Nnamdi Kanu making a court appearance in Abuja
In an official statement on Friday by Emma Nmezu and Clifford
Chukwuemeka Iroanya, spokespersons of the IPOB secessionist group, the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused President Muhammadu
Buhari of bribing Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers to sabotage him.
According to an exclusive from TheCable News,
the pro-biafra group who said that the Niger Delta militants and IPOB
were fighting for the same cause, also alleged that Ifeanyi Ejiofor,
Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer had been bribed to sabotage their leader, hence
they announced the sacking of the entire team of lawyers representing
Kanu.
Below is the statement in full;
“Following the press conference earlier today by our legal
team, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Worldwide has been reliably
and incontrovertibly informed that some of the utterances of their
defence lawyers were made without consultation. These utterances border
on negotiations and some were against the Niger Delta Avengers,” they
said.
“As a result of this unsolicited and unguarded utterances, the
defence team has been sacked and will be replaced. The IPOB leader
wishes to state categorically that the only thing we are open to is
negotiations that will lead to modalities and processes to restore
Biafra and avert further hardships on the people of Nigeria who have
been under bondage since his kidnapping and illegal detention.
“The Niger Delta Avengers arose because of the inherent
injustice in Nigeria as manifested in the disregard to the rule of law
when Buhari refused to obey court order to unconditionally release our
leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
“We spoke the mind of our leader when we stated for record
purposes that IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers share the same ideology of
freedom for Biafra.
“Anybody publicly dissociating IPOB from Niger Delta Avengers
is a mortal enemy of IPOB family worldwide under the leadership of
Nnamdi Kanu. Let it be known that as long as Buhari and Daura continue
to tamper with Nnamdi Kanu‘s defence team through bribery, inducements
and intimidation, IPOB will keep on changing the team.
“For the records, the press conference by the now-sacked legal
team was about bringing to public knowledge the foolishness of the
Department of State Services (DSS) in bringing treasonable felony
charges against our leader and the lack of evidence thereof.
“The press conference was never about negotiations because
should negotiations start, IPOB will notify the world about it. Right
now, we are not negotiating and will not negotiate until existing court
orders ordering the release of Nnamdi Kanu are obeyed.
“In the interim, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor will continue to act
as lead counsel until other counsels are appointed who will not sell
their souls to the devil. Biafra or death.”
Recall that Nnamdi Kanu's lawyers had denounced the Movement for
the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and the Niger Delta Avengers
(NDA) which had given his release from prison as a condition for peace
to return in the Niger Delta region.
