The Department of State Services (DSS) has described one of the lawyers of Godwin Emefiele, suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) as a counsel of the outlawed indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). In a tweet on Tuesday, the secret police accused Maxwell Okpara, Emefiele’s counsel of working for the outlawed group. Okpara and some lawyers had called for action against DSS Director-General, Yusuf Bichi, over the detention of Emefiele. But DSS described Okpara as a “Biafran Republic agitator”, saying the lawyer needs to be well tutored on the law as per Emefiele’s arrest.
The secret police tweeted, “Biafran Republic agitator and Outlawed IPOB counsel defending the suspended CBN governor. “Is IPOB defending one of theirs? What a contradiction. What’s the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please.” A Biafran Republic agitator and Outlawed IPOB counsel defending the suspended CBN Governor. Is IPOB defending one of theirs? What a contradiction…..hmmm…what's the connection? Is someone telling us something? May Maxwell be properly educated on points of law, please. — Department of State Services (DSS) (@OfficialDSSNG) July 18, 2023 Okpara is one of the lawyers representing the suspended CBN governor to to secure his freedom. Meanwhile, Okpara had also on many occasions, represented leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. Reacting to DSS’ tweet, netizens said Nigeria deserves better as they condemned the tweet as unprofessional.

Emifiele and Ipob terrorist na Five and 6 central defence

Emefiele and IPOB shares several traits in common.

Emefiele is an honorary member of IPOB

I dont understand how people reason in Nigeria

A Lawyers job is to defend people in court. Who a Lawyer has defended in the past is irrelevant, your job is to prosecute

To say that a Lawyer defended IPOB in court, and that tranlates to mean that whoever they subsequently defend, is connected to IPOB, is childish thinking

If you have evidence that a person commited a crime, charge them to court and prosecute, rather than playing silly games about who their Lawyers defended in the past

I can't believe what I just read...
I know the men and women in the DSS are daft but I didn't know they were this daft.

Suddenly Emefiele is now an Igbo man just as Kaduna Chukwuma nzogwu became an igbo man in 1966 after the coup.
