The Nigeria Police Force has begun a manhunt for the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and Chief Innocent Ogbuawa over allegations of their involvement in serial kidnappings in the South-East.
The MASSOB leader had on Tuesday in his Okwe country home in Imo State announced September 13 this year as the date for the launch of the international passport for the United States of Biafra.
This came as the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro yesterday in Abuja paraded one Mr. Innocent Orji alias “B Stone General”, who claimed that the MASSOB leader and an industrialist, Chief Ogbuawa provided them with funds and had their blessings to kidnap prominent people in order to raise funds for their operations.
Orji told journalists that “I am making this self confession because my conscience has judged me. I am not worthy to live again on this earth. I have offended God and man and this country but I want government to temper justice with mercy”.
According to him, it was Chief Uwazuruike who allegedly appointed and made him the commander of a militant group in MASSOB who have been charged with the responsibility to prepare for a “military parade” for the burial of some MASSOB members who fell by police bullets during the mounting of the “Biafran” flag at Okwe in Imo State.
He said that it was while on this assignment in which one serving soldier whose name was given as Chukwuebuka Ike-Nwachukwu trained them in military parade and tactics, that they kidnapped Chief Ogbuawa, who gave them names and particulars of several prominent Nnewi citizens who should be kidnapped so that they could make money for their upkeep.
“Our men had collected one million naira as assistance from Chief Ogbuawa but when we discovered that what he gave was not N400,000.00, which was what Ejiofor, our Chief of Operations handed over to us, we decided to kidnap Chief Ogbuawa to seek clarifications.
“After we arrested him and he (Ogbuawa) confirmed he gave us one million naira, we told him we shall not release him until he had given us N200 million but he promised to give us N20 million.
“In addition, he gave us the names and particulars of several prominent Nnewi citizens and said we should arrest them. Among those he gave us their names are Innnoson Group, Cutix Cables and Capital Oil. He said if we arrest them, they will give us huge sums of money.
“After we concluded arrangements for their kidnap, we first swooped on Innoson but unfortunately, he was not there. So, we took away two Chinese working for him and his manager, who is popularly called “Isi Ocha”. For this, we got N10 million from him, though we refused to release the two Chinese.
“It was just this year that the police and the military discovered our hideout in Ekoli Edda in Afikpo South local government area of Ebonyi state, raided us and while we ran into the jungle to evade their arrest, one of the Chinese, Feng Shenyi died of cold. The other one was rescued by the police and the military after a brief but hot gun duel.

Here we go again!
Everyone knows that you cannot trust the confession of any one that was in the custody of the Nigerian Police or SSS.
This is just a ploy to divert attention from the issues at hand to something else.
I guess this will be followed by another offer of Amnesty.
Chief Uwazuruike is not even afraid of these fools. Let them bring it on!

It is quite unfortunate how this coward is saying all these nonsense. If you know that you cannot carry the cross of Biafra then why forcing yourself on it? MEND started it and their still on it without any betrayal. But here we are witnessing a first hand betrayal on Biafra course.

The fools among us have started once again to show the sturf thier fathers are made of. It is not supprising to hear of such confessions, afterall he is an Ibo cursed with money. We are working hard to put our house in order, very soon house cleaning will start and whosoever that is not with us definitely is against us. Nigeria and its armies cannot save the enemies in the house.

lord Uwazurike is the likes of lord Emeka Ojukwu. Those who have died, or have escaped unneccessary death, and are still alive for human course are seen as lords. The money mongering people, are the worms to be eaten people: as the money mongering people eat the money that emanates from sabbotage, the worms substitute such money in their all living, so they decay as they eat. A fight that have taken up blood of people have gone spiritual, so it is spiritual consciousness that awake the likes of lord uwazurike and lord Emeka. I reserve capital L for Lord Jesus Christ. I wish we can have our way, Biafra would be an example for development for the African nations. A certain king in the bible was asked to leave the isrealites to go free, and he cried, “if I let the Isrealites go, my country will fall down.” But we promise the Niggarians that we would remain a wonderful friends, a wonderful inlaws, and a respect to their soverignty, except they come with tactics to bribe our Biafrans to ensume sabboteurs, wars among one another, which is never known with the igbo characters. My Igbo people remember old norm when everybody in a family, cities must come home to embrace sisters, brothers, relatives, and others we have long left for a distant journey. The Igbos lived, and has living instint of the wise bees. The wisdom of the bees( the name biafra makes meaning with the life of the bees: you could be bitten if you try the bees’ honey)still makes us what we are in money making, and in all ramifications of life. Biafra their much moe about you that makes us proud when we remember what runs in our blood, the trace of this great human aura in us, is still unknown.

I wish you can see the way I see: The passport agenda has prompted for a coup or startegy to clamp it down. The “I-can-do-anything for oneness of nigeria” (or call them agents with Igbo names or theý use Okoro, and some most prominent names of the Igbos) are on the move with money watering accounts to stage a bad image for the biafrans against the proposed passport. The would stage it the way that the international communites would nearly believe them, but they are not so fast because only a night Obama’s thinking is equal to all their thinking, when collected in a year. God is wonderful, the world is´not sleeping! Nigeria is a quantity and not quality: Libya expects Nigeria government to beg because they have calimed too much f the saying that thy are the giant of africa. and forgetting that there are some little wild animals that can eat up the big ones. If Biafra were to be an arab regions in nigeria, we would have gotten the end and success of our fight, not because our God is not there for us, but because they worship and believe in brotherhood, and support to its dominance. Biafra is a christian nation any other is a counterfeit.
