Nice move even though like atiku's court case. The judgement has already been written and passed against chido, but at least he fought for his dignity. And will be respected for that. And next time Dss will have to be on their Toes. I wont even be a bit Suprised if they still re-arrest and charge him for treason. I have spoken as a man i do not expect non-Biafrans to think like me share my views, its called "freedom to hold opinion". if you think otherwise, and you are from the "waist" i hold no Grudge
