Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer Mr
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has been declared wanted by the Nigerian Police.
He was declared wanted over the death of two
police officers and civilians who died during the alleged invasion in his
country home Ifite Oraifite in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, on Monday.
Recall that the Leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Kanu had yesterday, alleged that the police in Anambra
State invaded the house of his lawyer Ejiofor, in Ifite Oraifite in Ekwusigo
Local Government Area and killed three people, while many were wounded.
According to Kanu, “confirmed reports indicate that a combined team of police
and the Military assassination squad invaded the home of my lawyer, Ifeanyi
Ejiofor in Oraifite Anambra State, yesterday in a bid to kill him and his
family. Sadly, three innocent Biafrans were killed by this invading force at
his residence”.
Meanwhile, the police commissioner in the
state, John Abang, in a video message circulated by the spokesman of the
police, Haruna Mohammed, on Tuesday, urged members of the public with any
information of the laywer’s whereabouts to avail the police or any other
security agencies of such information. “Gentleman, I will like to let Nigerians
to know that as we speak, Barrister Ejiofor, an IPOB member and his cohorts
have been declared wanted by the command”. “And I will seek the cooperation of
law abiding Nigerians from North, South, East and West, wherever they find this
individual, they should report to the nearest police station or any other
security agency for possible arrest and prosecution,” Mr Abang said.
Also Mr Haruna according to PremiumTimes in an
accompanying statement to the video message wrote: “Police in Anambra State
have declared wanted one Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor (a member of the proscribed
IPOB) and his cohorts over the alleged brutal murder of two Police officers in
Oraifite yesterday”.
