Ezu River corpses: Victims were our members – MASSOB

…Petitions United Nations

From EMMANUEL UZOR, Onitsha

Following the startling discovery of over 30 bodies found floating on Ezu River, the boundary between Anambra and Enugu states, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has revealed that the victims were their members arrested by security agencies in different parts of the state last year but were never released nor charged to court.

According to MASSOB Director of Information, Mr Uchenna Madu, the corpses found floating on Ezu River in Amansea community were MASSOB members, who were arrested in the state and secretly executed by the security agents without proper trial to cover their tracks.

Madu said: “MASSOB with deep sense of grief and sorrow wishes to inform Mr. Ban Ki Moon (UN Secretary General), President Goodluck Jonathan, US president, Barrack Obama, United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and Amnesty International about the gruesome murder of MASSOB members by the Special Anti Robbery Squared SARS, of Nigeria Police Force, Awkuzu Anambra State.”

He said some of the MASSOB members identified as Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwankpa, Eze Ndubisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor were arrested at the MASSOB security office Onitsha, Anambra State on November 9, 2012 by a combined team of Nigeria security agents (Army, Police and SSS) and were later handed over to SARS headquarters, Awkuzu Anambra State where they were detained until their suspicious disappearance.

“Some of our disguised members and family relations of the detained members were denied access to them. Efforts by our counsel to secure their bail from the police were futile. Our demands for their arraignment before a competent court of law were frustrated by SARS officers.

They claimed that the court was not sitting because of Christmas.” “We got information from an insider at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu that armless MASSOB members detained at SARS were secretly killed alongside other robbery suspects. Our lawyers, who confidently waited for their arraignment in January 2013 did not believe that such barbaric, primitive and wicked act could happen because, according to them, a comprehensive police reform on Human Rights was being carried out by the new Inspector General of Police.”

“We suspect that some dead bodies found at Ezu River, in Awka, Anambra State might be our members detained at SARS headquarters, Awkuzu.

We challenge the Anambra State police command to produce Basil Ogbu, Michael Ogwa, Sunday Omogo, Philip Nwamkpa, Eze Ndubuisi, Ebuka Eze, Obinna Ofor, Joseph Udoh and Uchechukwu Ejiofor detained at SARS headquarters Awkuzu or arraign them before a court of law,” he said.

He appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan, President Barrack Obama, Mr. Ban Ki Moon and human rights organizations to intervene on their behalf and save his members from more extra judicial and secret killings by security agents, adding that the organization had remained a non-violent one in the face of several aggressions.

    If this allegation is confirmed those who re responsible should be brought to Justice..How come this is Happening in the igbo Land,Could be that the enemies of ndigbo in that Station Carried Out this heinous Crime or Is it igbos killing their own.In which ever Case Uwazuruike this is a Test Case for you to get to the Root of this matter and prove Ur capability to lead this armless foot soldiers called Mossop.

    If so what a wicked act by Nigerian police force.IG should fishout those behind this act and deal with them in public otherwise there will be mass protest all over Nigeria..we have not forgotten the case of akpo six.gov. obi should act now ,l et us wait.

      @callistus, IF THIS IS TRUE, matter don pass be careful. This is no longer a case of IG fishing out anything, we know how it goes. The Igbos as a nation must rise up against this. These persons are armless & have not committed any crime to warrant slaughtering & dumping them inside the river; the non-violent agitation of Mossop as a political/pressure group is not out of place & has not at anytime constituted a present danger to lives or property. The state govs of every Ibo speaking states especially should stand up on this, every member of both the federal & state legislative assembly representing the Igbos should rise up to this.
      IF THIS IS PROVED TO BE TRUE, i tell you a time bomb has been set in place.
      Come to think of it, the devilish sars did not even consider the environmental health implications of dumping their murdered victims into the river.

    i just pray this is not true because if it is, then the igbos will be left with no option to face this country squarely and free themselves even if it remains one soul after the fight. even the niger delta militant and boko haram were never treated this way.

