Mazi King Eze Onuigbo Must Stay—Home Office Ref: O1142828

Alphonsus .O. Mefor | 19.11.2011 12:04 | Migration | Workers' Movements | Cambridge | World

On 20th November 2006, Mazi Onuigbo participated actively in disrupting the image-laundering project of the Nigerian government called ‘Nigeria Heart of Africa’, which took place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Hall. Till date, the Nigerian government is still looking for the protesters. Mazi King Onuigbo’s participation in that disruption can be viewed via this link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&NR=1&v=f5mNjp-ddvk

MAZI KING EZE ONUIGBO
MAZI KING EZE ONUIGBO



Mazi King Eze Onuigbo is still in detention at Colnbrook Immigration Removal centre. The UKBA conducted his asylum interview for two days this week and he is awaiting the decision of that substantive interview. His life is increasingly in danger if removed to Nigeria because of his strong and unalloyed belief in the Actualisation Mof Sovereign State of Biafra. As the Nigerian State continues to crumble from unending violence, and ethnic irredentism, Mazi King Eze Onuigbo is definitely one of such individuals that the Nigerian state would want to put in prison, or torture, if not killed because of his stance that Nigeria must dismember leading to the emergence of Sovereign State of Biafra.
Self- determination is a right and not a privilege. This engages the United Nations Convention on Civil and Political Rights. In this regard, Mazi King Eze Onuigbo is asking for his right to safety. The Nigerian government is still looking for those in the United Kingdom who participated in the disruption of the ‘Nigeria Heart of Africa’ project in which they sought to project to the world that Nigeria is safe environment for investment. Mazi Onuigbo together with other Biafrans proved the Nigerian government otherwise by showing the world that Nigeria is thriving on heinous massive human rights abuses and among others against the Biafrans who believe in actualisation of the Sovereign state of Biafra.
Furthermore, Mazi Onuigbo is a leader and not an ordinary member of a number of pro-Biafra organizations in the UK. He is a member of Biafra Liberation in Exile (BILIE); the current president of the Good Shepherd Movement and former Chairman of Biafra Liberation League/MASSOB INTERNATIONAL.
