Igbo group threathens to secede tomorrow
THE Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM), a group that has been threatening to enforce the secession of the South-East, has again stated that it will declare an independent Biafra state on Monday.
Leader of BZM, Benjamin Onwuka, had said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) monitored in Kaduna, on Saturday, that on Monday, the group would declare the South-East as the state of Biafra.
The group, while making the declaration, also accused chieftains of Movement for the Actualisation of the State of Biafra (MASSOB) of kidnapping and torturing its members, insisting that nothing would deter it from achieving its aim.
However, the national publicity secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Anthony Sani, told Sunday Tribune that his organisation met with the leadership of Ohanaeze recently on how best to strengthen and move the nation forward.
"The ensuing communiqué emphasised the commitment by the two groups to a united strong Nigeria. Towards that end, the duo resolved to keep the channel of communication open. So, for any other Igbo group to come from nowhere and start to hanker for secession may be understood but not forgiven," he said.
