The leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph
Uwazuruike has raised the alarm that Federal
Government under the incoming administration had
perfected plans to arrest him any moment from now.
Chief Uwazuruike further alleged that the incoming
administration was planning his arrest in order to keep
him in prison custody till after the swearing in on May
29.
The MASSOB leader, who made the disclosure to
newsmen in a statement shortly after the Anambra
North Zonal meeting at Awkuzu in Oyi Local
Government Area of the state, yesterday through the
group's Deputy Director for Information, Mazi Chris
Mocha, said the new administration in Imo State had
employed security agents, who would disguise as
journalists to do the job.
According to Uwazuruike, the team leader had been
instructed on what to do with him if arrested.
"I don't know why the Federal Government is always
jittery about MASSOB. The planned arrest is intended
to keep me in prison custody and possibly clamp down
on MASSOB before or after the May 29 handover.
Chief Uwazuruike said he was not afraid but such an
arrest rather than dampen his hope of victory, would
again make him stronger, focused and popular in the
struggle for freedom, stressing "it goes to show that
this non-violence method is giving the Federal
Government some sleepless nights."
He however recalled that on 25th October 2005, the
former Governor of Imo state, Chief Achike Udenwa
allegedly acting on instruction for the former President
Olusegun Obasanjo used operatives of the Department
of State Security, DSS who disguised as corps members
to arrest him, adding that this recent plot is being
planned to use security agents disguised as journalists
to arrest him.
