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 defendants, who were brought to the court in three 608 buses and one 18-seater bus, were said to have conspired to commit treasonable felony.They were however, arraigned outside the court for about two hours as the court room could not accommodate them.The offence was said to be punishable under Sect.
Mr Okeke said the defendants were arrested on their way to a burial and wondered how that could translate to over throwing the government.“President Muhammadu Buhari is in Abuja, Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is in Enugu while the defendants were arrested in Nsukka,” he said.The counsel described the charge as trumped-up and meant to deny the defendants of their fundamental rights.Mr Okeke said the prosecution deliberately brought the matter to the Magistrates Court just to punish them.
