Two Biafra agitating groups, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), have asked the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, to order the Ebonyi state command to return all its properties that were unlawfully taken away during a raid on the premises of the groups in 2013.

Vanguard reports that the demand was made on behalf of the group by one of their leaders in Ebonyi state, Mr Nwifuru John.

John gave the list of the items with the police to include: MASSOB ID cards, six pairs of MASSOB boots, uniforms, 48 plastic chairs and N250,000.

“As freedom fighters, no amount of persecution and intimidation would deter the group from pursuing its core objective of actualizing the sovereign state of Biafra in the near future,” he reportedly warned.

The Biafran leader further accused the police of disobeying court verdicts which had ordered the police to pay a compensation of N2 million and N5 million respectively as damages against the group.

He described the group as a non-violent organization wondering why the police was in the habit of disobeying court orders concerning it.
