SMH! Alleged treason: S-Court okays MASSOB leader, Uwazuruike, six others for trial


The Supreme Court, Friday, gave the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Mohammed Adoke Bello, SAN, the nod to prosecute the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and six others, for allegedly committing treason against the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A five- man panel of justices of the apex court led by Justice Mahmud Mohammed, dismissed an appeal before it by the accused MASSOB members, saying that their “trial should proceed with dispatch.”
However, the Supreme Court’s decision triggered angry reactions from Igbo, most of who described the Federal Government position on MASSOB as absurd, especially in ‘’view of the kid glove approach it had adopted in the case of Boko Haram adherents who are being considered for amnesty.’’
Aside Uwazurike, the other accused persons the apex court directed the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court to promptly commence their trial included Ambrose Anyaso, Augustine Ihuoma, Chibuike Nwosu, Kelechi Ubabuike, Chimankpa Okorocha and Benedict Alakwem.
