Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM) has claimed responsibility for the Saturday attack on the Enugu State Government House.
The leader of the group, Barrister Benjamin Onwuka disclosed this today during a press briefing at the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Press Centre, Enugu, boasting that members of his group took control of the Enugu State seat of power for about four hours after they successfully hoisted the flag of the Republic of Biafra and some banners at the main gate.
Onwuka stated the invasion of the government house was a symbolic move to reclaim the old headquarters of the former Biafra Republic.
He however, dismissed speculations that the group was sponsored by some politicians in Enugu State explaining that the major target of the BZM members was to hoist the Biafran flag as a symbol of rebirth of the defunct Biafra Republic.
He said that members of the group who were not armed, were in the Government House from 3 am to 7am before soldiers dislodged them, insisting that they accomplished their mission.
He, however, warned that Nigeria should vacate the Biafra territory before March 31, 2014 or risk a bloody war, disclosing that his group had concluded plans to take over total control of Biafra land from April 1.
