The leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Ralph Uwazuruike has alleged that the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kaju is working for the Nigerian Secret Service, the Department of State Security (DSS).
Ralph went further to advise members of the Igbo nation to treat the re-appearance of the IPOB leader with levity because according to him, “it was carefully prearranged by the Department of State Security, DSS”.
The MASSOB boss made this call, during a press conference in Owerri on Monday in reaction to the appearance of Nnamdi Kanu in Jerusalem as well as his world press broadcast soon after. The statement read;
Not many of his ardent followers truly know that Kanu is not sincerely working for the Independence of Biafra. His coming to Nigeria, his arrest, detention, trial, release on bail and his alleged disappearance and resurfacing, were all prearranged by the DSS”, Uwazuruike said.
Continuing further, he questioned the sincerity of the IPOB leader for refusing to disclose how he was able to escape when the Nigeria Army invaded his residence after flouting all the bail conditions given to him.
“How did he disappear from his country home? How did he survive the onslaught, even when he claimed that about 28 people were killed during the military operation in his home? How did he leave Nigeria and what document did he use to traverse all the nations before arriving Israel? We couldn’t have forgotten so soon that the DSS seized all his travel documents.
This is not the case with Nnamdi Kanu. Running away from the struggle means that he is a fake freedom fighter. This young man does not consult anybody and he has no adviser. Kanu erroneously believe that President Buhari can wake up any day and call for a referendum that is not even captured in the Constitution”, Uwazuruike said.
The MASSOB leader further voiced his suspicion of the IPOB leader;
“When Kanu was declared missing, I knew that it was a ruse. When Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State said that Kanu would resurface before the end of the year, he spoke from the point of knowledge and not speculation”.

As the speech continued Uwazuruike appealed to the Igbo nation to disregard the directives issued by the IPOB leader stating that Nnamdi Kanu is not worth dying for.
During the question and answer session at the end of the conference, Uwazuruike said he was aware that the DSS conscripted Kanu to degrade MASSOB and its struggle;
“Nnamdi Kanu is calling for effective boycott of elections, referendum and sit at home, which MASSOB/BIM abandoned long ago, because of its adverse effects on Ndigbo. These issues are not practicable and the young man does not and cannot have effective control over them. even if the people obey the order, the Nigerian Constitution empowers President Buhari to appoint anybody to run the affairs of any state, where elections were not held”. He concluded
