Uwazuruike who recently renamed the Biafran group to Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), said violence was never in the plan.
He said “We are apologizing to people of the South-east and Hausas in the region, who were affected by the protest. What they have done is violent and may even endanger the lives of many Igbos in the North.”
Adding that “During the protest, shops were closed down and houses were burnt. That behaviour has even caused people to dislike the struggle.”

Uwazuruike said those masterminding the protests are expelled members of the Biafra group.
He also chided Nnamdi Kanu for preaching hate, saying “Why must heaven fall because Nnamdi Kanu was arrested? What happened to Benjamin Oneuka who has been in prison because of Biafra?”
Chief Uwazuruike also called on the Department of Security Service (DSS) to release Kanu since the court has granted him bail.
Nnamdi Kanu was reportedly arrested by the DSS in his hotel room, at the Golden Tulip Essential Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos state.
