Governors of the South East states rose from their meeting in Enugu yesterday with a condemnation of last Thursday's invasion of Enugu State Broadcasting Service, ESBS, by members of the pro-Biafra group, Biafra Zionist Federation.

The governors were reacting to the invasion of the broadcasting house by BZM in which a police sergeant and a member of the group were killed.

Leader of the group and London-trained lawyer, Benjamin Igwe Onwuka, and 12 members of the group were arrested and now in police custody.

Briefing newsmen at the end of the meeting held at Enugu Government House, Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and Abia State Governor, Dr Theodore Orji, said the forum condemned the attempt by the Biafra Zionist, which attempted to seize Enugu State Radio, after an earlier attempt to hoist Biafran flag at Government House, Enugu. - http://allafrica.com/stories/201406090814.html
