The leader of Biafra
Independent Movement and founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the
Sovereign State (MASSOB) Uwazuruike described Kanu and his IPOB as fraudsters
who were out to deceive gullible people.
Following allegations by
members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) that Chief Ralph Uwaruike was
one of the masked persons who agreed to testify against Nnamdi Kanu, the MASSOB
leader has dismissed the allegations as idiotic.
He said if he wished to
give evidence against the Director of Radio Biafra, he would have done so in
the open court, rather than request to be masked.
IPOB Director of Media,
Emma Powerful, had in a recent statement issued in Owerri, alleged that the
MASSOB/BIM leader, Uwazuruike, and one Mr. Chijioke Mbaneri, from Enugu State
and some others had agreed with the DSS to hide under a screen to give evidence
during the ongoing treason trial of Kanu before Justice Binta Nyako in Abuja.
Uwazuruike, who addressed newsmen
in Owerri on Tuesday, however, dismissed the claim by IPOB, describing it as
not only idiotic, stupid but also laughable.
Uwazuruike said, “I was the
one who discovered Nnamdi Kanu in 2009, 10 years after I had started MASSOB
when I travelled to London. I gave the money to establish Radio Biafra, rented
a house for him and bought him a car because he was jobless and into
Yahoo-Yahoo. He was not in school and had no degree.”
“When I appointed him as
the Director of Radio Biafra, Benjamin and others refused to work under him
because they said he was a fraudster. So, he is nobody and I can’t travel to
Abuja to give evidence against him and worst of all to wear a mask to do that.
“The insinuation by IPOB is
not only idiotic, stupid but laughable because I am still the leader of the
Biafra struggle.”
