IPOB dismisses claims of Kanu’s family, insists Ozekhome, Ejiofor not sacked

21st Jun 2023 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has debunked what it described as fallacious and fabricated statement being peddled in the media that its lead counsel, Prof Mike Ozekhome, SAN, and Bar Ifeanyi Ejiofor have been dismissed as part of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s legal representatives.

It warned those spreading such rumour to desist from that, saying that both IPOB and Kanu that engaged the legal luminaries, are very confident in their legal prowess.

Stating this in a statement by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said: “It’s laughable for someone to go on social media and announce the sacking of some people he did not hire. What stupidity!

“Biafrans and lovers of Biafra freedom across the world should ignore the purported statement from the so-called brothers of our leader because Mazi Nnamdi KANU regards IPOB members as his brothers and sisters.

“The legal representation contract between IPOB/Mazi Nnamdi KANU and Prof. Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Sir Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor are still intact. They are not Kanu’s family lawyers but IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi KANU’s lawyers.

“We encourage our lead counsels and other members of the legal team not to be distracted or discouraged in their fight for the unconditional release of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from DSS dungeon as the Courts have ordered.

“The agenda of IPOB and MNK’s enemies is to get the lead counsels angry and abandon Mazi Nnamdi KANU. Their agenda is dead on arrival as the lead counsels are not amateur to intimidation and blackmail.

“Mazi Nnamdi KANU once said publicly, “In this Biafra struggle, I have no brothers and no sisters except IPOB members.” Therefore, any so-called brother claiming of speaking for Mazi Nnamdi KANU in DSS dungeon is making a jest of himself. Mazi Nnamdi KANU is not in detention because of his family but because of Biafran’s freedom.

“Everybody must be careful because Mazi Nnamdi KANU has gone beyond Kanu’s family. He is a leader and the face of Biafra. He is a national asset for Biafrans and must be protected from wolverine and jackals.”
