The leader of the Movement for the Actualization
of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, on Monday
disclosed that the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested on
Sunday by the Department of State Security (DSS), does not belong to the
movement.
Uwazuruike, who spoke
through his Assistant Director of information, Mr. Sunday Okereafor, in
Owerri, Imo State, 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 continued that Kanu
broke the group 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 unnecessary matter.
Meanwhile, a faction of MASSOB had condemned the arrest, insisting that
it could cause the country “diplomatic damage.”
