The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB) has promised to join arms with the beleaguered Radio Biafra if its Director, Nnamdi Kanu isn’t released sooner.

Kanu was picked up by DSS operatives as soon as he sauntered into Lagos, Nigeria from his UK base. His offence: he’s been spewing hate and separatist ideology on air without let.
In a statement issued by its National Director of Information, Comrade Uchenna Madu, a faction of MASSOB promised “world wide demonstration and protests which will endanger the already battered image of Nigeria before the international communities and cause more diplomatic harm to Nigeria” if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu isn’t released by the state.
The statement read in part: “MASSOB Faction condemns the cowardly arrest and detention of Radio Biafra Director but also accept the fact that it is part of non violence struggle; no agitation is complete without arrest, detention & prosecution.
“It shapes the minds of the activist, drawing sympathy from the internal and external observers. It also shows that Nnamdi Kanu and Radio Biafra have become a factor of reckoning in Nigeria.
“The arrest & detention of Nnamdi Kanu by DSS will assist immensely in reviving the consciousness & sympathy for Biafra actualization in higher dimension which was temporarily halted by Ralph Uwazuruike’s deviation & lust of wealth.
“This singular arrest will cause more diplomatic harm on Nigeria’s image than good. Before Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest, he has succeeded in rooting the Biafra struggle in about 78 countries including Biafraland.
“Through Radio Biafra, International tour & secret diplomatic build up. MASSOB warns Nigeria Govt to quickly release Nnamdi Kanu now or arraign him in a competent court of justice or face an eruption of Biafra world wide demonstration, protest which will endanger the already battered image of Nigeria before the international communities and cause more diplomatic harm to Nigeria”
