The Department of State Services (DSS) has invited Mr. Nwoba Chika Nwoba, publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ebonyi State over his wedding cake which was prepared with insignia of the defunct Biafra Republic.
Mr. Nwoba and his wife, Onyinyech had surprised their guests at their wedding reception on the ground when they unveiled a cake designed in the defunct Biafra Republic flag colours.
The wedding took place on Saturday at St. Joseph Anglican church, in his country home, Ekpelu community in Ikwo LGA of the State on Saturday, June, 25, 2022. The reception also took place in the community primary school.
Confirming his invitation by DSS, Mr Nwoba, in his verified Facebook wall on Monday at about some minutes past 9p.m, wrote that the DSS, had summoned him to appear in their Abakaliki office by 12 noon tomorrow, Tuesday.
Nwoba wrote, “Got an invitation from the DSS, Abakaliki office tomorrow by 12 pm. I knew I would be invited. As a law-abiding citizen, if the road is clear tomorrow, I will honour it.”
Mr Nwoba’s invitation by the DSS may not be unconnected to his wedding cake.
Recall that the Nigerian government banned everything that’s associated with the defunct Biafra Republic after the proscription of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which is one of the foremost Igbo separatists agitating for a breakaway from the Nigerian State.
Since the prosecution of IPOB by the Nigerian government, anyone found with an item bearing Biafra insignia faces arrest and prosecution by the Nigerian government.
