Leader of the pro-Biafran group, Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM), Benjamin Onwuka yesterday faulted the Enugu state Police Commissioner, Mohammed Adamu over his claim that last Saturday’s attack of the Enugu Government Houser was carried out by members of the outlawed Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), saying it was actually his group that carried out the operation.
Barrister Onwuka who
addressed a news conference at the NUJ, Press Centre, Enugu said contrary to media reports, the invasion of the Enugu seat of power was ostensibly to hoist the flag of the Republic of Biafra at the Government House which he said is the headquarters of the old headquarters of the defunct Biafran Republic and not to either attack or abduct Governor Sullivan Chime.
He noted that his group succeeded in their mission as they not only hoisted the flag and some banners as the symbol of the rebirth of Biafra but took control of the Government House for four hours before they were dislodged by some security operatives
