Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to leader of the
Indigenious People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi
Kanu has said he has not been in contact with
his client since September 14, when Kanu’s Abia
State home was “invaded” by soldiers.
In a statement Tuesday, September 19, Mr.
Ejiofor claimed his client was abducted by
military operatives on September 14. He said
“Mr. Kanu has probably been killed”.
Mr. Kanu was last seen in public on September
10, after his supporters clashed with soldiers.
Mr. Ejiofor said some IPOB supporters were
killed the clash.
However, a letter purportedly signed by Mr.
Kanu, quoted the IPOB leader as saying he
would not be attending an earlier scheduled
meeting with South East governors last Friday.
“In view of the concerted effort by the
oppressive Nigerian state to shatter the peace
and tranquility of the South-East and the rest of
Biafraland through military intimidation, it has
become necessary for me to clarify why,
regrettably, I may not be able to attend Friday’s
meeting with the South-East governors as
earlier agreed, for three main reasons,” , the
letter, published by Punch newspaper, said.
