Movement for the Actualization of Biafra (MASSOB), a splinter group of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPA), has said that it has launched a satellite radio station in Nigeria.
According to a press release Comrade Ikechukwu Enyiagu, interim spokesperson, the station is known as Radio Biafra, and can be received via satellite.
The release stated further that Radio Biafra was designed to reach people of the defunct Biafra Republic. It also stated that efforts are being made by different Biafran movements to compel Nigeria to allow Biafrans secede through a referendum.
Enyiagu, dissociated his group from the Biafra Zionist Movement, which claimed responsibility for a recent attack on Enugu Government House.
He stated further that IPA has no alliance with Ralph Uwazurike, MASSOB or its leader, and affirmed that despite efforts by government agencies to frustrate their efforts, the group has continued to grow.
The release also informed that Radio Biafra was originally launched in London in 2013, and has been on air in Europe, Australia, United States and some parts of Asia. “Radio Biafra decided to come home to Biafran soil, now that the time is right”, it read.
It also warned that those killing Biafrans outside Biafra territory would be dealt with when Biafra finally regains nationhood.
