The Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Umuahia, Abia State, ordered that the accused be remanded at the Afara Federal Prisons in Aba, the Nation Newspaper reports.

The IPOB members were among those arrested in the clashes with security officials which eventually led to the secessionist group being declared a terrorist organisation.

IPOB is seeking an independent Igbo country of Biafra, while its leader, Nnamdi Kanu is currently being prosecuted for alleged treason.

After the clashes in Abia which also led to the death of a police officer and burning down of a police station, the group was proscribed by the South-east governors and alter declared a terrorist organisation by a federal court following an application by the federal government.

PREMIUM TIMES had earlier reported the police statement that arrested IPOB members would be prosecuted for arson and murder.

Your pay master Tinubu doesn't agree with you that they are terrorists.

Your doing it again .. Ibo man... you are reacting to what you hear and not what people are actually doing.

That's why you could not lay low when the NA came to provoke you. You can only respond to words.

When you are faced with an action... you get confused at best you react with violence.

Now your enjoying what Tinubu says, yesterday he was your enemy.

Learn from the North (all zones), the west or the SS. The SS is a perfect case study, a once disparaged community.. today has produced a president for 6 years. The SS holds the CBN and ministry of petroleum resources, and heading to 20% derivation formula. Without a single anti-Nigerian chant. Wisdom truly is the gift of the gods.

So Emefiele is no longer Ibo. Today it's convenient to call him SS man, tomorrow when it's no longer convenient, he reverts back to being an Ibo man, just like Nzeogwu a SS conveniently.

Governor Ortom is a northerner, but is he Hausa
Governor Lalong is a northerner, but Is he Hausa
Tuface is a northerner but Is he Fulani.
Kwara Is a predominantly Yoruba speaking state but are they westerners?
Wike and Rotimi speak a variant of Ibo but are they Ibo.
I speak English, would you refer to me as an Englishman.

This dilemma of Nzoegwu's identity lies in the inescapable facts which color the first coup in Nigeria as Ibo. Same way the second was identified as northern.

In regards to the SS "the golden goose" you need to aks yourself .. does the end justify the means. The SS has come a long way, remember they also suffered marginalization in two situations; under Biafra and under the military/civilian rule.

Wisdom truly is the gift of the gods. The universe will continue to give you the same lesson until you learn.
