Defying several warnings by Nigeria’s military, thousands of protesters took to the streets in Aba on Wednesday to demand the release of a Pro-Biafra activist who operated a pirate radio station and championed the resuscitation of Biafra, that became history in 1970.
Some 2,000 people carried placards with slogans such as “Biafra or death” and waved the Biafran flag — a golden rising sun on red, black and green.
