The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has insisted that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s former personal counsel, Mike Ejiofor, remains sacked as the group’s lawyer.
Kanu had in a letter he wrote from the Sokoto Correctional Centre, announced Ejiofor’s sack as both his personal counsel and IPOB lawyer.
Following the development, Ejiofor said while he is no longer the IPOB leader’s personal counsel, he remains the lawyer of the pro-Biafra group. According to him, his appointment was reaffirmed by the group’s leadership.
However, replying Ejiofor in a statement released by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the lawyer’s appointment remains terminated.
“The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the supreme leadership of our great leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the spurious claims by the sacked and disengaged external solicitor, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, in which he falsely asserts that “IPOB reaffirmed him as its lawyer”
