It gave some of the names of the detainees as: David Reuben, Onyemechi Nwanneka, Christopher Godwin, David Chukwu, Sunday Agbo, Sunday Mgbiri, Chisoba Obiekwe and Nwobodo James.
The statement partly reads, 'we want to bring to the attention of his Excellency, Governor Fayose of Ekiti State about the unlawful arrest and detention of some Igbo traders doing their legitimate businesses around Post Office, Ado Ekiti since Dec, 2016 by the agents of the state government task force. MASSOB is worried that since last year December, they have not been arraigned before any court or allowed medical attention. Every efforts to secure their release are being frustrated by Ekiti state security agents. These men are breadwinners of their respective families'.
