Members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), on Tuesday, celebrated the release of the leader of the Indegeneous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, across Ebonyi State.

Leader of the group, Uchenna Madu said, “The bail granted to our brother today is a sign of light triumphing over the darkness. It is a motivational factor that Biafra will always triumph over Nigeria. I spent almost four years in different prisons from 2005 to 2009 which includes Suleleja, Keffi and Kuje prisons for same purpose of Biafra and was later released”

“Nnamdi Kanu and others won’t be an exceptional. He represent the interest of the people of Biafra, he is not a criminal. MASSOB commends the efforts of Igbo Governors, Some prominent and eloquent leaders like Mr. Peter Obi, Chief Nwodo (Ohaneze PG), Governor Ayo Fayose, some Igbo National Assembly members, Nzuko Umunna and other progressive persons for their unflinching efforts in compelling the Federal government to granting Nnamdi Kanu bail”

We know that freedom can never be achieved on a platter of gold”

He said MASSOB also demand for the release of other pro Biafra detainees in other prisons including those at Onitsha and Awka prisons.

“MASSOB and other pro Biafra groups including IPOB are on the ground ready to welcome and receive our brother,” Madu said.
