Femi Fani-Kayode: DSS vs IPOB – A night to remember in Nnewi
wyer and a member of my delegation, Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, and I were approached by the DSS and told that he must not attend the event.
I was shocked. This was a clear case of not just persecution but also guilt by association. I wondered whether being a lawyer to my friend and brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or to IPOB was now a crime? This was coupled with the fact that Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor himself insisted on abiding by their shameful directive in order to save the event. Amidst my protestations he volunteered to stay back and insisted that I still attend the proceedings and go ahead and make my speech.
Consequently I proceeded to the venue, went ahead with the speech and the full text was live-streamed on both Twitter and Facebook in real time. Millions of people listened to it from all over the world.Given all that happened on this occasion I am constrained to ask, why is Buhari so scared of his own shadow?
Worse still their shameful and overzealous behaviour only made them appear to be far more delusional, unreasonable, weak and paranoid than I already believed them to be. They included the Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, numerous members of the State House of Assembly and a representative of the Governor of Anambra state.
