Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB,
has said that Biafran passports being issued to its citizens are valid
and accepted in various countries across the globe.
He nsisted that many citizens of Biafra had used the passport issued
by the Biafran Directorate of Passport, and travelled overseas without
hitches.
In an interview with Vanguard, MASSOB’s National Director of
Information, Sunny Okereafor, warned the federal government to stop
seizing Biafra passport or threatening its holders.
According to him, “I assure you the Biafran passport is valid. Except
Nigeria, other countries of the world accept Biafran passport and allow
our citizens to travel with it. In Europe, North and South America,
Biafra passport is accepted. Nigeria is the only country that seizes
Biafran passport. Go to neighbouring Ghana here, they will stamp the
passport for you. Don’t be confused by the propaganda of the Nigerian
government that there is nothing like Biafra passport.
“MASSOB appeals to Biafra citizens to procure their passport and use
it to travel. If you doubt me, get a Nigerian passport while I have my
Biafran passport; when we get to Europe, you will see who they will
welcome than the other.
“Many people with Nigerian passport have been repatriated, but have
you heard of anybody with Biafran passport receiving such
ill-treatment?”
He disclosed that the Biafran passport cost N5, 000 and could be
renewed with N2, 000 and denied reports that people who bought the
passport are being turned back at various airports.
