Come back home, MASSOB urges Igbo in North

From DOM EKPUNOBI Onitsha
As Boko Haram insurgents continue to massacre innocent Nigerians in the North Eastern part of the country, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB) has advised Igbo resident in the troubled states of the North to come down home in their own interest.


The MASSOB National Red Cross Chairman, Osondu Okwaraeke, who issued the warning yesterday in Onitsha, said that those staying behind were doing so at their own peril.

The call was sequel to continued killings in some Northern states especially in Borno state, where more than 200 school girls were abducted by Boko Haram insurgents.

Okwaraeke said that prior to the heightening of the killings, the national leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, had issued similar directive for those in the troubled areas to return home and even provided logistics for their evacuation.

The MASSOB Red Cross chairman commended Chief  Uwazurike for his concern for the welfare of the Igbo and recalling that during the flood in some parts of the country, the MASSOB leader provided drugs and other materials, including food to the victims.

He appealed to the United Nations, the Catholic Pontiff, Israel and other world leaders to come to the rescue of MASSOB help actualize Biafra Republic” for the safety of the Igbo.