    If what MASSOB is claiming is found to be true then Nigeria security agencies especially the Police will have a case to answer against extra judicial killing and genocide.
    In as much as i personnaly don’nt support the cause of these MaSSOB activist,i dont think they deserved to be killed in such mannar,afterall they are even arm-less in there agitation.
    Even the Niger delta boys and boko haram boys have not been killed in such gruesome mannar despite the threat they pose as dangerous militant group.
    The FG and international human rights bodies have to intervene fast and conduct investigation and know if truely what MASsOB is claiming is true.
    If ever it is found to be truth,then a battle line has been drawn…

    I feel very sorry for this gruesome murder, Igbos are killed in North both secretly and openly as well as in their own home soil. Wonders shall never end! Worst still their dead bodies were dumped inside the river so as to get more Igbos killed. What a wicked act! If there is anywhere the Igbos should go and get justice they should do it immediately b/c as far as I am concerned, they cannot get one in Nigeria. Igbos are regarded as rebels in Nigeria, who deserve nothing but death.

    Jesus said in the scripture…. he that loses his life will find it and he that saves his life will loose it..
    It’s simply because igbos have suddenly turned to cowards who will never want to fight for thier rights and for the rights of thier loved ones and the generations, have you seen the fulanies and other northern part of nigeria even the niger delta of yesterday, and thier so-called militant group is being respected today in nigeria because they can wreck havocks despite how much special anybody might hold life, they will lay it down for thier people and fight. Ojukwu is dead and will always be remembered in igbo-land from generation to generation because i don’t see a hero like him coming up in igbo-land soon. we suddenly turn to christmas goat, easter fowls people can wake-up and kill and nothing will happen. we need to think now and do something.

    I hope u jews will not jump de gun. Wait until this allegation is proved beyond any dout that truly those corpses were de members of massob arrested by de corps. If that’s de case then u can shout to high heaven, but first allow de submit ur members’ properties to de right authority so as to allow DNA to be carried out on them. I still find this very difficult to believe that de police or any member of Nigeria security agency will be so daft to committ this kind of horrendiuos murder, yes I don’t believe it . And if I were to be proved wrong that our own Nigerian security agency committed this crime, all that took part in that unspeakable crime should be made to pay de ultimate price, afterall , we have capital punishment in Nigeria. I still think massob is trying to play a fast one on us cos why did take them so long to tell us that de bodies were those of their members arrested in November last year. Two, how did they know they there members. Has massob carried out there own independent “POST’ n DNA”, if not are they just speculating about this, n if this just a specultaion, am afraid this is going to cost de organisation more than de will ever gain. In spite of bad reputation that we Nigerians know that our police n all other security agency has, I still believe that they will never go so low to committ this murder, afterall most of de police that arrested this massob members are jews like members of massob. How would they now think they can kill them without them (police ) paying for that crime. No I don’t belive they were killed by de police n that de corpses were not members of massob. Period.

Today they even attack the prominent in the north and that sounds good i.e a nation risen against itself.

