The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, has called on Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, to free some
Igbo traders unlawfully detained in the State since December, 2016.
The group made the demand in a statement in Awka, Anambra State
capital on Sunday, by MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Samuel
Edeson.
According to MASSOB, as a friend of Biafra and the masses, it was not
expected that the victims would suffer such fate in a state ruled by
the governor.
They also pointed out that since December 2016, the victims had not been arraigned before any court.
MASSOB further gave some of the names of the detainees as: David
Reuben, Onyemechi Nwanneka , Christopher Godwin, David Chukwu , Sunday
Agbo, Sunday Mgbiri, Chisoba Obiekwe and Nwobodo James.
According to the group, “We want to bring to the attention of his
Excellency , Governor Fayose of Ekiti State about the unlawful arrest
and detention of some Igbo traders doing their legitimate businesses
around Post Office, Ado Ekiti since Dec, 2016 by the agents of the state
government task force.
“MASSOB is worried that since last year December, they have not been arraigned before any court or allowed medical attention.
”Every efforts to secure their release are being frustrated by Ekiti
state security agents. These men are breadwinners of their respective
families.
