Biafra: 21 agitators allegedly detained for 10 years without trial

A pro-Biafra group named Biafra National Guard (BNG), has claimed that 21 of its members, have been in continued detention since 2017 without trial, The Sun reports.
BNG has now petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Salami (SAN).
Those alleged to be in detention are: Innocent Orji, Sabastine Amadi, Casmir Odakara, Ojemba Anyanwu, Eni Kalu, Ndubisi Okam, Ikechukwu Chikwem, Emmanuel Orji, Chukwuma Kalu, Chidiebere Ezekwem and Mmaduabuchi Asika.
Others are Uche Idikaigbo, Uchenna Nicholas, Peter Igbokwe, Ikechukwu Aghara, Ama Onuh, Chukwuebuka Ikenwa, Onyekachi Orji, Okwudiri Bassey, Chima Asor and Chinwendu Irondi.
The petition reads in part: “Since 2007 till today, none of the detainees have been given audience, fair hearing, justice and judgment. We want you to investigate the DPP and Judges for their regular absence in court which has resulted in prolonged adjournments as a delay tactic to frustrate the detainees and make them languish in prisons on awaiting trial.
