Apress statement issued by Mazi Chris Mocha, the director of information, reads in part: "On September 13, 1999, following the formal inauguration of MASSOB on September 9, 1999, by the Igbo national council of chiefs, the movement embarked on its first public rally in Lagos which was of course based on the principle of non-violence and non-exodus."
