RALPH UWAZURUIKE, LEADER OF MASSOB.Three "Biafrans" have been killed in the latest bloody clashes between the revolutionary separatist activists and the security forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The casualties were reported in Aba and Onitsha.
The political situation in the South East of Nigeria needs to be addressed by the United Nations and the G-8, because the on-going separatist protests by the members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra(MASSOB), demanding for the release their leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike have distrupted business activities as markets, shops, offices and banks have been shut since yesterday. And three protesters have been killed and several others have been wounded in the violent disturbances in Aba and Onitsha just across the Niger Bridge.
The UN is always slow to react to such emergencies until the situation becomes worse and then the UN will be running helter-skelter in panic to stop the anarchy and chaos.
We don't have to wait for another civil war to break out in Nigeria before we know that there is a state of emergency in the southern states of Nigeria from the critical situation over the "Wanted" Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, governor of Bayelsa state to the unresolved crisis in Anambra State and the mayhem over Biafra.
The foreign news agencies have been circulating the reports since Nigerian Times published the first information yesterday.
