WARNING For Boko Haram As Hundreds Of Suspects Were Arrested In Abia State...We Will Destroy Nigeria-- MASSOB

 

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has said they will bring down Nigeria should there be any bomb explosion in any part of the Southeast.

Apparently reacting to the discovery of two deadly improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at the

Living Faith church in Owerri by the Imo state police, the Biafra group threatened to retaliate if terrorists came close to their zone.

Daily Trust reports that the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, warned that they will no longer tolerate the mindless killing of Ndigbo in any part of the country, especially in the Southeast.

Uwazurike said, "The position of MASSOB on this matter is firm, we will bring down Nigeria if any bomb goes off in the Southeast."

He insisted that the movement will not hesitate in fighting back the terrorist with equal and decisive force if they attack any part of Igboland.

In May, MASSOB had called on Ndigbos who reside in the northeastern part of the country to come back home following the incessant attacks by Boko Haram in that region.

No fewer than 36 Igbo traders were said to have lost their lives in the deadly twin explosion at Jos Terminus Market, Plateau State in May. 

Meanwhile, 486 suspects of the boko haram sect have been arrested in Abia state. soldiers of the 144 battalion of the Nigerian Army, Asa, Ukwa West Local Government Area, carried out the arrest along the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway.

 

Boko Haram suspects arrested in Abia State 

It was provided that 33 buses conveying 486 people were stopped, while some more buses sped off and managed to drive away. Those detained are believed to be Boko Haram militants, however military are yet to establish a link between them and the sect. The people pleaded not guilty saying they had come from the country north in search for jobs.

Confirming the information to the journalists the battalion commander Lt. Colonel Rasheed Omolori said 2 buses escaped adding that the incident was reported to defence headquarters located in Abuja. No other details were provided by the military official.

The commissioner for information and strategy, Dr. Eze Chikamnayo, who also attended the briefing, wondered why such a "long convoy" had not been stopped before reaching Abia and considered the sheer size of the movement suspicious. 

Military and state officials claimed that the investigation into the arrest had started.

It would be recalled that the yesterday's rumour said that the insurgents had planted explosives in trailers in Aba city of the state, which IEDs were discovered by local vigilantes. This caused panic among the residents that Boko Haram violence might have spread to the country south.
