BREAKING: Court Frees 12 IPOB Members In Ebonyi State After Four Years In Detention

Ejiofor noted that despite multiple court rulings over the years discharging and acquitting them of all charges, they had remained in detention until Thursday’s ruling.

The Ebonyi State High Court on Thursday ordered the release of 12 members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who had been held in prison since May 24, 2021.

Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, IPOB lawyer, who made this known in a statement issued after the court ruling said that the freed individuals are part of a larger group of 36 IPOB supporters who were arrested nearly four years ago.

Ejiofor noted that despite multiple court rulings over the years discharging and acquitting them of all charges, they had remained in detention until Thursday’s ruling.

The ruling followed a formal application by the Ebonyi State Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

He said that the DPP acknowledged the series of judicial pronouncements and formally withdrew the latest charges against the 12 detainees, effectively ending their years-long incarceration.

According to him, the court directive was carried out without delay, and the individuals were handed over in compliance with the ruling.

“It marked a long-overdue respect for the rule of law and a reaffirmation of their innocence, which courts had upheld time and again,” Ejiofor said.


Ejiofor emphasised that the legal team remains committed to the release of the remaining IPOB members, who, according to him, have also been acquitted by no fewer than four separate High Courts in Ebonyi State.

“Their release is no longer a matter of if but when, and that moment draws closer by the day,” he said.

Tinubu government dealing with Northerners.

Shimbo96:
I'm sure none of them has fish brain... You won Guinness world record with the first human with the biggest fish brain. Bye

Stop crying

helinues:
Na wetin carry you run be that. And na wetin we go dey take knack una from henceforth

You can't give what you don't have.



You only know how to propagate lies against Igbos.

helinues:
Na honest conversation we wan dey have with you guys now which would be devoid of emotional tantrums. Strictly logical conversation

No time for pettiness

Can anything reasonable come out from you?

Omoawoke:
I’ve done a good load of psychology to know humans will lie to themselves repeatedly to gain comfort .
You know you are lying to yourself and you know it. Doctor kill you there …

You can keep lying to yourself with Doctored audio.


Not today you people start propagating lies against the people you love to hate.

helinues:
Then let some of them who have been forcing the protest in other regions should rest.

Take the meat, una say na bone, okay bring am back, una still say some meats dey inside.

What's the confusion for??

Trash from 👇👇👇

Salewa97:
Nnamdi Kanu is the architect of chaos.

His words fueled the flames of violence during the Endsars protests.

We can't forget how he incited our youth to destruction, and now some want to paint him as a hero? This is madness! He should be held accountable, not celebrated.

So you yorubas took orders from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during EndSar?

Omoawoke:
Now it has become doctored ?
Same way Peter obi yes daddy was doctored ??

It was Doctored.


Provide video evidence if you claim it's real.

Thrasher2024:
Oga Igbos have repeated time without number they are not interested in your protest, a doctored Nnamdi kanu audio won't change anything, it is your area boys that destroyed those properties in Lagos and inquiry into the incident showed that Igbo businesses were they ones mostly affected in the Endsars protest. Nnamdi kanu has denied several times that he never instructed anyone or members to destroy Lagos and no one has charged him to court based on that. Any foolish person can impersonate someone's voice and claim it's Nnamdi kanu. And besides it was an audio not a video. Just like how a fake phone conversation between oyedepo and Peter obi was made public. Stop making things difficult for yourself and giving Yorubas a bad name of Cowardice. Northern elders and northern groups have repeatedly told you guys they are going to protest and any attempt to scuttle it violently against the protesters would result into something ugly. Instead of you to ask yourself a critical question what if Boko Haram have infiltrated Lagos to unleash mayham you are here pointing at Igbos.

You guys should stop this Cowardice and confront your real Nemesis... Enough said

Who dey take them serious with their fake audio.


During EndSar we saw videos of Yorubas youths that cashed out the Oba of Lagos.

Here on nairaland video of yoruba youths eating a police man they killed and roasted during EndSar was posted here.


But of course Yoruba Muslims are known revisionist.

The zoo must go down

lordm:
Watch how ipob avoid this place

Oduduwas took order from Kanu

sIfioksq:
Nnamdi Kanu is the poster child for chaos in Nigeria. His role in inciting violence during Endsars was nothing short of reckless. It's amazing how some still see him as a hero when all he did was fan the flames of discord. We can't afford to forget the damage he caused.

Oooh so Yorubas youths took order from Kanu?

Wonderful.

We remember

CorrectionFLuid:
Leave the APC, they know exactly what they are doing.

When Nnamdi kanu was still in London, a week never passes without Lai Mohamed writing the UK to repatriate him.

I was expecting they will be doing same for Ekpa but alas.

The real tragedy is in some ìgbo people who foolishly support Ekpa. They fell for the scam

You don't blame some of them, the APC agent in Finland is riding on their emotions.


