The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has declared full support for the call for civil disobedience against the Nigeria State for the release of the leader of the Indigeneous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a press release signed by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, and sent to DAILY POST, on Tuesday night, MASSOB asked the Federal Government of Nigeria to produce Kanu physically in court on Thursday, stating that any form of his absence physically in court will be a proof of evidence that the IPOB leader had been killed in DSS detention.
Recall that Justice Binta Nyako had fixed October 21, 2021, for the continuation of hearing in the treasonable felony charges preferred against Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government following the failure of the Department of State Service (DSS) to produce the successionist leader before the court on 26th day of July, 2021.
Kanu was rearrested at Kenya in a combined team operation between foreign security intelligence outfit and the Nigeria government and was extradited to the country to continue his trial, after he fled Nigeria following a military attack, during the operation codenamed ‘Python Dance,’ on his home at Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia.
But MASSOB in the release further hinted that it would engage positively in every steps, programs and activities that will effect the release of Kanu in the spirit of collaboration and for the sake of the Biafra struggle.
According to the pro-biafra group “we support other moves that draw Biafra closer to actualization. We shall continue to collaborate and partner with every positive move and steps that will effect the release of our other comrades in different Nigeria prisons mostly in Awka and Onitsha detention camp.
“The call for stay at home on Thursday, 21st October, 2021 which has been our recalling measure and steps for effective civil disobedience is totally voluntarily, this exercise has always been the life wire of the Biafran struggle which boomed the potency and acceptability of the Biafra struggle.
“The request for closure of markets, public/private motor parks, schools and other republic business premises are voluntarily, not by force, it is a mark of respect and love for our fatherland and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
