Court Grants Idara Gold Bail
Idara George, better known as Idara Gold, is a young Biafran enthusiast from Akwai Ibom State. Two years ago, she celebrated her 20th birthday by posting pictures of herself in Biafran attire on her Facebook wall
For that, the DSS arrested her in Enugu, transferred her to DSS Headquarters Abuja, then moved her to a military Barraks in Kainji, Niger State, where she was held for 18 months without access to a Lawyer, without access to her family, and without charge.
Bear in mind that there is no law anywhere in the Nigerian constitution that bars anyone from using the Biafran flag as they wish, whether to make attire or otherwise

When the news of Idara Gold grew louder and louder, the DSS rushed Idara Gold to court and charged her with being an IPOB member. Yesterday, the high court in Abuja granted her bail. An overjoyed Idara Gold wept on her Lawyers shoulder
Regardless of if you like the Biafran agitation or not, if your democracy is one where people are arrested for posting picture, detained without charge for 18 months, denied access to Lawyers and family
Then your so called democracy is not worth the paper it is written on
