Pro Biafran supporters have thrown its weight behind the 31-day ultimatum given to the Federal Government by ex-Niger Delta militants who are demanding for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
The former militants, in a demonstration of solidarity with the indigenous Peoples of Biafra and other pro-Biafra activists had asked the Federal Government to release Kanu within 31 days or face severe consequences.
In an interview with our correspondent, the MASSOB National Director of Information, Samuel Edeson, said the pro-Biafra activists were in support of the step taken by the ex-militants.
Edeson explained that the pro-Biafra agitators and the ex-militants were fighting the same cause.
According to him, although the secessionists do not believe in using violence to actualise the struggle , the former militants are free to employ any means they deem fit towards realising the goal.
“We (MASSOB) support them (ex-militants) because if they felt that it is the only way for them to go about the struggle, they have the right to do what they are doing. They have not taken up arms against the country and the Federal Government, they are only making a demand”, Edeson said.
