According to him, “as freedom fighters, no amount of persecution and intimidation would deter the group from pursuing its core objective of actualizing the sovereign state of Biafra in the near future.”

The leader of the group further accused the police of disobeying court verdicts which had ordered the police to pay compensation of N2 million and N5 million respectively for damages against the group.

He further described the MASSOB (BIM) as a non-violent organization and wondered why the police was in the habit of disobeying court orders in favour of the group.

Contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Jude Madu denied knowledge of police seizure of MASSOB properties in the state.
