Enugu—ELEVEN members of pro-Biafra group,
Biafra Zionists Federation, BZF, led by Mr.
Benjamin Onwuka, yesterday, formally withdrew
the N10 million suit against the Federal
Government and the Inspector General of Police,
over alleged illegal arrest and detention on
grounds that it had been overtaken by event.
They, however, applied for bail through their
counsel, Mr. Olu Omotayo. But when the case
came up yesterday for hearing before a Federal
High Court sitting in Enugu, their bail
application could not be moved following a
counter-application by the prosecution.
Zonal Legal Officer, Federal Ministry of Justice,
Mr. E. Nwaokoro, who appeared for
prosecution, told the court he had been briefed
by his superior in Abuja to ask for a date in
January for the hearing of the bail application.
Defence counsel, Omotayo objected, saying “My
Lord, we have not been served the counter-
application, but notwithstanding, we ask for a
short date.
“We want to move the application by tomorrow.
The accused have been detained for a long time.
This is a ploy to delay the matter.”
Trail judge, Justice D. Agishi consequently
adjourned hearing on the bail application till
December 18.
Omotayo later told reporters: “We decided to
withdraw the N10 million civil suit because it
had been overtaken by event. We filed it
because they were detained without trial. So
now that they have been arraigned for trial,
there is no need for it. We withdrew it to enable
us face the criminal charge squarely.”
Accused, offence
Standing trial are Benjamin Onwuka, Ndubisi
Nnamushi, Kelvin Ekeh, Japhet Nwodo and
Fidelis Nwonu. Others are Paulinus Uzoegbu,
Sunday Chukwuma, Uduma Uduma, Bertrand
Obiekwe, Abraham Ugwu and Ijaga Samson.
The accused were said to have, on June 4 at Nike
Grammar School, Enugu, conspired and
unlawfully armed themselves with dangerous
weapons with intent to capture the Enugu State
Broadcasting Service, ESBS, Radio House and
make a live broadcast for secession of Biafra as
a nation, and thereby committed an offence
contrary to Section 37 (2) of the Criminal Code
Act LFN 2004 and punishable under the same
section of the same Act.

They are all freedom fighters

I seriously doubt that these old men were the ones shooting up Enugu state. My guess is that they are mostly relatives of the movements leader, who were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
