The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has officially disowned lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, stating that he has been sacked by their leader, Nnamdi Kanu. According to a statement released by IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful, Ejiofor does not represent Kanu or the pro-Biafra group. It was previously announced by Kanu in a letter from prison that Ejiofor was sacked as his counsel, and IPOB also accused him of failing to provide effective legal representation during Kanu's terrorism trial.
IPOB warned that anyone referring to Ejiofor as their lawyer could face legal consequences. The group stated that Kanu dismissed Ejiofor due to his incompetence and professional misconduct, particularly for mishandling the case and allowing a civil stay to overturn a criminal discharge. Since his dismissal, Ejiofor has been working against the release of Kanu and advocating for interest groups against the IPOB leader.
IPOB urged Biafrans to remain vigilant and reject anyone who tries to misrepresent the group or undermine the authority of its leader.
