The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) yesterday assured the people of the South East geo-political Zone of a hitch-free yuletide and New year celebrations hinting that machinery has been put in place to protect their lives and properties.
Speaking to Newsmen in Onitsha, Anambra State, he said, “our people that reside outside Biafra land are no longer desirous of returning home during festivity periods because of all sorts of criminal activities and social vices including kidnapping, armed robbery, raping and stealing, irrespective of heavy presence of Nigeria security agents in our land”.
“MASSOB wishes to inform Ndigbo that such wicked impression is to tarnish the industrious image of Igboman, to persuade our people to hate Biafra land and their native villages”.
He regretted the spate of violent crime in the country that included terrorism carried out by the Islamic religious sect, Boko Haram and raping, incest, arm robbery, political killing and envy in the south.
According to him, “MASSOB securities are on the ground to join other security agents in combating crimes and other social vices, in Igboland. We want our people to enjoy their stay in Biafra land during this festive period”.
“We shall work in unism with other security agents and Government agencies like F.R.S.C and Government Traffic Agencies to achieve a wholesome peaceful environment and movement of people and vehicles”.
He consequently warned criminals, touts and Area boys parading themselves as Government agencies to steer clear of public roads and places.
