KANU WARNS HIS DISCIPLES, EKPA TO STOP THREATENING HIS LAWYERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR BECOME HIS ETERNAL ENEMIES
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has warned his disciples, supporters and followers against threatening, harassing or accusing his lawyers on social media.
Apparently, the warning was directed at Simon Ekpa, a Finland based lawyer and a self acclaimed disciple of the IPOB leader who had attacked Kanu’s lawyers on his social media handles over the issue of continued Monday Sit at Home exercises.
Recall that Emma Powerful, the IPOB spokesman had called off the exercise after Kanu’s lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Alloy Ejimakor, as well as his brother, Kanunta, all confirmed that the IPOB leader ordered a discontinuation of the weekly exercise “in order to lessen the suffering of our people”
Despite that, Ekpa, on all his social media platforms had advocated for a continuation of the exercise, insisting that Biafrans must get the discontinuation order directly from Kanu, not his lawyers. This has led to chaos and avoidable loss of lives.
Kanu’s warning was contained in a statement issued by his lead counsel, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, on Monday.
The statement read thus:
“Today, I and my colleague, Bar. Alloy Ejimakor, had a very fruitful visitation to Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We discussed a wide range of matters, especially concerning Hearing in his case and appearance in court on 21st October, 2021. There will be more on this later.
The coast is now clear for legal fireworks this Thursday, particularly now that we have been served with a purported “Amended Charge” in the Case.
Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in good spirit, awaiting his auspicious outing on Thursday, the 21st Day of October, 2021. He commended those who are in the spirit with him, while declaring that Chukwuokike Abiama has ordained this special Day for a victorious outing.
He requested that the fasting, supplications and prayers should continue, as he noted that they are strongly impacting positively.
In the interim, it is necessary to pass the following urgent and important messages, which are:
1) Onyendu made it categorically clear that none of his lawyers should be harassed, threatened or accused by anybody claiming to be his supporter or follower, regardless of the person’s tie with him. He was very particular about those who find it convenient to insult his Attorneys vide their live social media platforms.
Our Client Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu emphasized that he trusts his lawyers and continues to have high confidence in them.
2) That anybody engaged in such harassment, threats and unfounded accusations directed against his lawyers, is definitely working against him, and that he shall never forgive such person(s) and shall eternally see such person(s) as his enemy.
3) That the best thing anybody claiming to be his supporter or follower can do for him at this point in time is to wholeheartedly support all his lawyers in their current efforts.
4) That any such threats, harassment and false accusations against any of his lawyers should seize forthwith.
He further implored UmuChineke to be steadfast, and keep their eyes steadily on the ball and pray without ceasing, while believing very strongly that this present situation will pass too and it shall end in Praises. Iseeee!!!
This THURSDAY is the D-Day, and your solidarity/support must be demonstrated within the confines of the law, as you have always shown.
Onyendu specifically asked us to extend his undiluted love and confidence for Umuchineke.
We are eminently prepared for Thursday’s outing, and you won’t be dissapointed UmuChineke.
Thank you all and remain richly blessed.”
