Lawyer to detained chieftains of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked the Federal Government to consider political solution in the case of treasonable felony preferred against Biafra agitators.
Chief Amobi Nzelu, lawyer to Mr. Benjamin Madugwu and David Nwawuisi who said efforts were on to secure out-of-court settlement said the move, if embraced, would douse the tension in the South East, especially as the government is perceived to be fighting many ‘wars’ at various fronts.
Nzelu, who also appealed to the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) to give President Muhammadu Buhari a chance for dialogue noted that both the agitations of IPOB and NDA ideologies  could not be destroyed by might or force but by “constructive persuasion or Pentecostal persuasion.”
“Anything that is settled politically, the wound heals faster. If they get them convicted and jailed, we will not achieve the issue. We will not achieve anything at all,” he said.
