Ralph Uwazuruike, the leader of the Movement for Actualisation Sovereign State of Biafra, insists that the activities of MASSOB cannot be stopped by any policeman, poltiician or soldier.
Uwazuruike, stated that MASSOB has a right to exist because of the United Nations charter on indigenous peoples right to self-determination.
Speaking through MASSOB’s deputy national director for Information, Mazi Chris Mocha- he said:“The UN General Assembly had on Thursday, September 13, 2007, whilst Uwauruike was in detention in Kefi prison in Nassarawa State, adopted a resolution that called for the recognition of the world’s 370 million people’s rights to self-determination and control over their lands and resources.
“There comes a time, when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression as is the case in Nigeria.
The only option for such indigenous people would be to take their destiny into their own hands.
“MASSOB is using non-violence approach and nobody, not even the Inspector General Police, Mr. Arase, can ban MASSOB in any part of Nigeria. So, let no policeman, soldier, politician or any person try to intimidate us.
It is our inalienable right. Anything to the contrary by the police is a state rumour and absurd.”
