Biafra Zionist Movement Claims Responsibility of Invading Enugu Govt House

Pro-Biafra group, Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM) has claimed responsibility for last Saturday’s invasion of Enugu State Government House. According to its leader, Barrister Benjamin Onwuka, members of his group took control of the Enugu State seat of power for about four hours after they successfully hoisted the flag of the Republic of Biafra and some banners at the main gate.

 

He claimed responsibility for the invasion, which he said was primarily to reclaim the old headquarters of the former Biafra Republic.

Onwuka dismissed speculations that the group was sponsored by some politicians in Enugu State explaining that the major target of the BZM members was to hoist the Biafran flag as a symbol of rebirth of the defunct Biafra Republic.

He said that members of the group who were not armed, were in the Government House from 3 am to 7am before soldiers dislodged them, insisting that they accomplished their mission.
