It has been alleged that soldiers have inflicted severe injuries on a member of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Jonah Samuel for wearing a cap with Biafra inscription. The soldiers, who were in two hilux patrol jeeps were said to have accosted Jonah wearing his Biafran camouflage cap at Obikabia junction, New Umuahia road, Ogbor Hill, Aba, parked their vehicles and after a little interrogation started beating him before leaving him in a pool of blood.

If not for the efforts of some Good Samaritans who took Jonah to the hospital, he would have given up the ghost due to the cruel beating he got from the soldiers.

MASSOB’s Assistant National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor it was disgusting that it was soldiers could brutalize Jonah who was going home after participating in a the ‘Jega Must Go’ protest action organized by the group.
