The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra yesterday marked its 17th anniversary with a renewed commitment to a violence-free actualization of the Biafra Republic.
In a statement issued in Awka, Anambra State, MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said the Biafra agitators would seize the occasion to remember those who lost their lives in the course of the struggle.
“As we celebrate 17 years anniversary of the formation of MASSOB today, we remember our brothers and sisters whose lives were cut shot because of Biafra in the hands of security agents. We remember our non-violent MASSOB members who died innocently and with brave hearts for the Biafran cause. They were molested, mesmerized, humiliated and brutally killed by armed security agents of our oppressors.
“MASSOB has resolved that 17 years of the long walk to freedom can never be jeopardized, compromised or corrupted,” he added.
Meanwhile, 14 agitators celebrating the 17th anniversary of MASSOB were yesterday arrested by the police in Onitsha, Anambra State.
Police spokesman, Nkeiru Nwode, said they were arrested for conducts likely to cause the breach of peace.
