Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra on Thursday shunned the United Kingdom’s offer of asylum for its members, saying it was a trap to stop their goal.
In a statement by MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, the group said that the asylum offer was a plan by Buhari’s government in conjunction with the British government to stop the Biafra nation.
“The government of Britain is the sole architecture of the political, economic and religious problems of the people of Biafra in Nigeria even till today.
“It has not shown any remorse or apologised to the people of Biafra.
“Britain killed, maimed mesmerised and wounded our fathers, mothers and brethren through the Hausa Fulanis. MASSOB rejects their asylum gift”, part of the statement read.
The group added, “How can the chief prosecutor of the people of Biafra suddenly turn to be our pacesetter? Britain and Nigeria can no longer deceive the world again concerning the plights of the people of Biafra.
“Our unified resilience, resolutions and unshakable spirit of no surrender will continue to hunt down this geographical expression called Nigeria.
“MASSOB demands a referendum on Biafra not asylum.”
