Police Parade Arrested Biafran Group Members Who Tried to Declare Biafra Yesterday in Enugu

A set of the Biafra Zionist Movement members, BZM, led by Barrister
Benjamin Onwuka, who yesterday launched an attack on the Enugu State
Broadcasting Service, ESBS, has been released.

According to reports, Onwuka, a United Kingdom-based lawyer, armed
with a CD Rom for a broadcast to declare a "Republic of Biafra", had
yesterday, as early as 4:30am, sneaked his members, numbering about
20, into the premises of the radio station where he intended to
broadcast the rebirth of the Republic of Biafra.

They had chased out the security men and entered the studio where they
met a handful of employees who were on night shift. But because the
radio station was going through challenges, every gadget was switched
off. They were on the verge of forcing some technical employees to
switch on the gadgets when they were stopped by a four-man police
patrol team who stormed the scene. A gun battle ensued and in the
process, a police sergeant and a member of the group lost their lives
while a police inspector was injured.

Police sources said Onwuka and 12 members of his group who were
paraded were arrested by a team of security operatives who gave them a
hot chase while they were trying to escape into Independence Layout of
the Coal City.

It would be recalled that same group had claimed responsibility for
the attack on Government House, Enugu on March 8 holding the place to
ransom for nearly four hours.
