Uwazuruike, who spoke through his Assistant Director of information, Mr. Sunday Okereafor, in Owerri, Imo State, described the Radio Biafra boss as a rebel who had long been expelled by MASSOB for inciting violence among members.
"Kanu's arrest has nothing to do with the struggle for a sovereign state of Biafra", the MASSOB leader stated.
Uwazuruike pointed out that Kanu broke the group's non-violent approach and was summarily dismissed.
He, however, dismissed the allegation that MASSOB was behind the arrest of the Biafra Radio boss, adding that the movement cannot meddle into unnecessary matter.
