We’ll return armed to Enugu Govt House, says Biafra group

The Leader of the Biafra Zionist Federation (BZF), Ben Onwuka, the group which claimed responsibility for last weekend’s attack on the Enugu State Government House, has vowed to stage another attack –this time with a well armed team.

Ben Onwuka also warned against any attempt to arrest him as a result of the activities of his movement, which, he said, is also to be extended to Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Onwuka said he feared no arrest, but added his arrest would spell doom for Nigeria.

He spoke with reporters on telephone from his undisclosed hideout.

The British trained lawyer said since they operated for four hours at the Government House without any weapon and could not be arrested, it would be bloody this time around if attempts were made to arrest them.

Reiterating that the group’s aim is to reclaim Biafra’s independence, he admonished that the Nigerian authorities should be cautious in the way they go after them because the world powers were behind their actions. But he did not name the world powers.

“We are going again to the Government House, Enugu. This time around, we will be fully armed. We must take our headquarters from Nigeria,” Onwuka threatened.

The group on March 8 stormed the Government House, Enugu to hoist the Biafran flag. They were beaten by security agents.
