arraigned 45 Biafran agitators before two Chief
Magistrate Courts sitting in Port Harcourt for
treason over their alleged involvement in the
Friday agitation in Rivers State. .

The members of the IPOB and the MASSOB
had on Friday, organised a solidarity rally to
commemorate the swearing in of Donald

two counts of conspiracy to felony and
treasonable felony. The matter was adjourned
