Police authorities in Anambra State, have release seven members of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra—MASSOB, who were arrested last week when their office was raided.
Some of the agitators arrested by the police include Rev. Fr. Samuel Aniebonem, 87-year-old, Chief Sylvester Dinyelu, and five others.
Their release was confirmed by the Director of Information and Senior Special Adviser to BIM-MASSOB on Media and Publicity, Mazi Chris Mocha, in a statement made available to newsmen in Awka on Sunday.
Part of the statement reads, “While it is a right for the oppressed peoples to agitate for independence, the peaceful method has remained the only panacea for the achievement of the self-determination for Biafra.”
He urged their members to remain consistent, resolute and steadfast by following Uwazuruike’s footsteps, which according to him, was the only way through which the state of Biafra could be achieved.
