The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) yesterday demanded the bodies of three of its members allegedly killed by soldiers during the raid on its security office on the Onitsha-Owerri Road, Onitsha, Anambra State. MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, who addressed reporters, said the release became imperative, following worries by the deceaseds families and MASSOB that the bodies be released for a befitting funeral, to prevent their spirits from roaming. MASSOB also demanded the release of those arrested before, during and after the raid, who included, Friday Igiri, Kenneth Nwabueze and Ezeigwe. The groups leader spoke through his personal assistant, Emmanuel Omenka. His words: We demand the release of the bodies for funeral. We are surprised that soldiers always involve themselves in MASSOBs affairs. For four days, they raided our security office at Mgbuka junction and arrested three of our members. They should tell us our offence. He added: They should stop disturbing our members.
