Police Arrest Biafra Times Publisher, 9 Others For Alleged Sedition by Gerald620: 8:02am On Jan 31, 2017
The police in Lagos on Monday said they had
arrested the publisher of Biafra Times and nine
others for allegedly publishing and circulating
seditious and malicious publication.
Parading the 10 suspects, the Lagos State Police
Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni , said 515 copies
of the offending newspaper were recovered
during a raid on the printing press in Shomolu ,
Lagos .
“ The printing press has been shut and the
environment is being monitored . This is an
offence punishable under the Criminal Law of
Lagos State , ” Owoseni said .
He added that the suspects would be charged to
court as soon as detectives finished
interrogating them.
The arrested publisher , however, told
journalists that he had no intention to promote
disunity and disharmony among Nigerians .
“ I love my country and I love my President . My
intention is not to fight my country; I just want
to pass out information to those who have no
access to the Internet.
“ I usually go on the Internet to source for
information and publish . I have other papers
on sports and social life which I publish , ’’ he
said .
The prime suspect said he had been publishing
for the past eight years but only specialised in
Biafra Times three months ago .
“ I decided to specialise on Biafra Times when I
discovered it is always a sell- out anytime we
published stories about eastern parts of the
country.
“ Sometimes , I go to newspaper vendors and
hear people requesting for Biafra Times .
