IPOB Disowns Lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Issues Legal Warning
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) issued a disclaimer regarding lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, asserting that he has been dismissed by the group's leader, Nnamdi Kanu. This announcement was made public by IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful on Thursday.
Kanu, currently incarcerated in Sokoto Prison, had previously communicated his decision to sack Ejiofor as his counsel, citing gross incompetence and professional misconduct in handling Kanu's terrorism trial. IPOB emphasized that Ejiofor does not represent Kanu or the organization and warned that any media outlet referring to him as their lawyer could face legal repercussions.
The statement clarified that the only recognized legal team for IPOB is appointed by Kanu. IPOB urged Biafrans to remain vigilant against individuals misrepresenting the group or undermining Kanu's authority.
