Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, head of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has stated that the Biafra agitator did not form the organisation to bleed blood and incite violence in the Southeast.

Kanu, according to Ejiofor, founded IPOB to peacefully realize Biafra without spilling human blood.

He said this following a regular meeting between Kanu and his legal team at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters in Abuja.

Kanu, according to Ejiofor, separated IPOB from the violence in the Southeast.

A statement by Ejiofor reads partly: “Onyendu is emphatic on his position – he never set up IPOB to spill blood, but to secure the freedom of our people who have remained in perpetual bondage in their own fatherland. In view of this long-held position, Onyendu consequently distanced IPOB from the nefarious activities of criminals who are desecrating our land and assured that their end is near.

“Onyendu urges Umuchineke to recall his personal sacrifices and contributions towards alleviating the hardship imposed on our people by the COVID-19 pandemic, during the infamous lockdown that lasted several months.

“Onyendu restated that IPOB is a peaceful movement, and not in any way associated with any form of violence. No doubt, the Federal Government of Nigeria has nothing to place before the court to justify the bogus empty charges filed against Onyendu. It is trite, therefore, that, ‘you cannot place something on nothing and expect it to stand.’

“Onyendu is also not oblivious of the desperate efforts being made by soulless hirelings to demonize IPOB, in addition to the travails of innocent Umuchineke, who are daily subjected to unprovoked bloody attack by trigger-happy security operatives.”

IPOB has been linked to several violence and killings across the Southeast.

Despite the allegations, the separatist group had continued to insist that its members are peaceful.
