MASSOB also alleged that the policemen who invaded its leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike�s country home in Okwe, Onuimo local govenment area of Imo State, carted away, among other items, the sum of N1.3 million raised to solve the organisation�s logistics problem. About 100 cops had raided Uwazuruike�s home apparently seeking Biafra items, such as flags, declared illegal by the Federal Government. The MASSOB leader escaped arrest but 11 of his men were picked up. Director of information of MASSOB Mr. Uchenna Duru, told Daily Champion that attacks by security agencies would not deter the organisation from pursuing the Biafra cause. If nothing, he added, such onslaught had further gingered the members to show "more than extra" determination and commitment to the Biafra cause. Condemning the attack, MASSOB described it as primitive, observing that "there was no cause for it." Duru reiterated that MASSOB is non-violent and "no threat to the Federal Government of Nigeria." Eleven MASSOB members arrested at Okwe, he said, are being detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Owerri. "Government�s tactics cannot destroy Biafra. God, history and humanity are on Biafra�s side," he stressed. The MASSOB director called on Amnesty International, the world community and lovers of peace to note the onslaughts against the organisation and enjoined the United Nations (UN) to hurry up deliberations on the Biafra matter. Efforts to reach state police commissioner, Hez Dimka and the command�s spokesman repeatedly proved abortive as they were not at the police headquarters and their cell phones reportedly switched off. � 2004 @ Champion Newspapers Limited (All Right Reserved).