Telling them what they want to hear (mostly that are lies)

Acting as tough guy with machinery APC government arranged for him.

Nigeria government sacrificing their security men for him to make it look like he's enemy of Nigeria and fighting for Biafra.



But I am too wise to be fooled by a criminal like him.

Kusu12:
Death to all terrorists Boko Haram, Hezbolah, IPOB, ESN, HAMAS and other terrorist groups

Including Yorubas oduduwa Opc Terrorists.

femtex007:
U knw the truth but u chose to judge this way
May God help u

God is always helping me because I stand on the truth unlike you.

damkin24:
See the reasoning of a supposed normal human being. SMH

What of you don't know is bigger than you.

JoeEeL:
Are u sure of this theory?

100% sure.



Why do you think they don't want to release Kanu even with all the court orders and plead leaders from East.



Not even to all Kanu to stay in prison where he can have assets to people and enough informations


Why do you think they keep linking Simon ekperima attacks to ipob even when Ipob leadership have been saying for three years that Simon ekperima is not their member.

gidgiddy:
Finland based lawyer and Biafran advocate, Simon Ekpa, is a smart guy. He knows he is in a country that does not joke with the rule of law, but from a country that knows nothing about the rule of law.

Simon Ekpa has consistently said that he never joined IPOB, but nay sayers keep shouting every day that Simon Ekpa is an IPOB member. Same way they need to force IPOB membership on Simon Ekpa, is how they want to force him to be responsible for any violent crime in the South East

Some people keep shouting why Finland hasn't arrested Simon Ekpa? Why would Finland arrest him? Did you provide the authorities of Finland with any evidence of wrong doing by Ekpa? Third party comments, uncredited videos, rumour mongering and assumptions are not evidence in serious countries, anyone can make them.


It's hard to explain to a Nigerian that accusation without evidence is nothing but rumour mongering

That's why Simon Ekpa is using them to catch cruise everyday, posting nonsense on his media handles and laughing as Nigerians take it as admission of guilt.

Again Simon ekperima is the one claiming to be member of Ipob and even some time claim to be leader.

Not his master the FG forcing him on Ipob.


Ipob leadership were wise and disassociated the APC agent and his criminal activities from Ipob.

But it didn't stop the criminal from trying to link himself to ipob.
And his Nigerian Master to linking his activities to Ipob.


He tried diving and destroy ipob with his auto pilot game but failed.

Today we don't see the criminal mention Auto pilot, only masquerading as Ipob.

Simon ekperima is APC Criminal agent.


The criminal is not catching any cruise, he's doing the work of evil apc in Biafra land.

That's why Nigeria government don't want to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, just to give their agent free hand to operate.


Any day Mazi Nnamdi Kanu comes out the criminal will disappear.

Mikespecialone:
Shame catch me for u , no sense in what you write

It can't make sense to senseless person.




So is understandable.

Why in Iran Soil?



I thought Iran is sponsoring them,or Iran have started to disassociate themselves.

ponlear:
Any individual or group that openly claims responsibility for killing people and disrupting peace can be classified as a terrorist. Terrorism typically involves the use of violence or threats to instill fear, achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives, and disrupt societal order.

I come in peace

Not when the person is sponsored by your Nigeria government.

Even after claiming responsibility for the attack Nigeria government and it medias will ignore him and be accusing innocent peaceful Ipob and ESN for killings.




Simple because the criminal in Finland is working for evil apc government to destroy ipob and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
(1))To make international communities to see ipob as violent group and start hunting them because they can't Stop them from here in Nigeria, ipob leadership operate from abroad.

Cut the head of the snake game.

(2)To make our people hate anything related to to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and ipob.


But Ipob leadership was wise to disassociate themselves and ipob from the criminal activities of an apc criminal agent in Finland.

The game failed since.

Today Ipob still holds meetings and protests all over the world because civilized people supports their course for self determination.


Nigeria government sacrificing their security men just to stop ipob instead of doing the right thing.



God bless Ipob members worldwide.

God bless ipob leadership for remaining resolute in their peaceful approach, Because what evil Nigeria government wanted is Ipob to go to war, just like Hamas and they will have the support of their West masters to destroy Biafra land.

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, The Ohamadike


God bless ESN for their sacrifice in guarding our farmers and our farm lands, Which made it possible for our people to cultivate.


God bless all lovers of Freedom

JUST IN: Thugs threaten residents not to protest in Lagos


Some suspected thugs have begun to threaten Lagos State residents not to come out for the hunger protest scheduled for Thursday, August 1 to 10.

In a viral clip on Tuesday, the people whose voices were only heard were chastising the market women and men to desist from the planned protest as it might lead to more destruction than that witnessed in the #EndSARS protest.

“Anybody that is confident should come out on Thursday to protest. Are you the only one hungry?

“If you dare come out for the protest, you will be mercilessly dealt with,” the men in the video warned.
