Court Unconditionally Frees 114 Biafran Women Arrested By Police In Imo

A State High Court in Owerri has released 114 women of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, arrested by the police in Imo State.

The court discharged and acquitted the women on Friday, four days after they were remanded in prison.

The ruling followed a bail application filed by the lead counsel to the defendants, Ejiofor Uche, which was not opposed as the plaintiff, Imo State Police Command, had no representation in court.

The court, thereafter, granted the bail application and discharged the women unconditionally.

The women were arrested after they participated in a peaceful protest in Owerri to know the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Following their arrest, they were remanded by a Magistrate’s Court in the state’s capital when they were arraigned on.