    I want to tell everybody that believes in peaceful movement to biafran independent that it can never,will never and has never happened anywhere in this world.The indian and south african case used by uwazulike as reference is baseless since the condition are not the same.
    First is india.Indian’s peaceful struggle was crowned cos,it’s anti-colonial struggle and global geopolitic of that time favored their independence.
    Secondly is South Africa.The white aparthied govt struggle with ANC(african national congress)led by mandela was never and had not been peaceful as many believed it or may like to believe.ANC,just like SPLM(Sudan people’s liberation movement)that got their independence from northern sudan as republic of south sudan only 2 years a go fought with weapons.ANC had MILITIA TRAINING CAMPS in angola and rhodasia(zimbabwe).
    What uwazulike is doing is what Dalai lama have been doing for 4 decades now trying to free his people fron China to no avail.Uwazulike must not be afraid of fight if he have to.Uwazulike have three options(1),he must devide massob into 2 distict parts,a peaceful movement and a militia wing that’s led separately by another diehard igbo.Everybody knows the mission of the wing of Massob,fight nigeria militarily and free nigeria.Uwazulike will remain a peaceful leader b4 everybody but he must be in close contact with the militia wing.That’s how john garang and nelson mandela fought,won,free their people and remain a peaceful people and even win peace prize.It doesn’t mean that mandela did not shed blood to gain freedom.
    So Uwazulike must fight or hand MASSOB leadership to a more darring youth,period.
    No oppressive nation can hear ur message of peace till u take arm.wake up ndigbo.Everynation that have successfully won an independence war have at a certain stage adopted what is called ‘heating and cooling’strategy.It’s a system where u have a peaceful and military wing that operates independently but in close touch.It’s highly effective in fighting injustice.

    kola amodu, you are singing and beating the drum to your test and you are happy because those involved are not born of woman as you were born. The Bible said that the measure you give that will also be given to you. I use to watch your comments when something affects the Igbos the way and manners you report negatively against the Igbos as if they denied you your life. Imagine your write up and i belief you will soon be visited with one or two of this evils in your direct family so as you will feel the pains and impact since you always support evil that befall to others. See The Guardian Thursday, 7, 2013, The Yoruba elders rose up accusing The PDP and Jonathan government of marginalising The Yoruba race ( zone), No Igbo man in his normal senses will kick against them because they are demanding their constitutional right. Had it been that Igbos made such demand or inrespect the above mentioned you will stupidly comment negatively against them. May i ask you, are you doing it on whose interest?
    GOD WILL JUDGE US ACCORDING TO OUR DID ESPECIALLY ACCORDING TO THE WORDS OF OUR MOUTH, SO KEEP ON.

    This might be true indeed because all the corpses are males,but why should they be dumped in a river.If this is a fact shows that MASSOB,s quest to actualize Biafra by non violent means is very cowardly and not serious. The leadership of MASSOB should by now know that its non violent approach is only endangering its unarmed members and this cowardly calling of world leaders/UN will not hold water.This is because the Nigeria Govt. does not have peaceful agitation in their dictionary,you either do what the Nigeria Govt.understands/fears or you forgo this agitation or be killed in cold blood.We are still waiting for the Police to offer press release on this bizarre issue by physically showing those alleged by MASSOB to be arrested/missing in their custody.However sooner or later someone must be held responsible for this heinous crime .MASSOB should either change tactics or wait until Nigeria collapses on its own.

    An eyes witness had testified that the corps were dumped by the policemen at about 09:26PM in the night of that terrifying day. Unfortunately, the State Police Commissioner had clumsily denied the police involvement in this ridiculous barbaric theatrics show of shame in Anambra State. The Commissioner’s denial notwithstanding, going by the (SARS) Awkuzu’s antecedents, without equivocation, they are the culprits in this Saga except if proven otherwise.

    Bro. Chris nkem are u deranged? This cos if u try n read my comment u will know that I did not insult or try to support those who are responsible for de murder of those bodies. What I said was , we should allow de proper investigation as to who those corpses are. I said I did not believe that Nigerian police or any law enforcement agency of Nigeria will be so babaric sa to commit that horrendious murder. I further said why did massob wait for almost a month before they made this claim. Are they just woken up from there slumber. I also asked how did they arrive at that claim. Have they done de corpses DNA for a fact cos if they have not this is a very serious allegation which can back fire if it turn out to be untrue. Those are my comments. I said we must not say cos of de situation of things now creat another problem where by massob will never recover from. Bro. Chris nkem, whatever u wish for me will surely be ur potion in shall Allah. So shall it be. Ur pray can not help me not to talk of ur curse.

