Release Kanu unconditionally, Uwazuruike tells FG

Chief Ralph Uwazuruike

LEADER of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has passionately appealed to the Federal Government to unconditionally release of Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
He made the appeal on Thursday, while addressing scores of loyalists and friends of MASSOB, who stormed Owerri, the Imo State capital, for the third anniversary of death of Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.
Notable personalities that honoured the event were Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, Dr Fredrick Fasehun, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, who was the special guest of honour, Alhaji Yerima Shetima; president, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Professor Alu Danladi, Ambassador John Fashanu, Alhaji Abdullahi Zaria, Alhaji Sale Hassan, Alhaji Abubakar Shehu, Alhaji Zallari Bello and Alhaji Aminu Gwaru, among others.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief Uwazuruike urged the Federal Government to ignore their earlier empty threats, stressing that if there was any group that should be feared in Nigeria, it was MASSOB.
“We are not operating from any foreign country. The so-called Radio Biafra, London, was opened by MASSOB in London and Nnamdi Kanu appointed as the Director, after MASSOB had operated Voice of Biafra International in Washington DC for three years. The purpose of Radio Biafra London was to showcase the marginalisation of Ndigbo,” Uwazuruike he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Major Al-Mustapha said he was able to learn a lot from the late Ojukwu, especially his wisdom and capacity to understand issues an period in time. 
“I am not here to recall the circumstances that led to the three-year civil war in Nigeria, but I believe that it was our collective destiny to have had that war. 
“For now, it is unfortunate that the unity of purpose and sense of care to be our brothers’ keepers are still missing in our psyche and some people, instead of investing their resources here in the country, prefer to invest it abroad,” Al-Mustapha said
