Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has debunked reports of the sacking of himself and Dr Mike Ozekhome as Kanu’s counsels by Kingsley Kanu, saying such notice was “defamatory, insulting and unauthorised.” Ejiofor stated these in a statement issued on Thursday evening after his visit to Nnamdi Kanu at the Headquarters of the Department of State Services in Abuja. According to him, the mischievous falsehood was spewed to ridicule and embarrass the legal team.
June 15, 2023Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has debunked reports of the sacking of himself and Dr Mike Ozekhome as Kanu’s counsels by Kingsley Kanu, saying such notice was “defamatory, insulting and unauthorised.”
But in a release, Ejiofor said, “In view of the desperate attempt of the enemies to break our rank, the legal team resolved to minimise the information that we make public through my regular updates. Therefore, you will not be receiving updates on our routine visits as regularly as it used to come, except when there is a compelling situation that demands it.
“Further to the above, my briefings with Onyendu, lasted for over one hour, during which we discussed pertinent issues concerning his legal and health matters. There was no time during the meeting that Onyendu entertained or expressed any iota of doubt whatsoever on the ability of his indefatigable legal team, ably led by Mike Ozekhome, to defend him.
“Against the backdrop of the foregoing, I wish to unequivocally state that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never dismissed, disengaged, neither has he expressed any intention of dismissing his legal team ably led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome.
“In conclusion, Onyendu further used the opportunity offered by my visit to thank Ezigbo Umuchineke for standing shoulder to shoulder with him, particularly all through this trying time. Onyendu assured Ezigbo Umuchineke once again that it shall surely end in Praises. He urges you all to remain firm, steadfast, and unrelenting in your supplications to God.
