Leader of
the Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM), the group that has assumed leadership of the
struggle for the Independence of Biafra, Mr. Ben Onwuka, was arrested yesterday
in Enugu alongside about 400 BZM members as they were marching round the Enugu
metropolis re-declaring Biafra as a sovereign state. The leader of the group
was addressing a large crowd of Biafra faithful at the open field in the Coal
Camp area of the town when he was arrested.
The group, which displayed flags of Biafra, United States, Israel
and other world powers were intercepted by the police led by the Divisional
Police Officer (DPO), Enugu Central Police Station, Mr. Ike Mba at Akwatta.
Over 50 police trucks soon arrived the scene to whisk away the BZM members, who
were excited with the declaration and who continued to chant Biafra songs even
as they were being taken away by the police. They were later charged to court
and remanded in prison custody.
But come to think of it, if police is this active in making
arrests, we won’t be talking about negotiating with Boko Haram.
