The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB group has threatened to bring the nation to it knees should the federal government refuse to release its embattled leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group in a statement issued threatened to deploy civil protests in a similar manner to that which was deployed during the Ghandi of India and Martin Luther King Jr. days.
The group which is demanding the release of their embattled leader in seven days or less made this known in a statement released by its Director of Information, Comrade Uche Madu, on Sunday.
The statement added that MASSOB will be forced to cripple activities in the country by staging a nationwide protest sequel to that conducted by the Indigenous People of Birafra, IPOB.

Uche Madu in the statement however expressed dissappointment at Igbo leaders, South-east governor and other political heads from the region for not supporting the cause aimed at freeing Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement reads:
“MASSOB will unleash the potency of non-violence which includes civil disobedience, civil unrest, non-cooperation, civil/massive boycott as was done during the emancipation struggle of Ghandi of India & Martin Luther King junior.“For the sake of Biafra’s love for our fatherland and the spirit of brotherhood, MASSOB shall continue to identify with genuine and selfless Biafra agitation as showcased in Nnamdi Kanu.“Only some few disgruntled elements and Abuja errand boys from eastern region are always against Biafra. MASSOB shall hold Igbo governors, National Assembly members, traditional rulers and opinion leaders heavily responsible if Nnamdi Kanu is not released coming week.“The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will worsen the already fragile security situation in Nigeria. Factional MASSOB, IPOB and other genuine groups are now ready.”
