On Wednesday the leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra, MASSOB, warned that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, must not die in detention by the Department of State Service, DSS.
MASSOB warned that there would be war in Nigeria if Kanu dies in DSS detention, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari will not be forgiven if anything happens to him.
Uchenna Madu, leader of MASSOB, advised the Federal Government to allow personal physicians to have immediate access to Kanu for medical attention in DSS detention because of the deteriorating nature of his health.
A statement by Madu reads: “Well-meaning Nigerians and Human Rights Organizations have called the federal government to harken to our calls for the medical treatment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“The people of Biafra will never forgive President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu dies in DSS detention. It will trigger war but Nigeria state will not contend it.
“MASSOB condemned the insensitivity and carelessness of the federal government on the deteriorating health of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“MASSOB reminds President Muhammadu Buhari that his sadistic and pathological hatred of the people of Biafra can never stop the actualization and restoration of Biafra as an independent state from Nigeria.
“MASSOB reminds the people of Biafra that irrespective of the persecutions, mesmerization, killings, detentions and maiming of our people by President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government, we can never derail or succumb.
“We must remain unshakable, and unstoppable with a renewed determination for Biafra actualization and restoration.”
