Moments
after being denied bail, three pro-Biafra agitators, Chidiebere Onwudiwe,
Benjamin Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi, who are standing trial alongside the
Director
of Radio Biafra and Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu,
on Thursday, December 1, showed their true Biafran spirit.
As they made
their way out of court, the three men fearlessly kept shouting “Biafra or
Death, we are not Nigerians don’t call us Nigerians,” in front of DSS agents,
prison officials and their supporters.
This was
after the Trial Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Division of the Federal High
Court, declined to release the detained Nnamdi Kanu, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, Benjamin
Madubugwu and David Nwawuisi on bail, citing the determination of an 11-count
criminal charge the federal government had preferred against them.
While being
led out of the court premises for Kuje prison, the trio of Onwudiwe, Madubugwu
and Nwawuisi strongly told the operatives to stop calling them Nigerians but to
call them Biafrans, adding that Nigeria is a fraud.
Meanwhile,
President Muhammadu Buhari has put an end to the issue of Biafra, insisting
that the country will not break-up. In a statement by Garba Shehu who is the
senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Buhari was
quoted as saying focus should be on development.
The
president made this comment on Thursday, December 1 while at a meeting with the
Council of South-East Traditional Rulers at the State House.
