ounsel was indisposed.

Omotayo said the freedom of his clients was being toyed with by the Attorney-General.

He said: “We are surprised that he is not here today; if he knew that he would not be disposed to come from Abuja, he should hand over the case file to another counsel in their zonal office here in Enugu.

“During the bail application, a counsel was coming from the AG’s zonal office in Enugu; so, I’m surprised that the person is no longer appearing in the court.

“I am praying the court that if they did not appear on the next date, the case should be closed while they allow us to open our defence.”

Members of the BZF present in court left with mournful looks, accusing the Federal Government of a deliberate plan to stifle a non-violent organisation.

One of them, who pleaded anonymity, said: “President Jonathan should free these innocent freedom fighters before he leaves office.

“It is so bad that they have continued to keep them in detention, even when activities of BZF are still within international charters and conventions.”

The case was adjourned to May 19 for continuation of hearing.
