IPOB: ‘Spreading false narrative won’t work’, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer tackles Malami

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel to the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has described claims by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), as false.

In a Facebook post, the lawyer noted that spreading false narratives against the IPOB leader “will fail”.

The Federal Government had blamed Kanu for the murder of Dr Chike Akunyili, the husband of a former Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, the late Prof Dora Akunyili.

The government further accused him of being responsible for the murder of a former presidential aide, Ahmad Gulak, and over 184 others in the South-East.

This is according to a committee set up by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to investigate Kanu, who is standing trial for treasonable felony.

The 24-member comprised members from the Federal Ministry of Justice, the Federal Ministry of Information, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, the National Intelligence Agency and the Defence Intelligence Agency.

The committee, headed by Malami, said consequent upon the instigating directives of Kanu, members of IPOB and the Eastern Security Network carried out massive attacks on democratic institutions, especially facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission to hamper democratic process in Nigeria.

It said the attacks, carried out between October 2020 and June 2021, led to the killing of 175 security agents.

But Ejiofor said the legal team were prepared to prove all the allegations is wrong.

He posted, “There is no cause for alarm umuchukwu Okike Abiama. Do not panic at all.

“I may not wish to dignify their trending falsehood by directly responding to it but it is a bad strategy, already dead on arrival. We saw it coming!

“After a robust outing of 21st October, and strong objection raised to the empty charge, the narratives changed.
Note that the media has been awashed with this false narrative right from the very first day our client was extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria, even before the amended seven charges were filed twice.

“Their seven counts were amended twice upon being served with our Preliminary Objection. Remember that the facts they substantially relied upon in their purported amended charge, dwelt much on this speculation as you saw in their press statement.

“In all, I implore you all to remain calm, peaceful and focused, your eyes should always be on the ball, because we will demystify them only in law court. They cannot place something on nothing and expect it to stand, it must fail woefully!

“Please, note that your prayers has been impacting so much, it cannot be taken for granted at all. Please do not relent, Umuchineke.

“We believe in the ability of this honourable court to do justice to all manner of men, and that justice must not only be done in our case but SHALL manifestly be seen to have been done.

“Ignore their media propaganda, please, because Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not committed any offence known to law. He is a POLITICAL PRISONER, and SHALL be out soon,Our formidable legal team will leave no stone unturned to see it happen soon.”

What's the point in dignifying the airhead with a response?

The clown of Attorney General knows only his co- nitwits buy the flagrant attempt at debasing the seat he unworthily occupy.

Nnamdi coordinated the attack that bombed the World Trade Center in 2001


Hope I'm correct.

Malami is the head of Boko Haram illegal wing, so he is only doing his job.
But he will continue to disgrace only himself.

The way most of them will loose relevance after 2023 would be wicked.

imagine Malami as APC presidential candidate in 2023.

Malami is a disgrace. How can you take Nnamdi Kanu to court on Thursday, then hold a press conference on Friday to blame the man for several offences? This is prejudice to the court.

By holding that press conference, Malami made himself judge, Jury and executioner

Malami is the worst Attorney General Nigeria has ever had

Na Kanu break Oyo prison today.

Only bmcs zombies on here think Malami is a brilliant AGF, especially dat failure bbqvulturegrills smh.

the charges was never weighty
