We have evidence Buhari's govt is sponsoring Imo attacks - MASSOB

The Federal Government has been accused of sponsoring the attacks on Imo Police Headquarters and Correctional Centreon Monday, April 5, 2021.

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, made this accusation in a statement released on Tuesday.

MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu alleged that the attacks were staged by the President Muhammadu Buhari's government to defame pro-Biafra groups

“Through MASSOB intelligence agency, we found out that all these attacks are being sponsored and executed by Federal Government of Nigeria through their protected militiamen called bandits and unknown gunmen.

“Their primary aim is to discredit non- violence pro Biafra freedom fighters like MASSOB and IPOB.

“They want to create an erroneous impression that pro Biafra agitators have turned violent and militancy.

“How can untrained and amateurs with no military training overpower the entire security apparatus of Nigeria in South East?

“Why is it that there was no security resistance during the breaking up of Owerri prisons and Imo State police headquarters in an operation that lasted more than one hour?”

The group advised Governor Hope Uzodinma pf Imo State to desist from heaping blames on IPOB or ESN or any other pro- Biafra organization.

“The Federal Government is plotting to militralise the entire Biafra land in disguise of searching for pro-Biafra agitators.

“They are planning to intimidate and inflict fear on our people to frustrate Ndigbo from clamouring for 2023 presidency,” the group further alleged.
