A factional wing of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign
State of Biafra, MASSOB, has assured that Biafran passports being issued
to its citizens are valid and accepted in countries across the globe.
MASSOB’s
National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, also warned the
federal government to stop seizing Biafra passport or threatening its
holders.
“I assure you that the Biafran passport is valid. Except
Nigeria, other countries of the world accept Biafran passport and allow
our citizens to travel with it,” he told Vanguard.
“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 were
being turned back at various airports.
According to him, those
who had used the passport issued by the Biafran Directorate of Passport
travelled overseas without hitches.
