US sends attorneys to probe Biafra agitators’ killing


Two United States Attorneys, Bruce Fein and Bruce DelValle of ‎Fein& DelValle PPLC, met with ten Nigerian witnesses on the suit filed in the United States District court of Columbia against 14 Nigerian defendants for their alleged involvement in the 2016 alleged torture and extra-judicial killings of pro Biafran agitators during their peaceful protests.

The two attorneys, who stormed Nigeria three days ago met with the families of the victims at an undisclosed location and also extracted various statements from them which were deposed as affidavits of facts to the suit.

Ten Biafran plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars ‎as damages to compensate for their grievous losses and suffering following the alleged gruesome killings of pro Biafra agitators in Nkpor and Onitsha , Anambra State and Aba, Abia State in 2016 during the peaceful demonstration for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
