13 supporters of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) have
approached the Abuja Magistrate court demanding their release from Keffi prison.
The men, led by a certain Agbo Moses were arrested on December
2, by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) during a protest at the Magistrate Court.
According to the counsel for the 13 men, I. C. Ejiofor, his
clients issued the petition, following the courts remand order to the NPF
requesting it to arraign them on December 17.
“When the police arrested the 13 men; they approached the Magistrate
court for an order to have them remanded in prison.”
“In that order, the Magistrate court asked that they be
produced in court on December 17”.
He therefore noted that his clients have issued the petition
with reference number, CR/132/2015, to demand their release from prison once
they are arraigned.
The 13 IPOB agitators are: Agbo Moses, Oruna Okechukwu, Ede Uchenna, Ede Emeka, Chidi Ogo, Ani Chukwuemeka, Ezenwankwo Obumneme, Chukwunonso Ekwonu, Anioke
Charity, Oko Ugochi, Adibe
Dorathy, Aluma Samuel, and Ochor Chigozie.
