Detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday hailed people they described as fearless judges that gave justice to all IPOB cases littered in several courts across the country.
It also commended the recent judgement delivered in favour of the IPOB counsel, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, whose house in Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State, was invaded in 2021 with his personal assistant killed.
IPOB in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, said: “we commend the judge who, without minding the intimidation from the Federal Government led by president Muhammadu Buhari and his Fulani kinsmen, delivered a landmark judgment against Nigeria government and her compromised security agencies and ordered them to compensate Ejiofor for the evil they did to him.
“The only crime that Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor committed, was being a defense lawyer to IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Barr. Ejiofor is only doing his professional job as an attorney according to law. but he has always been harassed, intimidated, threatened and have lost persons around him and properties worth millions caused by Nigeria state in the course of doing his professional job.
“IPOB salute men and women of the bench who don’t yield to the oppressive government of Nigeria but delivered justice to IPOB members who have been illegally abducted, tortured, detained and denied freedom in many security detention facilities across Nigeria.
“IPOB will not forget to appreciate Justice Ademola of Abuja High Court who gave justice to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in 2015 that he committed no crime against any man or nation.
“This honourable judge granted our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, unconditional release in 2015 which unmasked the injustice that the current judge, Justice Binta Nyako of Federal High Court, Abuja is trying so hard to mask against Nnamdi Kanu.”
The group said that the attorney-general of Nigeria, Alhaji Abubakar Mallami, and Justice Binta Nyako, in collusion with the fulani controlled federal government, were yet to come out openly and tell the world the crime Kanu committed that made them kidnap him from Kenya, extraordinarily rendered him to Nigeria and still kept him in the DSS solitary confinement till date.
While saying that it is important for everyone to know that Justice Binta Nyako was allegedly “totally biased” in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB added: “to them, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, being a Biafran and not a Fulani man needs to be tortured and humiliated to submission.
“We want the world to ask Binta Nyako why is she still keeping Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in DSS solitary confinement with her endless court adjournments? Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and IPOB are being persecuted by Nigeria government for only having different political opinions. we have committed no crime known to any law in the world.
“But both the AGF mallami and Justice Binta Nyako and their collaborators have failed and will always fail because Elohim, Chukwu Okike Abiama is behind the Biafra struggle and no one can stop this move until Biafra comes.
“Let the Biafra adversaries understand this, Biafra, through a united nations supervised referendum, is what we are asking for, and that we must get, it doesn’t matter how many Biafrans they kill or jail.”
