Chief Ralph Uwazuruike-led Biafra Independent Movement, BIM, yesterday, asked Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to continue their demonstration in line with non-violence method for Biafra actualization and for the release of its detained Director of Radio Biafra, London, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Biafra Zionist Movement, BZM, Mr. Benjamin Onwuka and all their members from South East and South South zone, who are still being captive in the custody of Nigeria’s security agencies.
Uwazurike added that he had no hands in the current travail of the detained leader of IPOB and host of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. In a statement by their Deputy Director for Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, BIM said: “We are not against IPOB protest. In fact, we will support the demonstration once it is carried out in a non-violent manner.”
BIM added that it had a credible evidence to show that one Mr. Madu collected huge amount of money from the Federal Government to cancel IPOB’s earlier protest, adding, “it is regrettable that Chief Uwazuruike, founder of the proscribed MASSOB and now leader of BIM had promoted Madu from District Officer, DO, Onitsha South Local Government Area of Anambra State to Deputy National Director for Information and to National Director on July 15, 2003 and April 30, 2005 respectively, without knowing that he is so money and power conscious with little or no interest in the Biafra struggle.
“All he needed is money and not the Biafran struggle to emancipate our people from their bondage in Nigeria. This was part of reasons he was expelled from former MASSOB on August 30, 2014. The Uwazuruike-led BIM has, therefore, cautioned the acting Director of radio Biafra, London, Mr. Uche Mefo to make sure that Madu does not take any part or represent IPOB in taking policy decision in any capacity or else he would bring IPOB to disrepute like he did to MASSOB.”
Similarly, in an interview with Vanguard in Aba, BIM’s Assistant National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, said Kanu was one of Uwazuruike boys, stressing that the Biafra leader had no reason to plan evil against him. “If Uwazuruike had a hand in the travails of the director of Radio Biafra, he would not have used every opportunity to urge the Federal Government to release the IPOB leader unconditionally and still stand by that call.”
He dismissed reports that BIM members were planning to attack IPOB members in Onitsha and other parts of the South East and South South and accused some an unnamed MASSOB leader of being behind the false information. The spokesman advised members of IPOB to be wary of the likes of Uchenna Madu, alleging that if he could betray Uwazurike, he would not spare anybody.
