(MASSOB) has given the Nigerian military 48 hours ultimatum to release
its members supposedly held by the soldiers.
Today reports that Tony Nwodo, the regional administrator for Nnewi
south local government area gave this ultimatum in Onitsha on
Wednesday, November 4.
Nwodo threatened that Anambra would be shut down if the men supposedly
apprehended men are not released.
"We will shut down Anambra state if the five arrested members are not
released within 48 hours."
He gave the men's names as Eugene Odoh, Friday Nwoye, Sunday Amaechi,
Chuma Okonkwo and Ebuka Okolo.
H claimed that Eugene was arrested from his shop and that his money
was also stolen.
"Eugene Odoh was picked from his shop at 2, Chukwurah Street, off Awka
Road, Onitsha, this evening. They stormed his shop with six Hilux and
a Sienna buses.
"They ransacked his shop and N50,000 was missing and up till now, his
whereabouts and four others are unknown.
"These four others were picked from their homes and on the road
without committing any offence."
The pro-Biafra leader warned that MASSOB would show the military its
strength if the men are not released within the specified period.
"We will not take this if they are not released after 48 hours, we
will show the military the stuff we are made of even if we are a
nonviolent body fighting to actualize a sovereign state of Biafra."
As the quest for Biafra steps up, Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
state has dissociated southeast governors and leaders from the
pro-Biafra groups and declared support for President Buhari and the
continued existence of Nigeria.
