The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB has condemned the plan by the Norwegian government to illegally
deport Lotachukwu Okolie, the detained leader of pro Biafra agitators in
Norway and his counterpart Onyedikachi Ani, also detained, who is
married to Norwegian and has a child with her, and other Biafra
activists in the country.
In a statement by leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, the plan is
allegedly being hatched by the APC led government of Pres Buhari. He
said that the government of Norway is supposed to exhibit diplomatic and
International maturity in protecting the persecuted Biafrans or allow
them seek asylum in other countries instead of wickedly aligning with
Nigeria to eliminate innocent Biafrans.
He went on to say: “Norway and Nigeria have already perfected plans
of deporting them through chartered cargo airplane from Belgium, to
transport them to Lagos on March 9, 2016. The information we have is
that the Norwegian Government have struck a deal with Nigerian
Immigrations Service, in Lagos to accept all the deportees by bypassing
the embassy which knows about their pro Biafra activities that are not
illegal, but cooked up lies against them and consider them threat to
Nigeria security, which means they will be eliminated on arrival.
They want to deport them by force irrespective of their correct
papers, against danger warnings, even without papers from the embassy,
and dump them as they have been doing at the Cargo section of Mrtalla
Muhammed international Airport, where no eyes will see them.
We continue to insist that Biafrans are not Nigerians, so under
international law, they should not be sent by force back to Nigeria to
be tortured and killed like many other Biafra agitators in Nigeria and
those they deported from outside Nigeria.”
