50 DEAD, 300 SERIOUSLY INJURED & CHIEF UWAZURUIKE, 150 OTHERS MISSING

In continuation of our provincial rally, at about 10am today March 29th 2003, we were in a convoy to Umuahia,
Aba and Port-Harcourt via Okigwe for a rally but were halted at Onuimo by a combined team of Nigerian armed
mobile police men, who on sighting us opened fire recklessly on us without consideration to life. As at
the time of this release, our leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and 150 others are still missing while in
our custody are 300 biafran men battered by bullets and 50 others instantly dead.
BLF/MASSOB therefore demands as follows:-

• That our Leader Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and 150 others should be unconditionally released dead or alive within the next 48 hours.
• That the commissioner of police, Imo state command should resign with immediate effect.
• That the Governor Chief Achike Udenwa should explain to MASSOB/BLF why such incident should happen again in his state.

While BLF/MASSOB remains non violent, we warn that we shall not hesitate to defend and protect our lives by
any means deemed necessary.

All Easterners, Igbo groups, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, human rights Organizations and the international community
should take note. That a snake sleeps does not mean that it has lost its striking powers.
