There was jubilation in Awka and Onitsha, on Sunday, following their release.
It was confirmed by the Director of Information and Senior Special Adviser to BIM-MASSOB on Media and Publicity, Mazi Chris Mocha, in a statement made available to reporters in Awka.
According to Mocha, “While it is a right for the oppressed peoples to agitate for independence, the peaceful method has remained the only panacea for the achievement of the self-determination for Biafra.”
He urged their members to remain consistent, resolute and steadfast by following Uwazuruike’s footsteps, which according to him, was the only way through which the state of Biafra could be achieved.
