MASSOB (Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra) has called on Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu. This plea was made at the 56th anniversary held on Tuesday, May 30, to celebrate the past leaders of the movement. General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (the former President of the Republic of Biafra) declared the day.
In a statement on Tuesday, the leader of MASSOB reflected on the brutalization and killings of soldiers of Biafra in the quest for freedom of the Biafran people.
“Today, we remembered, celebrated, and commemorated the sacrifices our gallant soldiers of Biafra made for our freedom. MASSOB remembered the pains, anguish, hunger, subjections, mesmerization, and supreme prices our fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters paid for Biafra’s freedom.
“We shall continue to remember them because their sufferings always provoke and revive our unshakeable and undeterred zeal and commitment to the self-determination of Biafra.
“The new struggle for self-determination and the restoration of Biafra, anchored by MASSOB and others, is grounded on the principle of non-violence.
“Today, all over the world, MASSOB members are engaging in sober reflection as we remember the brutalities, persecutions, mesmerization, traumatic torture, extrajudicial killings, afflictions, imprisonment, and traumatic deaths at the hands of the security agents of Nigeria.
“The more the freedom fighters are politically incarcerated, the more they are hardened, and the more the followers become uncontrollable.
“MASSOB demands the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, from President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria.
“MASSOB expresses its gratitude to the people of Biafra for their eloquent observation of today’s Biafra Day anniversary celebration.” the statement reads.
