This was just as lead counsel to the Pro-Biafra women said he will take legal action against the Imo State Police command for illegal detention of the women

George Onyejiuwa, Owerri

The Owerri Magistrate court 3 erupted in jubilation yesterday following the acquittal of the 127 Women Pro-Biafra protesters who had been remanded in prison custody a week ago for their participation in what the Imo State Police Command termed public protest without valid police permit.

This was just as the lead counsel of the Pro-Biafra women, Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said he will take legal action against the Imo State Police command for illegal arrest and detention of the women.

After listening to the application brought by the state Director of Public Prosecution, Matthew Ijezie, the presiding magistrate S.K. Kadurumba struck out the case and promptly granted total acquittal to the 127 women who have been in the prison custody for over a week following their arrest during the pro-Biafra protest.

However, the lead counsel of the Pro-Biafra women in his application requested that the two vehicles which were earlier impounded by the Police should be released and was promptly granted by the Magistrate.

Speaking to journalists, he said that they will file a legal action against the Imo state police command for illegal arrest and detention of the Pro-Biafra Women who he said were deprived of their personal liberty.

“We are going to file a legal action against the Imo state police command for illegal arrest and detention of the Pro-Biafra women who had embarked on a peaceful protest but were attacked with tear gas and brutalised by the operatives of the Imo State police. So, we already knew that the charges of terrorism and treason preferred against them cannot be sustained and when the DPP made the application to discontinue the case, we did not oppose the application because it is not necessary”.

Also, the Director of Public Prosecution, said that their main reason for coming to court was to advise for that the case should be discontinued the matter as there are no enough evidence to continued with the matter.

“We are in court this afternoon to tell the court to discontinue with the case based on the fact that there are no sufficient evidence of act of terrorism and treason preferred against the detained women and as the DPP who is representing the Attorney-General of the state I had to advise as earlier sought by the Magistrate”.

It would be recalled that the arrest and remand of the women had caused angst across the state.

    Freedom of every Igbo man or woman is only under Biafra Republic of south east in Disintegrated Republics of the natives which must be defended with the Sword in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun. It is Revolution with the Sword. It is Revolution with the Sword under the natives Disintegrated Republics. It is Revolutionary Militant Groups- RMG etc. formation which its members are the new military, police etc. under the natives Disintegrated Republics- Biafra Republic of south east, Niger Delta Republic of south south, Oduduwa Republic of south west, North East Republic, North West Republic, North Central Republic. The war front is Sokoto- the last bastion of fulani fraudulent criminal sultanate political government with its emirates and their brainwashed terrorism mercenaries nickname military, police etc. controlled by British bandits and fraudulent criminal America with their fraudulent criminal UN of 20th century world international order. Any individual or group which do not join the Revolution now under the natives Disintegrated Republics in this final conquest of the Liberation Revolutionary Warfare of the natives which is the conquest of Sokoto which has begun, do not belong to Igbos of south east of Biafra Republic, do not represent Igbos of south east of Biafra Republic in Disintegrated Republics of the natives. God given Victory is the natives. Only the Sword decides. God Is With Us!!!

    Whoever gave order to arrest and detain these innocent Igbo women will die unsung and unwept like a flower in its bloom.
    Up in the northern region of nigeria the mother of the leader of Boko Haram abubakar Shekau the most dangerous terrorist in the world is enjoying freedom and often times invited to presidential Villa by buhari. Up there in the north they have a woman called Mama Boko Haram . Jealousy protected by the nigerian army. ,
    Buhari , with this arrest and detention of these Igbo women you have completely destroyed your electoral fortunes in Igboland. Come 2019 you will know how much NDIGBO hate you.
