*Insists Biafra ll’be achieved without firing a gunshot 

The Movement for the Actualisation of of Sovereign State of Biafra/Biafra Independence Movement (MASSOB/BIM) has lauded the Anambra State Police Command for the “early release” of their detained members in the State.

Mazi Chris Mocha Anierobi, Director of information of MASSOB/BIM said in a statement made available on Sunday that “efforts of the Anambra Police have  been lauded by the leadership of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM and Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, for  what the group described as understanding the different methods  between us  and other Pro-Biafra agitating groups. 

“This is even as the group’s Spokesperson repeatedly assured  the public that in its quest for Biafran independence, no gunshot will be fired.

Briefing Journalists on Saturday, Mazi Chris Mocha Anierobi, Director of information, appreciated  efforts of the Police in Anambra, said: “Police personnel in the State had for the first time shown and demonstrated a high level of professionalism  in the manner with which they handled the case of its non-violent members.

“The Force, Mocha stated  that though arrest, detention, and sometimes death is the beauty and sweetness of any struggle for independence, the agitation for Biafra  will  come to an end  only if the United Nations recognize Biafra’s Sovereignty.

“The statement  urged other Police Commands particularly  Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Abia States where some of Uwazuruike led BIM-MASSOB members are still being held  for alleged membership of Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB,  to do the needful by releasing them.

BIM-MASSOB had last week accused the Police in South East states of indiscriminate arrests and extortion of its members particularly in Enugu, Ebonyi, and Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Aside the Police, MASSOB  equally commended the Media houses and  its Lead Counsel for Anambra , Dr. Destiny Nnagbo who secured their release,  a  clear demonstration that our members have carried out their agitation for Biafra in a  most civilized manner without hiding or  hurting  any people.

“The early Police release of the members of  BIM- MASSOB  from  custody in Anambra has made a  difference between us and other   Pro-Biafra groups’, Mocha added.

“Mocha  insisted that their  members are peaceful members of a  harmless organization, promising that, “In  our genuine  quest to actualize  a  Sovereign State of Biafra, no  single gunshot will be fired.”
