The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has condemned the recent arrest of the Chairman of Innoson Group, Innocent Chukwuma, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
MASSOB described the arrest as one of the plans by the Federal Government to frustrate industrialists from Igbo extraction.
The movement’s National Director of Information, Sunday Okereafor, made this known to newsmen on Monday.
MASSOB expressed surprised that rather than encourage genuine businessmen like Chukwuma and others from the South-East, the federal government decided to frustrate some of them.
The group recalled that the Chairman of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Uba, also went through a similar ordeal.
Okereafor pointed out that the EFCC should not be in a haste to arrest businessmen, especially when such issues leading to their arrest could be resolved internally.
