Founder of the
Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign States of Biafra(MASSOB) and
the leader of the Biafra Independent Movement Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph
Uwazuruike, has flayed the protest by a group
known as the Global Peace and Rescue Initiative (GOPRI) at the Abuja
office of the human rights organisation, the Amnesty International(AI),
accusing the Federal Government of instigating it over the organization’s
report which had indicted Security Agencies especially the Army of extra
Judicial killings.
It would be recalled that the protesters led by one Melvin
Ejeh had on Monday besieged the Abuja
office of Amnesty International(Al) ordering the organisation to leave the
country within 48 hours or face the wrath
of the group.
Uwazuruike, who spoke through Chief Solomon Okechukwu, said
that the protesters who claimed to be human rights activists were sponsored to harass the Amnesty
International in the country after its
damning report on the obnoxious human
rights violations and the extra judicial killings carried out by the security Agencies and
especially by the Army against the Biafra agitators.
He queried that if the shadowy group is indeed human right
activists why have they remained silent in the face of the extra judicial
killings been carried out by the security Agencies in the country especially
the against unarmed MASSOB members? Noting that the harassment of the Amnesty
International and the 48 hours ultimatum to leave the country was ostensibly to ensure that the human rights
violations in the country goes on reported.
Uwazuruike, however,
appealed to the United Nations (UN) to intervene and save AI and MASSOB from
oppressors. He equally warned GOPRI from parading itself as a human rights
group. “they should stop parading themselves as a human rights group as it is
obvious that the are being sponsored as the Amnesty International who have been
doing their work diligently as a
credible Human Right Watch over the World, Nigeria Inclusive.”
Uwazuruike said.
