The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) announced on Wednesday that its leader’s lead counsels, Nnamdi Kanu, Mike Ozekhome, and Ifeanyi Ejiofor, had not been fired.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman for the Pro-Biafra organization, told the public that the assertion attributed to Kanu’s family members that Ozekhome and Ejiofor had been fired should be ignored.
Powerful contended that because Ozekhome and Ejiofor are IPOB lawyers, they cannot be fired.
The IPOB spokesman, speaking through a statement, warned those promoting the falsehood to stop.
He advised the agitator’s family members not to try to disrupt Kanu’s release by pretending to be his brother and sister.
A statement by Powerful reads: “IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who engaged these dependable legal luminaries, are very confident in their legal prowess.
“Biafrans and lovers of Biafra freedom across the world should ignore the purported statement from the so-called brothers of our leader because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu regards IPOB members as his brothers and sisters.
“The legal representation contract between IPOB/Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Prof. Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and Sir Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor is still intact. They are not Kanu’s family lawyers but IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers.
“We encourage our lead counsels and other members of the legal team not to be distracted or discouraged in their fight for the unconditional release of Kanu from the DSS dungeon as the Courts have ordered. The agenda of IPOB and MNK’s enemies is to get the lead counsels angry and abandon Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Their agenda is dead on arrival as the lead counsels are not amateur to intimidation and blackmail.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu once said publicly, ‘In this Biafra struggle, I have no brothers and no sisters except IPOB members Therefore, any so-called brother claiming of speaking for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS dungeon is making a jest of himself. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not in detention because of his family but because of Biafran’s freedom.
“Everybody must be careful because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has gone beyond Kanu’s family. He is a leader and the face of Biafra. He is a national asset for Biafrans and must be protected from wolverines and jackals.”
