The soldiers put his corpse in the boot of a vehicle belonging to the lawyer and took them away.

More details have emerged about the fatal invasion of the house of the Indigenous People of Biafra's (IPOB) lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, by Nigerian soldiers in the early hours of Sunday. 

SaharaReporters learnt that the soldiers shot dead the lawyer's Personal Assistant, identified as Samuel Uzo Okoro, also known as Biggy. 

It was gathered that the soldiers also put his corpse in the boot of a vehicle belonging to the lawyer and took them away. 

An update provided to SaharaReporters by civil society organisation, the International Society for Civil Liberty and Rule of Law, said four of the lawyer's relatives were also abducted by the military men.

Soldiers, Others Invade IPOB Lawyer's House At 2.30am, Take Him To Undisclosed Location

A source in the organisation said, "In the wee hours of this morning, his house was invaded by armed soldiers, joined by the police, Department of State Services and civil defence operatives. The invading security operatives jumped the perimeter fence of the compound after cutting its security cable and shooting in different directions. 

"The respected human rights lawyer who is also the principal attorney to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and several other groups and individuals, was unable to be tracked and abducted or instantly shot dead because he was hiding somewhere in his house.

"The invading government security operatives did not spare the life of the lawyer’s Personal Assistant, Samuel Uzo Okoro (Biggy), who was shot and killed inside the compound. The late Samuel Okoro had woken up as a result of noises and gunshots to find out what was going on when soldiers shot and killed him instantly. Unable to locate the lawyer and having shot and killed his PA, Samuel Okoro, the soldiers and others carried his corpse and dumped same in the boot of a Camry car belonging to Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor and ordered his chief driver (fondly called ‘Papa’ or ‘Elder’) to drive the car and follow them with the corpse. 

"The invading government security operatives also abducted Barr Ejiofor’s elder brother, Joel Ejiofor and the lawyer’s two domestic workers, named Ugochukwu and Chikezie and bundled them away. 

"The lawyer’s elder brother, Joel was later pushed out of one of the hilux vans at Ojoto en route Awka, Anambra State and he has since returned alive and unhurt. 

"The invading soldiers and other security operatives were also found to have been mobilised from Abuja and Anambra State and from the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha. The police, DSS and Civil Defence operatives came from Anambra State and Abuja." 

SaharaReporters had earlier today reported that some soldiers and policemen laid siege to the lawyer's house. 

The reason for this invasion could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report but it might be connected with the lawyer's legal assistance to the separatist group, IPOB, whose leader is Nnamdi Kanu.

According to a statement sent to SaharaReporters by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful on Sunday morning, the security forces shot sporadically before taking away the lawyer.

"Barrister Ejiofor's house been invaded by Fulani Jihadists soldiers now and they went to eliminate him, the world must hear the evil Nigeria and her security agencies are committing.

"This is 2.30am time they surrounded his country home. Is it an offense for someone to defend IPOB? Barrister Ejiofor is doing his job as a lawyer; where in the world would a legal practitioner be harassed because he represents an organisation?

"The Nigerian Army invaded and burnt his house on 2nd December 2019 and killed more than 10 people. After that, they were still trailing and harassing him. The whole world must hear because Nigerian government must get what they are looking for from IPOB," the statement had said.

Fake news.

What terrible govt?

With my little knowledge of the law, a lawyer is a representative not an accuser person, and he is protected by the law to serve both criminal and innocent as client.

The military government of Buhari is the problem

If happened to be truth then I say it is welcome development

Those of you that ceeselesly attack IPOB ESN and the unknown gunmen for taking on the Nigerian security agencies will be quiet here as usual! None of you will rail against this obvious evil! Yet, it's actions like this that brought us to the stage we find ourselves today..Your double standards are criminal and very suffocating! This man's crime is that he is a legal representative to this group! Nothing else!

His house has been demolished upto 3 times now and on each occasion, all of you pretend you can't see nor hear. Is there any justification for this? Is this not as bad as pouring fuel into fire? It seems like in this country, everybodys brain starts working well when the igbo man decides to act but goes on sabbatical once the igbo man is at the receiving end! God will judge all of you one after the other..

Are you minding the two-faced swine! They close their eyes to the extra-judicial murder of Igbos, yet when a response to the actions of Buharis' henchmen comes, you see these animals screaming blue murder all over the forum and accusing Mazi kanu, IPOB and ESN of terrorism!

Ayomide811:

Lol.

IPOB onion bandits & terrorists expect warm hugs from the officers they gleefully kill & celebrate over.

Duplicity is in their DNA.

Didn't i say it? See this one telling the story from the mid-point....that IPOB is 'killing innocent officers'! He's forgotten or isn't aware of the state-sponsored slaughter of Igbo youth in cold blood that's been going on for more than a decade, and took a frightful dimension from 2015 when the butcher of Katsina became president!

For the better part of 6 years, Buharis soldiers have been killing innocent defenceless civilians in the east for fun! The pictures of his badly mangled victims will be splashed here every now and then but nobody's conscience was ever pricked! It's stunning! Rather that outrightly criticize evil, folks will start making excuses for the murderous soldiers. But once any part of Igboland tries to retaliate, or even fight back, all hell is let loose! Supposedly sane characters will go as far as calling for "reprisals" (read; ethnic cleansing) against the Igbos for "trying to destroy" their beutiful Nigeria.. The whole thing is overwhelmingly alarming!

Imagine if it was Igbos that are jumping out of the bushes to matchet villagers to death in their sleep as the fulanis are doing all over Nigeria as we speak... By now every igbo pregnant woman in the North would have been disemboweled, every teanage gal raped, every man in sight beheaded. With no atom of remorse! But here today, we have an article trying to explain the difference between "fuulani the killers and the nice fulanis"! This is coming from a group of people that couldn't tell the difference between Nzeogwu the coup plotter and ordinary Igbos! They finished EVERY igboman living in northern Nigeria in 1966 because according to them, the Igbos were "laughing and singing" at them after the killing of the Sarduana!

That's how temperamental they're with the Igbos but very accommodating and understanding with the genocidal fulanis... The hate is sooooooo strong and toxic #Hatefiledlot

Too bad for the lawyer's PA.
Unfortunately the Force kills and are not questioned or detained.
Too sad.

IPOB maggots and fakenews are like shit and flies.

You are right, besides, he doesn't have immunity from prosecution if found to be behind the death of the patriots killed so far.
