REVEALS DATE FOR REFERENDUM IN IGBO LAND
The Biafra Nations Youth League,
BNYL, has disclosed that referendum activities would commence on November 6 in the
South-East.
BNYL leader, Princewill Obuka, made
the disclosure in a terse statement sent to DAILY POST, on Wednesday.
Obuka also berated Justice Binta
Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court for threatening to withdraw from the
ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Recall that the trial judge, who was
infuriated by some applications filed by Kanu’s counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor during
yesterday’s trial had threatened to hands-off the
matter.http://dailypost.ng/2017/10/17/biafra-may-withdraw-nnamdi-kanus-case-justice-nyako/
Ejiofor was speaking on a motion he
planned to bring before the court, but whose content was not listed by the
judge.
The judge, while reacting to Ejiofor,
said she had been pushed to the brink by the defendant’s counsel and would
recuse herself.
“If you don’t want me to continue in this matter, I will recuse myself,” she had said.
“If you don’t want me to continue in this matter, I will recuse myself,” she had said.
However, the BNYL leader berated the
trial judge for issuing such threat.
Obuka, who also denied knowledge of
Kanu’s whereabouts said the “judge is expected to move the court and cause
proper investigation to ascertain whether he is being held truly by the
Military or in hiding.”
Obuka further reiterated the body’s
commitment to the Biafran actualization struggle.
“Referendum activities would commence
after the event on November 6 marking the death of Late Philip Effiong, who
signed Biafra surrender,” he claimed.
