MASSOB faults Army over opposition to Biafra memorial

MASSOB (Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra) has condemned the Nigerian Army for its continued opposition to the construction of a Biafra memorial in the southeastern region. The group argues that the army’s stance suppresses the cultural and historical recognition of the Biafran struggle, while the military maintains that the memorial could inflame separatist sentiments and threaten national unity. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions between pro‑Biafran activists and the federal security forces. Views Nigeria
