Less than 48 hours after Chief Ralph Uwazuruike announced a name change, the new leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB), yesterday, insisted that he is expelled from the group.
On Sunday, Uwazuruike announced he had formed another group, the Biafra Independent Movement (BIM). This was just as the Uchenna Madu-led MASSOB stated that its former leader, Uwazuruike is being investigated for fraudulent acts and that the MASSOB is not part of BIM.
In a statement by Mr. Samuel Edeson, the new national director of information, after an emergency meeting of the group at its new headquarters in Okwe, Okigiwe council area of Imo State and made available to Daily Sun, they insisted: “that Uwazuruike remained an expelled leader of MASSOB who is still under investigation of fraudulent acts.
It further stated that, “MASSOB under our new leader, Madu, has never collapsed, or integrated with any group including the newly formed BIM. After the investigation, MASSOB shall issue Uwazuruike a time frame to return all MASSOB properties in his possession.”
