The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has declares that it will not give up its struggle for the actualization of Biafra, saying self-determination struggle would continue through principals of non-violence.
This was contained in a statement signed by leader of MASSOB Comrade Uchenna Madu and made available to newsmen.
Madu alleged that non-violent MASSOB members died innocently with brave hearts for the Biafra cause.
“Today, as we celebrate our 24 years anniversary of MASSOB formation on September 13, 1999, we remember our brothers & sisters whose lives were cut short because of Biafra in the hands of Nigeria security agents”.
“They were molested, mesmerized, humiliated, and brutally killed by the armed security agents of our oppressors.
“Today, the remnants of MASSOB activists also remember the parents of our fallen heroes, some are still traumatized, some are dead because of shock while others are living ghosts of themselves.
“We are committedly, consistently and uncompromisingly agitating for an independent state of Biafra from Nigeria,” he added.
Madu stated that Biafra “is the answer to the numerous subjective slavery Nigeria subjected Ndi Igbo into, ranging from political, economical, academic, religious, cultural and social slavery.
“Today in Nigeria, true nationhood has remained stillborn. Peace, justice and equity has remained elusive to Nigeria which still remains in perpetual strife and increasing crises since her independence.
“These undeniable realities are the reasons the Nigerian State is afraid of Biafra which represents the truth they cannot legitimately counter.
“Biafra speaks of the truth Nigeria knows they are guilty of, so out of weakness, jittery and fear, Nigeria resorts to repressions, persecutions, killings and detention of Biafran agitators.”
“MASSOB has resolved that 24 years of our long walk to freedom can never be jeopardized, compromised or corrupted,” he added.
