MASSOB Gives Igbo Residents In The North ‘Last Warning’ To Return Home

The leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, yester­day gave what he called final warning to all Igbo sons and daughters resident in the northern part of Nige­ria to leave the zone or face dire consequences.

Uwazuruike, who gave the warn­ing in Okwe near Okigwe, Imo State, after an emergency meeting with leadership of the movement, said the direc­tive became imperative to avoid further loss of Igbo lives in the North due to the increasing bloodletting by Boko Ha­ram insurgents.

The MASSOB leader said it did not require a prophet for any Igbo man or woman to know that Nigerian security forces could no longer guaran­tee their safety since the insur­gents had not relented in their wicked bloodletting activities. He said anybody who disre­garded his last warning would face the consequences.

Uwazuruike said that every Igbo man and daughter came from a community in the South-East, therefore, it would be better for them to die among their kith and kin than to be killed by Boko Ha­ram in the North.

He restated the commitment of MASSOB to actualise the sovereign state of Biafra through non-violence, saying the movement would not be cowed to silence.
