An Enugu East Magistrates Court presided by Magistrate A. N. Chioke has remanded 140 members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra over an alleged treason.
The offence was said to be punishable under Sect. 516 of the Criminal Code CAP C38, Laws of Federal Republic of Nigeria 2004 as applicable in Enugu State.One of the defense counsels, Osita Abalu, applied for their bail on the grounds that there was no evidence to back up the charge. Mr Abalu said though the offence for which the defendants were charged was punishable with life imprisonment, Section 88 of the ACJL, the Magistrates Court was qualified to grant bail.
Mr Okeke said the defendants were arrested on their way to a burial and wondered how that could translate to over throwing the government. Mr Okeke said the prosecution deliberately brought the matter to the Magistrates Court just to punish them.
Ok nah we are watching
Presidency game, can they! Political n politics. We should remember Ken Saro Wiwa case. It increase enemity
For protesting against injustice?
If this type arrest was made when killer Fulani herdsmen were slitting throats many of their victims in grave now would have still be alive
I would love to know the details of the overthrow plot.
Not PDP anymore na them IPOB now
President Muhammadu Buhari is in Abuja, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is in Enugu while the defendants were arrested in Nsukka,” 'How then do you accuse these people of wanting to overthrow the government of a Fulani man.' What a country,what a joke.
Unity not built on Justice and Equity is like a house whose to foundation is on sand. Nothing last forever!
Clowns everywhere. Nigeria is a comic relief
Ha! How paranoid can you get. What exactly is giving these people this level of jitters? The whole world is plotting to overthrow buhari. Is he the first president in nigeria?
Overthrow Buhari? ? With ply cards and without arms? Is laughable! !!
Why do I find this funny 😂😂😂😂😂 Las Las Buhari no get sense ooo 😃
This old directionless man is playing the tribal card and he’s not hiding it.
Adufe_ga May God save us from the government of Muhammadu Buhari
Thank God it is an alleged.
Equity doesn't go to the indolent! It's the LAW! Appeal to vacate it or remain in breach, and face the consequences! GrowUp!
Fiulani herdsmen is not a terrorist group? IPOB that’s asking for their freedom is now terrorist group. Goverment of APC full of lawlessness.
Buhari is a dick
Why Those killing threatening Nigerians are walking freely Nigerians Indivisibility is an illusion Nigeria must Separate one day and that they must come What is One Nigeria in Nigeria?
They are a terrorist organization period.
I hope Igbo leader should speak up now
In the same year FG released 'repentant' BH members
I am flabbergasted seeing this: They should be charged for treasonable felony, which is a big offence, and attract big penalty. Firing squads is the best option!
Shame on this govt
Bokoharam are being freed while armless IPOB are planning to overthrow Buhari? What an interesting times
This is hilarious
Hmmmm! See news
Speechless.
And there is no news anywhere of Fulani terrorists being arraigned.
If you still have conscience...
FG forever chasing shadows
Bring back your Man first...
