The Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), Colonel Kayode Are (retired), has revealed that the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) now has over 2 million members. The SSS boss made this statement while speaking at a workshop organised by the Nigerian Press Council. He also lambasted the media for making the movement and other such organisations popular. However, his allegation was challenged by media practitioners at the event, who argued that if the SSS had been alive to its responsibility of safeguarding Nigeria internally, such groups would not have gained the foothold they now have.
