MASSOB were the people that attacked Enugu Govt. House -Enugu CP
The Enugu State Police Command said on Monday,
that its investigations into last Saturday’s evasion of the Enugu
government house was carried out by members of the Movement for
the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, a group
canvassing for the re-declaration of Biafran republic.
The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Abubakar Mohammed, who
disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the incident, said that four
persons were arrested including one that was seriously wounded and
hospitalized, explaining that no death was recorded.
He gave their names as Ifeanyi Chukwuma, Francis Nwaemeka,
Sunday Okafor and Shedrack Onwuka Obi, all from Anambra
state.
He said that items recovered from the MASSOB members who
stormed the Government House to forcefully take over the Enugu
State seat of power at about 4.30am were two big banners bearing
symbol of the Republic of Biafra, 34 assorted flags including those
belonging to the defunct Republic of Biafra, Britain, United States,
and Israel, one big bag containing charms, eight matchetes and a saw.
He said that no gun was recovered from them.
According to the CP, the suspects who claimed to be members of the
pro-Biafra group had confessed that they were invited by some
persons in Enugu to hoist the Biafra flags at the Government House,
adding that his men were already out in search of their alleged
sponsors whose identities he declined to make public.
He said that the group of young men who invaded the Enugu
Government House at about 4.30am on March 8, 2014 and armed
with matchetes were on a mission to take over the Government House
Enugu but added that until their sponsors were arrested it would be
difficult to ascertain their actual motive.
“In the process of interrogating them the arrested persons they gave us
the names of those who invited them to Enugu to hoist MASSOB
flag in Enugu. The motive of those who invited them is what we are
trying to establish. We will charge the arrested persons to court while
we will continue to look for their sponsors,” the Police Commissioner
said.
When newsmen demanded to see the suspects to hear their own story,
the CP said nobody would be allowed access to them for the meantime
in order not to jeopardize ongoing investigations.
