Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, on Monday, berated some Igbo leaders and politicians in south east region who spoke from both sides of their mouth in order to curry favour from the Federal government thereby working against the overall interests of their people.
These class of Igbo leaders and politicians had in the past betrayed Biafra cause, and were classified by BIM/MASSOB as saboteurs.
The saboteurs according to the Biafra leading movement , BIM/ MASSOB, are those Igbos that are allowed to win Federal government appointments or contracts by criticizing their own Igbo kinsmen.
Chief Achike Udenwa, an accounts clerk who later became the governor of Imo state in an interview on Newswatch magazine edition of July 23, 2001, said ”the mere mention of Biafra or flying the flag was a treasonable felony’.
But a Chief magistrate court in Benin city had ruled in favour of MASSOB by declaring that Ralph Uwazuruike-led MASSOB is a non-violent organization, and directed the government, not to arrest or detain MASSOB members on similar charges of treasonable felony’.
Then, if the ruling of the Chief magistrate court in Benin is anything to go by, the letter of the DPP lagos state might confound Udenwa, an accounts clerk.
Recall that the Director of public prosecution (DPP) had in a strong worded letter informed the court that MASSOB members under Chief Ralph Uwazuruike are innocent and harmless members of a peaceful organization, that does not constitute a threat to the state or Federal government.
‘The Chief magistrate also gave his ruling that, ‘the mere asking or flying the Biafra flag can never amount to treasonable felony’.
It was on the strength of the said letter by the Director of public prosecution
( DPP), in lagos state that our detained MASSOB members were immediately released of the phoney charges of treasonable felony.
An accounts clerk, Achike Udenwa who does not know anything about what the law said concerning self -determination now claimed to know better than a Director of public prosecution and a Chief magistrate.
Udenwa also chaired a weekly security meeting at the government house, Owerri, the Imo state capital, on March 28, 2003, where he directed mobile policemen to kill the members of MASSOB on sight as the only condition to secure his second term bid.
On March 29, 2003, according to the statement, the bloody testy mobile policemen laid ambush at Amuro town in Onuimo LGA along the Umulolo -Okigwe road against MASSOB members.
Hundreds of the members of MASSOB now BIM/MASSOB were slaughtered like cattles by the trigger happy mobile policemen in Owerri, Imo state.
Today, the Amaifeke born Accounts clerk (Achike Udenwa) who had already made himself a willing tool to the powers -that-be in Abuja has now been used, abandoned and dumped by his masters.
Udenwa and Mr. Peter Obi have now made history for our children children’s children as governors in the entire Eastern region who masterminded the killing of their own brothers and sisters for their political interest .
Also, the president of Odenigbo Forum, Chief Martin Okeke, who had worked as an errand boy to president Olusegun Obasanjo, in an interview with ThisDay newspaper of 2002 maliciously denigrated Dim Ojukwu.
On May 11, 2006, the presidency under Obasanjo, in a major offensive had deployed about 2000 mobile policemen to rout out the members of MASSOB in Onitsha, Anambra state.
Mr. Peter Obi, executive governor, Anambra state, had said to newsmen in Awka, on May 8, 2006, “he would not mind the hoodlums which he mentioned NARTO, AVS and MASSOB members being shot on sight”
Several people, Mrs Chioma Awah, a pregnant woman and including pupils at Awada primary schools, Obosi, Iyiowa Odekpe, near Onitsha were gruesomely shot dead as a result of this directive.
Chief Chekwas Okorie, a one time chieftain of All progressives grand alliance ( Apga) was not left out as he also insulted Ojukwu in 2008 until MASSOB threatened to arrest him, strip him and parade him naked on the streets and major markets in Igbo land without inflicting any bodily injury on him.
These class of politicians are ready to sell their brothers for thirty pieces of silver; they are our elected members of the Senate or House of Representatives who were awarded contracts only for them to abandon such projects to the detriment of their own people, etc.
These set of people whom the Federal government are sure never criticized their performances in the past and will never criticize the administration even in the nearest future.
The Federal government usually relied on these class of Igbo leaders to quieten any complaint of marginalization by their Igbo kinsmen.
It should not be surprising to hear from one political party or an illustrious son like the former president general of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohaneze, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, said in The Sun newspaper edition of December 15, 2017,’ ‘that Igbos are not marginalized in the scheme of things in Nigerian politics or Igbos should forget Biafra’
Some of them would say, We’re interested in Igbo president, and a restructured Nigeria, not Biafra – Ohaneze Ndigbo; The Sun newspaper edition of August 12, 2020 .
He would tell us that Biafra is dead or one silly comment or the other against Igbo cause just to curry favour in order to win federal contracts to the detriment of the Igbo people.
“Some of the self acclaimed Igbo leaders would even dodge the press outrightly to avoid being labelled as supporting the Igbo cause”, Mocha said.
Through their smart criticisms, the Yoruba media had successfully made these calibre of igbo leaders and politicians as friends and it had become fashionable among the leaders not to mention anything as Igbo marginalization during any public function so as to be in the good book of records with the government.
In a press release signed by Director of Information of MASSOB, Mazi Chris Mocha, at Ikem-Ivite community, in Anambra East council area, on Monday, to mark 23rd year anniversary of New Biafra, said,
“some igbo leaders including Chief John Nnia Nwodo who hoped to be appointed into the new government of Ahmed Bola Tinubu usually took their time to denude all their public speeches of pro- igbo sentiments.

