"We Will Bring Down Nigeria If Boko Haram Attacks Igboland" - MASSOB

 
The Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has threatened to “bring down” Nigeria should any part of the Southeast be bombed. And this is coming days after bombs were discovered at Winners' Chapel church in Owerri and alleged Boko Haram members arrested in Abia.

MASSOB leader Ralph Uwazuruike, who spoke in a telephone interview with The Nation, warned that his group would no longer tolerate the mindless killing of Ndigbo in any part of the country.
According to him, the movement would “retaliate with equal and decisive force if terrorists attack any city in the zone”.
His words:
“The position of MASSOB on this matter is firm. We will bring down Nigeria, if any bomb goes off in the Southeast. We can no longer tolerate the mindless killing of Ndigbo
in any part of Nigeria because we will retaliate with equal force against any attack on any part of Igboland.”
The group also warned against what it described as the deliberate posting of military, police, Customs and Immigration officers, who are Igbo, to the Northeast to confront the Boko Haram insurgents.
It alleged that their counterparts from the North were being posted to the Southeast for safety. But MASSOB did not support its stand with figures. MASSOB claimed that such a measure was part of the grand plan of the pre-Nigerian civil war agenda to totally annihilate Igbo officers and men in the nation’s military by the powers that be.
