A group called MASSOB wants President Tinubu to free Nnamdi Kanu from prison. Uchenna Madu leads this organization that fights for Biafra's independence. They also want other detained Biafra supporters released from jail. Edeson Samuel spoke for the group and made this demand public. The statement came out on Tuesday.
MASSOB claims the government treats southeastern Nigeria unfairly. Students from this region are ineligible for federal education loans. The exam board makes it hard for Southeastern students to pass tests despite high scores. Leaders from the southeast hold no important jobs at major government agencies. These agencies control oil, taxes, and customs across Nigeria.
The federal government shut down Enugu airport and stopped train services. No major seaport operates anywhere across the southeastern states. MASSOB calls this treatment discrimination against their people. They plan protests for May 30th, during Biafra Remembrance Day. All businesses and schools will close that day across five southeastern states.
