The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) yesterday said the arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will not stop the separatist agitation.

Its leader, Uchenna Madu, condemned the arrest of the IPOB leader and urged the Federal Government to handle him with care.

He said in a statement that Kanu and the activities of secessionist agitators do not pose any danger to Nigeria’s existence.

According to him, the activities of terrorists in the guise of herdsmen pose a bigger threat.

The statement reads in part: “Mazi Kanu has proven to be a loved figurehead in championing the self-determination struggle for the actualisation and restoration of Biafra.

“Freedom can never be achieved on a platter of gold. Biafra revolutionary struggle for actualisation and restoration can never be deterred or fluctuated because of Nnamdi Kanu’s current ordeals in the hands of our oppressive enemy…

“Biafra agitation is only a reaction to the many injustices, exclusion, second class citizenship, born to rule philosophy, marginalisation and other forms of inequality that characterise the Nigerian state.

“Nigeria is a state where some are first-class citizens while others are second class; a state where some are born to rule, while others are perpetual outcasts; a state where state policy deliberately denies us critical developmental infrastructure.”
