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.
Nnamdi Kanu sacks lawyers for speaking against 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.
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!!!
