CONFUSSION: MASSOB DISOWNS NNAMDI KANU

There was confusion on Monday, as leader of the
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State
of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike,
disclosed that the Director of Radio Biafra and
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),
Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested on Saturday, by
the Department of State Services (DSS), does not
belong to the movement.
Uwazuruike, who spoke through his Assistant
Director of Information, Sunday Okereafor, in
Owerri, the Imo State capital, described Kanu as a

rebel who had long been expelled by MASSOB for
inciting violence among members.
“Kanu’s arrest has nothing to do with the struggle
for a sovereign state of Biafra,” the MASSOB
leader stated.
He added that Kanu broke the group’s non-
violence approach and was summarily dismissed.
Uwazuruike, however, dismissed the allegation
that MASSOB was behind the arrest of the Biafra
Radio boss, adding that the movement cannot
meddle into such unnecessary matters.
Meanwhile, a faction of MASSOB had condemned
the arrest, insisting that it could cause the country
“diplomatic damage.” source : vanguard news
