Having been reliably and incontrovertibly informed that some of the utterances of their defence lawyers were made without consultation, a statement signed by Emma Nmezu and Clifford Iroanya spokespersons for IPOB said :
“as a result of this unsolicited and unguarded utterances, the defence team has been sacked and will be replaced.
“The IPOB leader wishes to state categorically that the only thing we are open to is negotiations that will lead to modalities and processes to restore Biafra and avert further hardships on the people of Nigeria who have been under bondage since his kidnapping and illegal detention.
“Niger Delta Avengers arose because of the inherent injustice in Nigeria as manifested in the disregard to the rule of law when Buhari refused to obey court order to unconditionally release our leader, Nnamdi Kanu. We spoke the mind of our leader when we stated for record purposes that IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers share the same ideology of freedom for Biafra.
“Anybody publicly dissociating IPOB from Niger Delta Avengers is a mortal enemy of IPOB family worldwide under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu. Let it be known that as long as Buhari and Daura continue to tamper with Nnamdi Kanu‘s defence team through bribery, inducements and intimidation, IPOB will keep on changing the team”.
"For the records, the press conference by the now-sacked legal team was about bringing to public knowledge the foolishness of the Department of State Services (DSS) in bringing treasonable felony charges against our leader and the lack of evidence thereof".
"In the interim, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor will continue to act as lead counsel until other counsels are appointed who will not sell their souls to the devil", the statement said.The embattled leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who is being incaserated at the Kuje Prisons, had revealed his willingness to engage the President Buhari led Federal Government, in finding a geninuine political solution, “in resolving his present politically orchestrated ordeal”.
The IPOB leader made this known in Abuja through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, while dissociating himself from the purpoted negotiations going on between the Federal Government and the members of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), where Kanu was named to be have been part of.
“Nnamdi Kanu has no connection, contact, ties or any form of relationship with the members of the MEND. As such, MEND has no implied, direct or express authority of Nnamdi Kanu to represent him or IPOB in any purpoted negotiations, going on between MEND and the Federal Government.
“However, Nnamdi Kanu is not averse to political solution, in resolving his present politically orchestrated ordeal”, he said.
