Lagos-based lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has urged a Federal High Court in Lagos to order the immediate release of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra who are being allegedly detained unlawfully by the Federal Government.
In a suit he filed on Thursday, Adegboruwa accused the Federal Government of trampling on the constitutional rights of the pro-Biafran protesters to freedoms of expression, assembly and association.
He is urging the court to restrain the Federal Government and its agents from further interfering with activities of the pro-Biafran protesters and unleashing terror on them.
The lawyer wants the court to declare that the pro-Biafran protesters are “entitled to assemble together in any part of the country, for the purpose of demanding for self determination, without any permit or licence.”
