Clifford Iroanya, erstwhile ally
of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has
warned against any further attempt to denigrate his image.
The
warning is a fallout of a confession by one of Kanu’s coordinators, Candy
Stallworth, in the United States of America (USA), before Honorable Judge J.
Scott Duncan of the Circuit Court.
She was said to have told the
court that Mr. Kanu fed him with fake information which she used against Dr.
Clifford Iroanya.
In 2017, Ms. Candy Stallworth had
reportedly made several accusations against Dr. Iroanya, which included
belonging to a terrorist group within and outside Nigeria.
Consequently, Dr. Iroanya, who
said he was inundated with calls from all over the world from concerned friends
and family members after reading the widely-circulated publications, instituted
a lawsuit against Ms. Stallworth through his Attorney, Hunter R. Higdon, Esq.
of James L. Chase & Associates, PLC (Attorneys and Counselors at Law) based
in Pensacola-Florida.)
It was further gathered that
after failing to prove the allegations against Dr. Iloanya, Ms. Stallworth
entered into a plea bargain in lieu of going into full court trial.
In her plea bargain, Ms. Candy
Stallworth affirmed the following “That all the allegations she made against
Dr. Iroanya were false.
“That she made those allegations
based on false information she received from Nwannekaenyi Kenny Okwu-Kanu,” and
five others.
Reacting to the judgement, which
emanated from the plea bargain, Iroanya said “the lessons learnt here are that
individuals should be more circumspect and measured in their utterances and
writings.
“Also, those who receive
information from their organizational leaders and associates must verify and
critically analyze that information before making use of them because it could
cause an embarrassing backlash as is the case of Ms. Candy Stallworth.
“Lastly, those who go to social
media to freely pour venoms and acidic words and making threats on others must
desist because the consequences may be too damning on them.
“For Ms. Candy Stallworth, she
has learnt her lessons and will never make such mistakes again in her life and
if she does, then she will live with the consequences.
“For the six indicted accomplices
named in the judgment and their cohorts who are still defaming Dr. Iroanya and
other innocent people, they are hereby urged to stop now or they will regret
their actions sooner than later.
“Let these indicted accomplices
and their cohorts take a little bit of their time to go through Section-373 to
Section-375 of CAP. C38 L.F.N. 2004 (The extant Criminal Code Act/Law in
Nigeria) for which culpability is independent of location, time, and
media/platform upon which the defamatory actions were made.”
“They must understand that Dr.
Iroanya will not hesitate to invoke and deploy this Law to send them to jail,
should they continue with their defamatory activities,” Iroanya concluded.
Meanwhile, efforts to get
reactions from IPOB’s spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful was not successful as of
the time of this report.
