Nnamdi Kanu Sacks Lawyer For Collecting Bribe From FG

The embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has sacked his lawers for speaking against the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and for misleading the public on negotiations with the Federal Government.
 
Vanguard reports that information about the sack is contained in a statement issued on Friday by Barrister Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, Spokespersons for IPOB.


“These utterances,” IPOB said, “border on negotiations and some were against the Niger Delta Avengers. 

"As a result of these 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.”

According to the group, “The Niger Delta Avengers arose because of the inherent injustice in Nigeria as manifested in the disregard for the rule of law, when President Muhammadu 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.

IPOB subsequently, announced that Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor will in the interim; continue to act as lead counsel until other counsels are appointed.