Akeredolu died because he didn’t listen to me – Widow, Betty

Former First Lady of Ondo State, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has claimed that the late Governor Rotimi Akeredolu would have been alive if he listened to her.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu stated this in an exclusive interview with StarNews Publisher, published on Thursday.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer 27 years ago, she decided to seek medical care instead of consulting spiritual healers.
According to her, this was a crucial step in her recovery.
However, her husband Akeredolu died from prostate cancer on December 23, 2023.
According to Betty, Akeredolu was religious but she was “wired differently.
When asked if she disapproved of prayers and rejected spiritual assistance during Akeredolu’s battle with cancer, Betty said: “What came out of their mountain climbing, ‘blessed’ handkerchiefs, water, olive oil, etc., from the GOs and all the noisy prayers like people possessed by demons?
“If Aketi had listened to me, I wouldn’t be a widow.”

ALLEGED MISSING ARMS: POLICE CLARIFIES ALLEGATIONS OF 3907 UNACCOUNTED ARMS.

The Nigeria Police Force expresses surprise and deep concerns regarding recent news alleging that 3,907 arms are missing from the Nigeria Police Force. These allegations are misleading and inaccurate.
The Force wishes to clarify that this report appears to stem from an assessment of the report by the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation, AuGF dating back to 2019, likely reflecting records compiled prior to the current Inspector-General of Police’s tenure. In the report, according to Issue 3b, Sub (iii), it is stated that 3907 arms were unaccounted for and not “missing” as speculated by the news.
It is important to acknowledge the challenges faced by the police during periods of civil unrest, during which several Police Officers were killed and their arms carted away, and some attacks and looting of police facilities and armories, resulting in the loss of arms. However, every effort has been made to account for the arms that were taken, while many have been recovered back to the arms holding of the force at the moment.
We also note that when auditors conduct visits to our armories, they may not find all arms present at the time due to the issuance of weapons to personnel for operational purposes, many spanning to months depending on the nature of such operations. Consequently, this may lead to misconceptions regarding the accuracy of audit reports.
Furthermore, the Nigeria Police Force has a statutory and annual internal auditing process in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Police Regulations, administrative instructions and standard operating procedures (SOP) which include stringent measures to ensure controlled movement and proper accountability of arms. Throughout our audits, there has been no outrageous record of unaccounted or missing arms, as speculated in the 2019 report of the AuGF, despite some incidences that have been documented and managed.
The Force has earlier defended the audit queries, which had hoped to help in reconciling the discrepancies in the reports. However, the hearing session presided over by the Senate Committee on Public Account has been postponed to Monday, 17th of February 2025, giving ample time for a proper cross analysis of records.
Contrary to the make-believe and misleading reportage by some media houses, the IGP was not present when the senators were raising questions on the purported “missing” firearms. The IGP appeared briefly before the Senate Committee on Public Accounts on Tuesday 11/02/25. He was asked to take the usual oath and explain why he did not honour previous invitations by the committee. The IGP responded to the satisfaction of the commitee members and was thereafter excused to take his leave while the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Police Accounts and Budget, stayed back to answer the queries of the committee. These queries related to the period that predated the administration of the current IGP. For emphasis sake, no such outrageous number of firearms is missing in the armouries of the NPF within the stated period.
Managing mischief and the spread of misinformation against the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has been a significant challenge in recent times. The NPF has, in recent times, made notable strides in stabilizing the internal security space, but malicious actors seek to undermine these efforts by striving to erode public confidence in the police through the spread of malicious contents
It is important to note that the proliferation of misinformation, especially against institutions like the Nigeria Police have far-reaching consequences, including compromising public safety, damaging reputations, and hindering the NPF’s ability to effectively maintain law and order. However, the NPF remains committed to maintaining transparency and public trust and will continue to uphold the security of the nation while honouring the duty to account for all operational materials entrusted to us.
