Over 60 members of the pro-Biafran movement, IPOB, have been freed after spending about five months in prison custody in Owerri, Imo State.
Their lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who confirmed this to PREMIUM TIMES, Friday, said they were freed on February 1, after the Chief Judge of Imo State, Ijeoma Agugua, granted them bail.
Mr Ejiofor said the 67 IPOB members were “unlawfully” thrown into prison since last year, after their arraignment in a magistrate court which, he said, refused to listen to their application for bail, about four times.
