AFederal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted a leave to South-East groups that applied to be joined as parties to the suit filed by the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) seeking a referendum for an independent state of Biafra.

The trial judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, granted the prayer on Friday as contained in the motion on notice filed by the interested parties to be joined in the suit.

The judge therefore joined the parties as 6, 7and 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 defendants respectively.
The judge also gave the applicants 14 days to file and serve amended processes on the defendants.
He therefore adjourned the matter to October 20, 2022, for mention.
The Igbo groups’ lead counsel, Victor Onwaremadu, while addressing journalists said, “My prayer is that they should allow the citizens of this country to conduct referendum to determine whether they will continue in this country as on entity or whether they will go on their separate way. That is our main prayer in this suit.
“The Northerners are here, the Westerners are here and all the regions and my Lord accepted the application to join in the suit.”
Recall that a suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/538/2021, was filled in June last year by the plaintiffs and leaders of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), including Nastura Ashir Shariff, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, Balarabe Rufa’i and Aminu Adam.
They joined the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami; Senate President, Ahmad Lawan; the Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and the National Assembly as defendants.

Dividing along religious lines like Pakistan and Indian would have been the best approach.
So that when any is in the north you know what to expect and if you are in the south, you know what to expect.

South East can not be part of Nigeria again,

If Nigeria refuse to let the easterners go in peace, then they must be forced to let go,

Which ever way na person go die.

But last last Biafra go leave

tamdun:
We are too divers in this country

Buckeyemedia1:
Bakassi Biafra is already in Cameroon, can you tell us why you were left behind?

Emergingnation3:
Ab0ki , grow up and learn to how stand alone, stop being leeches.

Buckeyemedia1:
Talking of leeches nothing you riff rafts do to add any value to Nigeria.

The lazy ones & Empty Barrels like Yourself emergingnation3, will always make the loudest noise, like I said initially who stopped your parents from carrying you along to Bakassi Biafra when it was annexed to Cameroon?

Buckeyemedia1:
You say Nigeria is diverse? What a joke.

I wonder what a myopic naive person like you would say, if you were given the opportunity to visit the United States?

Emergingnation3:
Lol ! We ain't adding any Value, yet you've been dying fighting to keep us in this contraption, against our every will since time immemorial .

Empty barrel that's given your Jihadist government and their unity begging goons sleepless nights..
