BREAKING: Nnamdi Kanu SACKS His Lawyers- Simon Ekpa Breaks News
In a startling turn of events within the ongoing legal saga surrounding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the charismatic leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), reports have emerged that he has sacked two prominent lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Ozekhome from his legal team. The upheaval follows a recent Supreme Court decision that upheld charges against Kanu, dealing a blow to his legal defense and leaving his victory at the appellate court short- lived.
Simon Ekpa Drops Breaking News On Nnamdi Kanu’ s Decision To Sack His Lawyers Amid Unfavourable Supreme Court Ruling
The self- appointed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), Mazi Simon Ekpa, a staunch supporter and self- proclaimed disciple of Kanu, dropped the bombshell news via his verified X handle. According to Ekpa, Kanu has reportedly relieved Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Ozekhome of their legal duties. This surprising move comes hot on the heels of the Supreme Court of Nigeria’ s decision on December 15, which set aside a lower court judgment dismissing terrorism charges against Kanu.
Notably, Kanu’ s lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, acknowledged that the IPOB leader accepted the Supreme Court’ s verdict, not necessarily because he deemed it perfect, but out of respect for the finality of the court’ s decisions. This revelation contradicts the apparent dismissal of Ejiofor and Ozekhome by Kanu, raising questions about the internal dynamics within Kanu’ s legal team.