    I’ve said it above and i’m repeating that for massob to actualise biafra,they must have an armed wing that operates independent of their non-violent wing.that is how Mandela freed south african black and that is how john garang won the independence of south sudan.non-violent struggle is meant for anti-colonial struggle not for separatist struggle that’s why Dalai lama that even won nobel prize for peace failed to free Tibet from china while mandela that have an armed wing of ANC thay was based in Angola succeeded and even won a nobel peace as well.
    Anybody that has contact with Uwazulike must remind him of all these if he happens to forget it.If he continues like this after what have just happened it’ll amount to cowardise.may the real struggle start in ernest,

    This is what Prof Chinua Achebe spoke out against in his book “There was a Country”. While our political leaders like Martin Elechi, Theo Orji, Ike Ekweremadu, Anyim P Anyim are busy sycophanting and enrinching there pockets. T̶̲̥̅̊h̶̲̥̅̊e̲̅ Igbo spirit is being continously maimed in Nigeria. Igbos have become endangered species in this country. Even Mr President who swore to defend T̶̲̥̅̊h̶̲̥̅̊e̲̅ rights of Nigerians cannot even provide justice to Nigerians. But one thing I can assure all of you is that come 2015, we’re voting you out from office. We will always support T̶̲̥̅̊h̶̲̥̅̊e̲̅ courage of Uwazurike. I salute you.

    Isreal today is being fought by the military wing of palestinian struggle(the hamas militia) and at the same time engaged in dialog by a more peaceful wing fatar al islam led by mahmoud abbas.this style of struggle is so effective cos any govt that faces it will be confused since it can’t attack a more peaceful population while struggling to know who the hell is the enemy.Infact,the more brutal the struggle,the more the oppresive govt is detested and soon,the struggle will be total cos the oppressed population will be playing the hide and seek game.before long,the world will be divided not on whether to pressure such govt to dialog,but with whom(the peaceful or militia wing)just like on the isreali/palestinian conflict.Note well that i’m pro isreali and I identify with jew,but we must learn from their war with palestinians.Isreal with it’s mighty army is forced to negociate let alone a weak Nigeria.
    I will soon make public my simulation on a computer software,the possibility of biafran independence based on my studies on the countries that parted their way.

    There is nothing wrong in breaking up a country if a particular group of people feel cheated or maltreated or because of unequal distribution of resources. The United Kingdom was formerly made up of 5 different countries i.e England, republic of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Today Republic of Ireland is a separate country remaining 4. Out of the remaining 4, Scotland wants her independence and would hold a referendum come 2014 and if they succeed they will become a separate country and that is what the first minister of Scotland Alex Salmon had been looking forward to ever since his tenure as the first minister. And the remaining 3 will continue to co-exist as the United Kingdom if they are happy. The leaders of Arewa, OPC, Mend and other militant groups have at one time or the other been invited to Aso Rock for dialogue with the Federal Government why then should armless MASSOB members be taken away from their place of meeting and access to them denied their family members by the police. And now the speculation that these men have been killed and their bodies dumped into the river why? Militants group in the Niger Delta cause havock everyday, breaking oil pipes and now they have been granted amnesty by the Federal Government. Boko haram declared ceasefire after their claimed secret meeting with Borno State government. Why then depriving a particular tribe and set of people the opportunity? Has MASSOB ever called out its members to carry gun and break up Nigeria No. Jonathan, Senate leaders should investigate this and I strongly hope the police will produce the MASSOB members in detention and prove the allegation wrong.

    If this is true, then massob has every right to adopt the violent approach. And when they do, i pledge to join them. We need a violent and armed movement that will be able to inflict harm on nigerias security agencies, just like they have been doing to our people. Massob must start procuring arms now. Because the only language nigeria understands, is violence.

Summon all the kidnappers, robbers, assassins in the east to turn their weapons against the police and army. Give us rifles, GMPG etc, let us deal with this idiots. Ask them how the soldiers and policemen were killed in Aba by one man alone(Osiskanku). They have started again, we shall reciprocate soonest. The time has come to flush out this boys from our land.

