‘I Will Declare A Biafra Republic On January 1’

The founder and leader of Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM) Benjamin Onwuka has said that a Biafra republic will become a reality on January 1, 2020, under his leadership.

Benjamin Onwuka, a Barrister, born and brought up in Enugu, went to University of Nigeria Nsukka.

The pro-Biafra leader served under the leadership of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), before breaking out to form his own group.

Meanwhile, recall that Onwuka was arrested on August 20, 2018 by security operatives attached to the Enugu State Government House and was kept incommunicado for several months. But following several calls and protests against his arrest, he was subsequently transferred to Owerri Prisons from where he was released on July 1, 2019.
