LAGOS—The Movement For The Actualisation of The Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has dismissed reports of a crack in its fold.

A former of Director of Information of the group, Mr. Uchenna Madu, had in a media report, alleged that the organisation could break up any time due to the crack within its fold.
But speaking in Lagos, one of the regional administrators of MASSOB, Callistus Eze, said there was no crack within the organisation, saying MASSOB was intact.
According to him, all members of the group are still very loyal to the leader, Chief Raphael Uwazurike.

“We have confidence in him. What happened was that Uchenna Madu was redeployed, based on anti-MASSOB activities,” he said.
Eze said Madu was involved in indiscipline and disloyalty to MASSOB leadership and was, therefore, affected by the reshuffle done in the organisation recently.
He also said Madu’s allegation of fraud against the leadership of the group was not true.

He further added that Madu and some other members were transferred and not sacked as he claimed.
According to him, instead of Madu to resume at his new duty post, he disobeyed and went to the press to fabricate false stories against MASSOB.
