Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to leader
of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, says he
doesn’t know client’s whereabout.
The development signals trouble
for Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and a Jewish High Chief Priest, Immanuu
El-Shalom, who stood as sureties for Nnamdi Kanu.
Abaribe, representing Abia South
Senatorial District and El-Shalom, had on April 28, entered an undertaken to
produce Kanu before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court on October 17
to face treasonable felony charge the Federal Government preferred against him
and four other pro-Biafra agitators.
Kanu was billed to appear before
trial Justice Binta Nyako to be re-arraigned on an amended five count charge
marked FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015, alongside his co-defendants, Chidiebere Onwudiwe,
Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie.
In a chat with Vanguard last
night, Ejiofor said his only contact with the IPOB leader was few minutes
before the Nigerian Army “invaded” his (Kanu’s) hometown.
He said that Kanu called him on
phone, complaining that he was under attack from soldiers that were deployed to
his compound by FG.
Ejiofor who said he would not be
surprised if government decides to move against those that stood surety for his
client, maintained that the burden was on the prosecution to produce Kanu in
court on the adjourned date.
“The fact is that they are in a
position to produce him at the next adjourned date. It is public knowledge that
my client had before his house was invaded, always made himself available for
trial.
“He never evaded trial as he made
it known that he was ready. If he wanted to jump bail, he would have done so
immediately he was released from prison. But he did not run.
“The last time I spoke with my
client was the day his house was invaded by soldiers. He called me and
complained that he was being attacked by soldiers who he said were shooting
sporadically. Since then, I have not heard from my client again.
“If he is alive, they should tell
the court on that day. They will not only explain to the trial court, but will
also produce the soldiers that went to his home to attack him”.

The so-called senator must be arrested; he is part of the terrorist organization. This will serve as a big lesson for others associating with that jobless criminal calling himself the igbo freedom fighter
ReplyDeleteMumuyiwa,are you speaking from anus or what? Why can't you learn? Why have you failed to learn? Is it because you can never be like the punch line?
DeleteWhat if he has been killed?
DeleteSO THIS MUMUYIWA IS HERE TOO? ALWAYS TALKING FROM HIS ANUS. A HIRED AGENT. SHAME ON YOU. YOU DONT EVEN READ THE CONTENTS. YOU JUST SEE THE HEADLINES AND BARK LIKE A DOG. SHAME ON YOU. Jay 2, Abuja.
ReplyDeleteThere is sense I what he is saying. When you want your own country, why are you still remain in another man's land? Unsincere useless tribe.

The consequence of signing bail bond is very clear. Sentiment should be kept aside. Those who signed the bail bond for the terrorist should either produce him or carry the cross, simple!
ReplyDeleteThere they go again - what they called "unknown soldier". The onus of proof of Nnamdi Kanu having not been killed is on the Nigerian military. If Nnamdi Kanu has been killed how will the surety "produce the soldier that did the killing of him? Again, "unknown soldier" has come to town.
ReplyDeleteThank my brother don't mind the illiterates commenting Rubish here. Don't just post any Rubish here because u have tecno phone. If they have killed him then they should tell the trial court simple. If he is in their custody then they should ferry him to the court on the trial day. As simple as that!
DeleteFrom the onset of this so-called struggle of secession, it has been curse, curse curse in the mouth of the terrorist, Nnamdi Kanu and you the stupid, vision-less and myopic followers. You can't even engage in constructive discussions. You people should grow up and toll the right path of using internationally acceptable rules of engagement. Your crude old ways of cursing and confrontational will not help uou. My candid advice to you if you have head to think.
