The ceasefire declared by the Movement for the Actualization of
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, to give room for a dialogue with the Federal Government appears to have hit a dead end
This comes after reports that former governor of Akwa-Ibom
State, Senator Goodswill Akpabio led a delegation accompanied by some
northern elites on behalf of MASSOB to Federal Government to broker a peace treaty.Consequently, they said they the only way they would be part of the dialogue is if detained IPOB leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu is part of it.
This came as the Chief Ralph Uwazuruike-led Biafra Independent Movement, BIM, dissociated self from any negotiation and vowed to actualize the Republic of Biafra.
Meanwhile, a coalition of human rights groups in the South-East zone cautioned the Federal Government against allowing Nnamdi Kanu to be murdered in the captivity of the Department of State Service, DSS, the way deceased leader of Boko Haram sect, Yusuf Mohammed was killed in Police custody.
Speaking on the proposed dialogue, in Enugu, yesteday, MASSOB Director of Information, Edson Samuel, said:
“We are shocked that Akpabio, who disowned MASSOB at the inception of this demonstration, led some northern leaders to broker truce on our behalf. We do not know them, neither can we identify with them because any person moving to dialogue between us and Federal Government must first meet with us and know our demands.
“This demonstration is strictly anchored by MASSOB, IPOB and Akpabio, working with his cohort, Dozie Ikedife, have shown hatred for Nnamdi Kanu. We make haste to disown them.
