The Rivers State Police Command said it has arraigned ten suspected
Pro Biafra protesters arrested between 16-18/01/2016 before Magistrate
Courts 7 and 14 in Port Harcourt on two count charges of criminal
conspiracy and treasonable felony.
Hearing on the cases has been adjourned till 21/01/2016 and
28/01/2016 respectively while the presiding magistrates ordered for the
suspects to be remanded in prison custody.
The suspects include Onu Ifeanyi ‘M’, Prinace Onwazor ‘M’, Princewill
Anyanywu ‘M’, Sunday Egbim ‘M’. Uzoma Onyegbu ‘M’, Chigozie Moses ‘M’,
Chukwudi Enyidau ‘M’, Anthony Ochuel ‘M’ Enam David okon ‘M’ and Friday

It would be recalled that the suspects were arrested while on their
way to infiltrate Port Harcourt from neighbouring states with the intent
to engage in a conduct likely to undermine public peace.
The Command further re-emphasize that it would not stand idly and
allow any person or group of persons to violate the laws of the country
by engaging in conducts that are perilous to public peace and order as
well as the lives and properties of other law abiding citizens.
A statement signed by the Command spokesperson, Ahmad Mohammed
enjoined residents of the state to continue to be law-abiding and shun
all forms of acts of violence and the breach of the peace.
