Two pro-Biafran groups, Bilie Human Rights
Initiative and Biafra Alliance (Australia) have
presented a joint petition and summary of
the ongoing court case instituted against
the Federal Government to the Australian
government. In a meeting organised by
Biafra Alliance (Australia), in conjunction
with Radio Biafra, London, in Canberra,
Australia recently, the groups said the
petition was part of the sensitisation
programme aimed at highlighting the
sufferings of Southeastern Nigerians at
home.
It was gathered that the pro-Biafran groups
were represented by four-man delegation
led by Nnamdi Kanu, Director of Radio Biafra,
London, who travelled from United Kingdom
to Australia; Mazi Okezie Oguh, the leader of
Biafra Alliance (Australia) and two others.
The Australian government, it was learnt,
was represented by high-ranking officials in
the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
situated at the R.G. Casey Building, on John
McEwen Crescent Barton, Canberra, who
received the written submission. According
to one of those who attended the meeting,
Okezie Oguh, the move is “a new approach
in the agitation for Biafra, which includes
building meaningful international relations
and exploitation of new media techniques.”
He said that this is the beginning of the new
phase of the struggle, “as Biafrans all over
the world will be encouraged through Radio
Biafra worldwide broadcast to lobby the
governments of the country of their
residence to lend tangible support to the
peaceful and democratic agitation for
Biafra.” Meanwhile, the case instituted by
Bile Human Rights Initiative against the
Federal Government resumes on June 25.
When the case came up on April 30, the
judge had adjourned to June, when it would
determine the motion by the Federal
Government challenging the competence of
the suit. Counsel to the Federal Government,
Sola Abenla, had argued on April 30 that the
suit by the pro-Biafran group was
incompetent and a misnomer. He stated that
the group, which instituted the suit, was not
a legal entity. The lawyer further said that
the pro-Biafra group filed an amendment
with another name, after they were served
with preliminary objection, adding that the
amendment was a fundamental error, which
is a breach of the Rule 17 of the court and,
therefore, should not be admitted.
Lawyer representing the pro-Biafran group,
Barrister C. Emeka, in his counter argument,
stated that the defence counsel had
misapplied the definition of a misnomer and
prayed the court to discountenance same.
He stated that the amendment sought was
permitted in law, while urging the judge to
go ahead to determine the suit before him.
The presiding judge, Justice S.M Shuaibu,
had adjourned further hearing on the
matter to June 25.

bigger troubles for Naija

how can people be begging to be enslaved in this 21st century, anyway i see another point to this as the slave masters pushing(advising) ignorant buffoons to ask for their enslavement.

If I understand you well, to get the nations that will support Biafra at the UN when it matters is not begging for enslavement.

It was the British support for Nigeria that dealt the heavy blow on Biafra. The New Biafra is on the march. Nigeria will be so surprised!

Will they support biafra in Biafra's interest or will they support Biafra for their own selfish interest ?
What you really don't understand is that if they will support Biafra it will be only for their own picks for leaders and when they succeed which i believe they would then Biafra will just be a mirror image of Nigeria at best or a clone of Mali.
