MASSOB accuses Igbo leaders of betrayal, threatens revolution

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra , on Sunday, threatened an ‘internal native’ revolution against political, traditional, religious and opinion leaders in Igboland.

MASSOB, which spoke in a statement signed by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said Igbo leaders are ‘insensitive’ to the plight of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, and other detained pro-Biafra activists.

Noting that the pro-Biafra agitators are ‘working’ for the Igbos, the MASSOB leader wondered why Igbo leaders, including those in government, have not spoken out against the continued incarceration of Kanu and other activists.
