AS the detained Indig­enous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu is due to appear in court today, his group and family members have distanced themselves from his wife’s plan, Mrs Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, to change his lawyer, Mr. Vincent Obetta.

Deputy Director of IPOB, Mr. Alphonsus Uche-Mefor, who spoke to Daily Sun from London yesterday said IPOB has not taken any decision to change Vincent Obeta as his wife’s lead counsel de­fending its leader who is standing trial on charges bordering on treasonable felony.

Kanu’s wife had, in a paid advertorial pub­lished in a national daily yesterday announced the change of Mr. Obeta who had been lawyer to Kanu with Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofo.

Mrs Okwu-Kanu had claimed that the decision to appoint a new lawyer for her husband was taken at a meeting of the IPOB held on January 9, at For­est Gate, East London.

But Mefor and Kanu’s brother, Mr. Kingsley Kanunta Okwu-Kanu, who also spoke to Daily Sun from Germany, said they were at the said meet­ing and IPOB never took the decision to change Obeta as the counsel to its leader.

They insisted Obeta has, so far, done very well in the representation of Kanu in court, saying IPOB has no intention to change him now.

Also, in a telephone chat with Daily Sun, Ka­nu’s siblings, Prince Em­manuel and Princess Chi Kanu, who spoke from their hometown, opposed the change of Obeta who they said has done well as Kanu’s lawyer.

“We are not against any lawyer coming from whatever group to defend Nnamdi, including Mr. Ejiofor, but, he must work in concert with Obeta who has handled this matter from the first day for the sake of continuity and to avoid confusion,” the Ka­nus said.

Confusion in the camp of the enemies of the STATE Biafrauds how market na?




God bless Nigeria!

Nnamdi Kanu own don de finish, no one cares about him again.... I believe he's enjoying the iron beans in kuje prison, waiting for him to be sentenced 40 years in prison.

He'll soon change his name to Nnamdi Nigeria Kanu

I think the 2 lawyers should find a way to work together.

Let's watch how proceeding will go

They must stay united as a family, especially now.

their disagreement is a blessing to Nigeria.

Ok

Well since the only real thing they can do is protest on every part of the country while they secretly loot shops and offices



Wike's ban has crippled them , lawyer or no lawyer Nnamdi is on his own



Where are the goats that said this was his plan? That his arrest will make him a matyr for the biafran cause?



When you least expect it, expect it meaning trust yourself and make plans on plans if you rely on people this is what happens



Nnamdi is a goner

The same charge and bail lawyers have continually made all your SANs appear helpless and they have to resort to Bubu going against court orders to still remain in the game. Pitiful isn't it?
