Chief Ralph Uwazuruike
The leadership of Biafra Independence Movement and Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (BIM-MASSOB) has condemned in strong terms, the police summons extended to their leader, Barr. Uwazuruike, and warned that no harm should be done to their leader.
A statement circulated online on Sunday and e-signed by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity and Director of Information to the organization, Mazi Chris Mocha said it was against democratic principles and a violation of their leader’s fundamental human rights.
The pro-Biafra groups insisted that their leader Uwazuruike had never committed any offence by volunteering to join a nationwide peaceful protest for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The police summons, according to the statement, was a ploy to arrest and possibly detain their leader, Uwazuruike.
Recall that Uwazuruike had during the weekend reportedly dragged the Imo State Police Command, and others to Owerri High Court to enforce his fundamental human rights.
MASSOB described its leader, Ralph Uwazuruike Esq, as a peaceful man who leads a peaceful organization in Nigeria for the past 26 years and has demostrated his penchant for peaceful dialogue and respect for the rule of law while advocating for the self-determination for Biafra.
