Mr Alphonsus Ajuka, Regional Administrator, Movement for Actualisation of the
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), wants the Federal Government to release
2,000 of its members currently in prison custody.

Ajuka further appealed to the international community to put pressure on the
government to ensure their release.



He made the appeal at Onueke, Ezza South Local Government Area of Ebonyi while
addressing MASSOB members.

Ajuka regretted that in spite of the non-violent posture of MASSOB, its members
were being persecuted by agents of the government.

The administrator said that MASSOB was floated in 1999 to start a non-violent
protest to bring to the attention of the international community the
deprivation of the people of the former Eastern Region.
