Breaking: DSS Have Copy Of My Gun License - Benjamin Madubugwu Reveals As, IPOB Losses Hope In Nigeria Judiciary System Of Government
ABUJA— There was a heated outburst yesterday being Wednesday the 28th of March 2018 inside the court room of the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja Nigeria, by the four IPOB defendants as the court ended its proceedings without calling up their bail applications for hearing.
The court had earlier slated today to adopt the bail applications of the four defendants namely, Bright Chimezie, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Chidiebere Onwudiwe whose charges were amended at the previous session.
Visibly angered about the development, the second defendant, Benjamin Madubugwu, said he believes the case is no longer between the Federal Government of Nigeria and IPOB members but between the Fulanis and IPOB, adding that his application was deliberately delayed becausr he is a Biafran.
“I know why this is happening to me because I am an Igbo man, a Biafran, that is why it’s like this.
“All these herdsmen killing people everywhere in Nigeria, how many have been arrested? Am in prison, I’ve not seen them in prison.
“Why would someone put me in prison for 3 years without telling me my crime? How can they charge me for unlawful possession of firearms when I have license? It was duly licensed. You(DSS) have a copy of the license. Go and ask the DSS when they invaded my house, they took the copy of my gun’s license and they know, yet, they’re still keeping me hostage,” he lamented.
Madubugwu added that for over three years he has been detained without trial, the international community remained silent in his plight even as his health condition deterioriates in prison custody.
He asked, “Why is the world keeping quiet? Nobody wants to hear me out. Nobody wants to help me. Is it because we’re Biafrans? Why are we being neglected? What is my crime for Christ’s sake? I have been keeping quiet for long and I would no longer keep quiet. This is pure injustice.”
