Biafra: Release Onwuka’s corpse to us – Zionists tell Nigerian Government

Members of the Biafra Zionists Federation, BZF, have again made claims
that its leader, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka is dead.

We reports that Onwuka was arrested alongside his members on Monday
August 20 as they attempted to enter the Enugu Government House for
the purpose of inauguration of Biafra.

However, while his followers were freed same evening, Onwuka has not
been heard of ever since.

In a press statement issued Friday morning by the Deputy Leader of the
group, Mazi Ambrose Ugwu, he said every effort they had made to
ascertain the whereabouts of their leader had been unfruitful.

Ugwu said "from all indications, our leader, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka has
been killed by security forces.

"We have been at the DSS Enugu office for several times but they are
silent on the matter. The very first day others were released, they
even told us that Onwuka too was released. But it turned out to be a
hoax.

"For the past four days, we have gone there to at least give him food,
but they refused us entry. So, based on the above situations, we have
no further doubt that he has been killed.

"We are now urging the International Community, especially the United
States and Israel to prevail on the Nigerian Government to release his
corpse to us for a decent burial. He deserves to be accorded such
burial in the light of his struggle for the people.

"The Buhari's Government should direct whoever is holding the corpse
to release it to the Zionists' family to enable us pay our last
respect to him.

"However, we must also decry a situation where the Nigerian Security
Forces are turning their arms against harmless freedom fighters
whereas armed herdsmen are walking the streets unhindered. Nobody has
ever seen any Zionist with a matchet, let alone a gun.

"It is, therefore, the apex of oppression that we are being subjected
to this level of intimidation because we are asking for freedom, which
we are doing in line with all international laws and conventions."

"No form of intimidation will, however, make us to to drop our right
for self-determination. We can't be forced to remain in a country
where there is no justice and equity.

"The disparity in handling killer herdsmen and Biafra agitators is a
case in point. While the former is receiving kingly treatment, despite
killing thousands of Nigerians, the latter are being subjected to all
manner of torture for being civil in their approach," he further
lamented.
