Nigerian Lawyers Seek Closed Door Trial For Biafran Secessionists

The Federal Government has applied for closed-door trial in the treason charge against Benjamin Onwuka, a lawyer and 11 others, members of the Biafra Zionist Federation, a group campaigning for the secession of eastern Nigeria from Nigeria. The excised territory will be declared as Biafra, like the one declared 48 years ago.

At a resumed hearing on Tuesday at the Federal High Court, Enugu, the prosecuting counsel, Mr David Kaswe, prayed the court to exclude members of the public from further hearing on the matter.
Kaswe said that the application when granted would enable his remaining witnesses to testify in the matter.

He said two of his witnesses that had yet to testify in the matter were not disposed to doing that in the public as they had received threats to their life.
