Former members of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, under the aegis of Concerned Igbo Citizens, CIC, yesterday, tendered an apology to Anambra State police command for accusing its men of killing some MASSOB members and dumping their corpses into Ezu river bridge.
In a statement jointly signed by National Coordinator, Chief Okechukwu Nnogu, and National Secretary, Comrade Sunny Okpaleke, the group also petitioned the National Assembly Committees on Police Affairs asking it to disregard MASSOB's claims that their members were killed and dumped in Ezu river.
The group contended that after taking a critical look at the issues, it discovered that there was not even a single member of MASSOB whose body was among the corpses floating in Ezu river, neither was any MASSOB member missing.
The group said: "As former MASSOB members, we know MASSOB information propaganda and antics. .
"As former foundational members of MASSOB in Onitsha, these four names listed by MASSOB are members, under MASSOB Onitsha Region 5, (Onitsha North), headed by one Vincent Iloh as the regional administrator, while the late Philip Nwankpa was an area administrator living at Ugwuagba Obosi".
"Philip Nwankpa and three others died since April 10, 2012 , in an exchange of gun fire between the police and MASSOB members during a robbery operation at Dennis Memorial Grammar School round about, Onitsha".

This splitter group is as senseless as they are been sponsored. Their stupid arguement does not remove the fact that there wa an extrs-judicial murder. This group of cycophants should be questioned. They have shown that they know a lot about the murder.
