Movement for the Actualisation of
Sovereign State of Biafra MASSOB, has stated that the killing being perpetrated
by herdsmen in parts of Benue and Taraba states was a kind of pay back to those
who joined Hausa/Fulani to slaughter Igbos in 1967.
MASSOB also warned governors and
traditional rulers from South East not to give any part of Biafraland to Fulani
herdsmen for the purposes of cattle colony, adding that the North had large
expanse of land.
MASSOB’s Director of Information,
Sunny Okereafor, while speaking with Daily Sun, said the warning had become
imperative because of information at the organisation’s disposal that some
state governors and traditional rulers from the South East were negotiating
with the Northern oligarchy to give out some portions of land in Biafra to
Fulani herdsmen to serve as cattle colonies.
“Anybody doing this dangerous
negotiation should be aware of the consequences of giving out Biafraland to
Fulani herdsmen, which we see as abomination, and which not only them will pay
for, but, also, their children’s children.
“If the federal government wants
to create cattle colony, let it be in the North that has large expanse of land
and when we need their cattle, we will go over to buy them; but to cede any
part of our land to Fulani herdsmen, we say no!” He said.
Okoroafor said MOASSOB would
employ every available civilized means to ensure no portion of Biafra land was
given out to the Fulani herdsmen.
On the massacre in some parts of
Benue and Taraba States by the herdsmen, he added, “This is just pay back time for
them and this is just the begging. All those who took part in the unjust
killing of the Igbo from 1967 to 1970 will have no peace until they apologise
for their misdeed.”
