4 Pro-biafra Agitators To Face Trial In Umuahia by Bengist247(m): 4:47pm On May 31, 2016
The Police in Abia on Tuesday, May 29, said four pro-Biafra activists arrested during the celebration of Biafra Day on Monday, May 30, in Umuahia would be charged to court.

This was disclosed by Ezekiel Onyeke, the police command spokesman in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Umuahia.

According to Onyeke, the suspects would be arraigned on Wednesday, June 1.
He said: “Those arrested were in Umuahia and no arrest was made in Aba but l cannot ascertain the charge levelled against them. The charge sheet will be made available in court.

“The activists will be transferred from the Central Police Station, where they were detained, to Zone 9 Command, Umuahia.

“The zonal command had been handling similar Biafran cases and the zonal legal department will prepare the charge against them.

“This command will no longer treat the activities of the group with `kid gloves’ because you cannot have another sovereign state in a sovereign country.”

Onyeke also warned that the command would henceforth clampdown on any group that threatened the peace in any part of the state. Pro-Biafra agitators had assembled at a church for a prayer session to commemorate the declaration of the defunct republic.

However, the celebration of Biafran Day in memory of Late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu turned sour as the pro-Biafra agitators were dispersed by a detachment of armed police men with teargas, which led to stampede, death and arrest of some members of the group.

Are Niger Delta militias also a 'bunch' of brainwashed individuals?

What's the name of the judge? Were Scottish and Catalunya seperatists arrested and jailed for asking a different country. Even Buhari knows the country is useless and made Zahra and her siblings have British and other nations passports but some ignorant zombies are here fighting for buhari's one nigeria and abusing IPOB. Very iddiotic set of humanoids!
