Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Mr. Sunny Okereafor, during an interview with Vanguard warned the federal government of Nigeria to stop seizing Biafran passports and stop threatening its holders adding that the Biafran passports being issued to its citizens are valid and accepted in various countries all over the world. He insisted that many citizens of Biafra had used the passport issued by the Biafran Directorate of Passport, and travelled overseas without any hitch.
He said:
“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?”