    Ibo leaders are culprits to the genocide happening to Ibo Jew. Those influencial, well to do leaders are not making any comments about secession of Biafra but they are busy putting money into their pockets. An adage says “A house that is divided against itself, can never stand” No wonder, is only you and I that are agitating for Nigeria collapse. Note, nothing concern the big man even though the Poor is dying. the only way a big man will be affected or demoralized is when calamity happen directly to his Family. I want to ask the forum one question, Why did Ojukwu abandon his people a run for his Life during the Biafran war. This tells you that, When two Elephants fight, is the grass that will suffer. ok, This present incident of killing and dumping will reveal to us the stuff the so_called IBo leaders are made of.

      @Mr oduduwa, i have to correct you here, cos you dont know what you are talking about. Ojukwu did not leave biafra because he was a coward. He left biafra as soon as he felt he has completed his mission, which was to offer protection to the biafran people until gowon and his genocidal armies came back to their sences, and live up to their responsibility of offering protection to all nigerians irrespective of their tribe or religion. We the people of eastern nigeria, understands and appreciates, what ojukwu did for us more than any other person. So you can say whatever you want to say about ojukwu. He remains our heroe forever.

    Until you are willing to die for your cause, you are not ready to win. Non violent massob seems suicidal. The 400 massob members murdered in cold blood by Obj and this most recent 30 corpses should be well documented and presented to the international community. So far so bad. The time has come for Biafra to have a violent arm. Having gained international sympathy, either of BZM or massob should transmugrify.

If it is later confirmed truth, sometin more dangerous than Boko Haram shoul d be carried out against Nigerian forces. B/c we cant fold our arms watch people reduce the population of the IGBOS, both outside and in their own territory. God forbid. Let’s keep watching.

    Nduka felix mobolaji nzu, u’re a fool if u think Ojukwu did not run away during de civil war of 67_70. If u ‘re correct, how come he fled to Ivory Coast until he was pardon by president Shagari in de 80s. U also said Ojukwu left Nigeria after he had completed jew liberation, where n how? If that’s what ur old man told u I will not insult ur old man cos it may be cos of ur old man respect for Ojukwu or maybe ur old man has shot memory, but I will blame u for believing that stupid story. Are u not educated or is ur brain shallow, that is de only explanation for ur stupid coment. Let me tell u fool something , ur hero Ojukwu did a runner when he saw better fire power from Nigerian army who were better trained n better equiped compare to that of rag targ biafran soldiers. Ojukwu ran for his life , that’s de simple truth. U don’t fight war with mouth. Always remember that.

      @Kola amodu, like i said befor, ojukwu is GODS-sent presarvator of the igbo race. And let me use this forum to remaind you that nigeria has never fought and won any war. And gowon knows that the biafrans put up a brave fight durring that war. Cos durring the biafran war, the biafrans did not fight only the nigerian government, they also fought against Britain, Libya, Russia, Egypt, Morocco, and the whole Countries that made up the UAE, who saw the war as an opportunity to carry out their Islamic expansion idea. And ojukwu knew he had to leave biafra cos if he had stayed back and may be killed. The peace process may never have been possible. Ojukwu was convinced by the international communities, to leave biafra cos his presence in biafra gave the biafran combatants the moral to keep on fighting. And if he had stayed back the biafran soldiers would never had surrendered. And let me use this opportunity to remaind you that durring the war, there was no single nigerian army officer who was able to fly a fighter jet. As a result of illiteracy. This was the reason durring the war gowon had to employ Egyptian jet fighters to come and bomb biafra. But the biafrans who were more educated, were able to produce the great and famous obunigwe, rifles, and bomber jets. We were even able to refine fuel easily with our own technology. While even today nigeria still finds it had to refine her crude oil. All this and more, was why ojukwu was more honoured than any other nigerian, dead or Alive. I will forever remain proud for being an igbo man.
