IPOB: Court Frees Over 100 Protesting Women Arrested By Police In Imo

 

   A State High Court in Owerri has released the over 100 women arrested by the police in Imo State.  The court discharged and acquitted the women on Friday, four days after they were remanded in prison for allegedly taking part in a protest by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The ruling followed a bail application filed by the lead counsel to the defendants, Ejiofor Uche, which was not opposed as the plaintiff, Imo State Police Command, had no representation in court.
   The court, thereafter, granted the bail application and discharged the women unconditionally.
