Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has insisted that the British Government
collaborated with those who rearrested the pro-Biafra agitator.
Ejiofor disclosed this while stressing that the British
Government has not visited Kanu still held in the custody of the Department of
State Services, DSS.
Kanu was recently rearrested and repatriated from an
undisclosed African country believed to be Kenya.
Upon his return to Nigeria, Kanu is currently held in a DSS
facility in Abuja.
Following his rearrest, the British High Commissioner in
Nigeria expressed its readiness to provide consular assistance to Kanu.
However, Ejiofor disclosed that the British High Commission
was yet to see the IPOB leader.
In a series of tweets, Ejiofor dismissed reports that
officials of the British Government had visited the pro-Biafra agitator.
According to Ejiofor: “For your information, neither the
British High Commissioner in Nigeria nor any one representing/acting for them
has visited Our Client- Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at DSS detention facility, where he is
currently being held incommunicado. I can authoritatively confirm this position
to you today.
“Stop believing the falsehood being dished out in the public
space by mischief makers.The purveyors of fake news have always been at it.
“When I talk about a collaboration between the British
Government and those that kidnapped Our Client in Kenya, I meant every word
spoken there.
“Thankfully, force of law has been activated through judicial
process, before the British Court to ensure that their statutory obligation
over their Nationale is asserted, without further ado.
“I see a handful of compromised social media platforms, who
are ostensibly feeding fat from the National treasury. But the majority of
distinguished media houses are guided by good conscience in their reportage.
“We definitely commend them. Always visit our social media
handles for an accurate account of that is happening around our Client. May
Chukwuokike continue to strengthen and protect him in this trying time.”
