The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has described the call for the arrest Igbo leaders as an attack against the Igbo nation.
The the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) had called for the arrest of the Igbo leaders led by a minister in the first republic, Chief Mbazulike Amechi, who visited President Muhammadu Buhari , requesting for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the IPOB.
A statement signed by the National Director of Information, MASSOB Comrade Edeaon Samuel, on Wednesday, described the CNG’s statement as parasitic, unpatriotic, insensitive and unguarded.
MASSOB said the CNG deserves to be punished alleging that the Northern group is “working for northern-based Islamic terrorist organisations including Fulani herdsmen, Fulani bandits, Boko Haram, ISWAP and President Muhammed Buhari-led Federal Government.”
The statement read in part;
“The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of condemned the Coalition of Northern Group and their sponsors on their unguarded and stupid statements against Chief Mbazuruike Amaechi-led Igbo patriotic leaders that visited Major General Mohammadu Buhari in Aso Villa for an interface meeting concerning the detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and agitation clamours for an independent state of Biafra.
“MASSOB views this attack on honorable Igbo leaders as an attack against the Igbo nation. Though the statements of CNG are unpatriotic, parasitic and insensitive, they will never go unpunished.
“MASSOB will always see CNG as a bunch of cowards, charlatans and street boys that is always at the service of Fulani northern oligarchy and their mission of enthroning Islamic fundamentalism in Nigeria.
“They are working for northern-based Islamic terrorist organisations including Fulani herdsmen, Fulani bandits, Boko Haram, ISWAP and President Muhammed Buhari-led Federal Government.”
“The Suleiman Abdul led CNG has failed to call for the arrest of Sheik Gummi who has been negotiating, dining and speaking for terrorist criminals and bandits that are killing, kidnapping and causing genocide in northern Nigeria.
