expelled
from the group because of their reckless action and dubious character”.
He said: “We are apologizing to people of the South-east and Hausas in the region, who were affected by the protest. What they have done is violent and may even endanger the lives of many Igbos in the North”.
Uwazuruike added, “During the protest, shops were closed down and houses were burnt. That behaviour has even caused people to dislike the struggle”.
He flayed Nnamdi Kanu, for using the Biafra radio station to preach hate messages against the Nigerian government.
“Why must heaven fall because Nnamdi Kanu was arrested? What happened to Benjamin Oneuka who has been in prison because of Biafra?” he said.
He also tackled the Department of Security Service for “refusing to release the Nnamdi Kanu after the Federal High Court granted him bail”.

ReplyDeleteWhy should Uwazuruike apologies to the North, for many years now the North has been causing fight in this country, they have killed many igbos and still killing more, we the igbos need to also fight them back so that they will understand that they are not the only people that can fight, Enugu has a town called Awgu local government area, the means of Awgu is fight, we have so many people who that also fight more than the northern but we are respecting our selves because of the way we unite our selves, but now they are pushing is to the war and that war will come again and they will then understand that there are angry youth. I want to use this media to tell the northern youths to be carefully because we are preperring for this war if they don't stop and for the president, I rest my case because Abacha was worse than this and you see the way he ended up. So Uwazuruike go and sleep we have reverse the apology:
ReplyDeleteTHE BIAFRANS ARE VERY CONFUSED AND I KNOW VERY SOON THEY WILL START KILLING THEMSELF THEY SAY EVIL THAT MEN DO LEAVE WITH THEM AND AFTER THEM.
