Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has called on governors of the Southeast states to engage pressure groups to build a synergy against further attacks in the zone.

According to MASSOB, Igbo leaders and others would also be involved in the synergy.

The group’s reaction followed the massacre in Orlu, Imo State, where 10 persons allegedly died in a clash between the military and suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)

A statement on Tuesday by MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, said the crisis could be described as a childish play because Aba, Onitsha, Nsukka and Okigwe may soon catch fire.

It reads: “Miyeti Allah, terrorist herdsmen and cabals in the presidency and President Muhammadu Buhari have succeeded in destroying Nigeria.

“The Orlu incident is not different from the Okigwe massacre of 2003 or Onitsha crises of 2004, 2006 and Nkpor killings. Asaba, Obigbo, Aba, Umuahia, Okigwe, Owerri, Enugu, Abakiliki, Nsukka and Oji River have witnessed different dimensions of the revolutionary heat.

“The current war-like situation in Orlu province of Biafra, between the forces of Biafra and Nigeria, have once again exposed the Federal Government’s partiality against the people of Biafra.

“The Army is always eager and ever-ready to clampdown on pro-Biafra agitators, but always keep mum and inactive on the criminal and terrorist activities of herdsmen in Western, Eastern and Middle Belt regions.”
