MASSOB also threatened to drag the Muhammadu Buhari administration to the
International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the Hague, over the killings of pro Biafra
protesters.
“MASSOB is worried at the rate at which defenceless pro Biafra agitators are being
killed. It is unheard of to have soldiers shoot people who were gathered for prayers.
We believe it is a strategy to incite the people of the South East and South-South to
war," Okereafor said.
"These are antics we know too well. We refuse to be deceived. The people of the
former Eastern region have been thoroughly provoked. MASSOB will not keep quiet at
these senseless killings and have decided to let the international community know
about the atrocities being committed by Nigerian security agents.
“MASSOB have concluded plans to take our case to the International Court of Justice,
Hague. We have compiled our evidences on the killings and the dramatis personae.
Our group will not keep quiet on these acts of killings of innocent citizens.”
A combined force of Nigerian soldiers and policemen, had on February 17,
attacked an unarmed crowd » of Biafra supporters in Abia state, brutalising some
women and opening fire of fleeing protesters.
