Breaking:biafra Group Strikes In Enu,attempt To Seize TV Station,kill Policemen?

"Members of Biafra Zionist Movement, BZM a
Pro-Biafra group, led by Barrister Benjamin
Onwuka have launched another attack in
Enugu.
No fewer than 20 members of the group on
Thursday, June 5 at about 6a.m launched
an attack on the Enugu State Broadcasting
Service, ESBS, attempting to make a live
broadcast but they were stopped by a four-
man police patrol team who stormed the
scene.
A gun battle was said to have ensued
between the Pro Biafra group and the
security operatives and in the process, a
police sergeant and a member of the group
lost their lives while a police inspector was
injured.
Heavily armed mobile policemen drafted to
the place reportedly arrived after the BZM
members escaped the scene.
According to an eyewitness, two members
of the group were later arrested while some
passersby were apprehended for
questioning.
Onwuka's mission to the state television
house was to make a live broadcast having
declared himself leader of the new Biafran
Republic last year.
However, police sources revealed shortly
after today's incident that Onwuka and 12
members of his group have been arrested
by a team of security operatives who gave
them a hot chase while they were trying to
escape into Independence Layout of the
Coal City.
Meanwhile the State Police Spokesman, Mr.
Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, has said he is
assessing the situation and would formally
brief the media later.
It would be recalled that same group had
claimed responsibility for the attack on
Government House, Enugu on March 8
holding the place to ransom for nearly four
hours.
After the attack,
they threatened to stage another attack
and this time with a well armed team, which
would be extended to Owerri, the Imo State
capital."
