The Alleged Move To Dissolve Nnamdi Kanu's Legal Team, A Lie From The Pit Of Hell---Lawyer

 The Alleged Move To Dissolve Nnamdi Kanu's Legal Team, A Lie From The Pit Of Hell---Lawyer 

Family Writers Press International has obtained a Facebook update made on10th March 2023 by Barrister Maxwell Opara, Esq and one of the Senior Counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, the report about Kanu's decision to overhaul his legal team is a lie. Barrister Opara called the news "fake and most senseless news being circulated by mischief makers", and adviced the public to ignore it. 

Recall that a day earlier, 9th March 2023, Vanguard news made a publication, alleging to have learnt that Nnamdi Kanu has decided to overhaul his legal team and constitute a new one. According to Vanguard, Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB) held a meeting with one of his lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, and instructed him to ask the team of lawyers to return his case file to him without further delay.

But, reading from Barrister Opara's Facebook post, the lawyer clearly stated that he(Barrister Opara) personally visited Nnamdi Kanu the same 9th of March. Opara confessed that he spent over an hour with Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB leader never said anything of such or expressed any displeasure with his legal team. Opara said he remembers telling Nnamdi Kanu that Prof Mike Ozekhome(chief counsel to the IPOB leader) could not come physically because he was a little in the weather after his appearance at the Presidential Election Tribunal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja. The Barrister said that Nnamdi Kanu screamed and told him to go straight from that DSS office to see Prof Mike on his(Kanu's) behalf and to know how the Prof was doing; said Prof Mike Ozekhome, SAN should be advised to have more rest because he still needs the learned Chief to accomplish the good work he has already started doing for him since he took over his defence.

Read Barrister Maxwell's report bellow:

"I just finished my matter at the FCT High Court, Gwagwalada,Abuja. I opened my WhatsApp only for me to see one stupid trending post captioned “Kanu sacked Senior lawyer over poor representation”. Unfortunately, the confused and obviously paid hatchet writer did not mention the name of the particular senior lawyer allegedly sacked, since virtually all the lawyers in the legal team prosecuting Kanu's release from illegal detention by the Federal Government(who are ably led by our own erudite and renowned Prof.Mike Ozekhome, San, CON, OFR, Ph.D), are senior lawyers."

"But to put the record straight, the entire story is a complete fabrication and a lie from the pit of hell. It was concocted and deposited by 4th columnists who want to reap where they did not sow. For the avoidance of doubt, I personally visited Mazi NNAMDI Kanu only yesterday ( Thursday, 9th March, 2023 ) at the DSS headquarters where he is being detained. I spent over an hour with him till past 4pm. I had told him Prof Mike Ozekhome could not come physically because he was a little in the weather after his appearance at the Presidential Election Tribunal at the Court of Appea,Abuja. MNK screamed and told me to go straight from the DSS office to see him on his behalf and to know how he was doing. He said we should advise Prof Mike Ozekhome,SAN, to have more rest because he still needs the learned Chief to accomplish the good work he has already started doing for him since he took over his defence. He made it clear that the learned Silk is a "game changer" who positively changed the entire narrative of his case as soon as he took over his defence, getting all the 15 courts charge quashed both at the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal, Abuja."

"Let me use this medium to inform the general public to ignore the most senseless post being circulated by mischief makers whose primary aim is get Prof Mike Ozekhome angry and abandon Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to his fate by withdrawing from his case and defence. I know what we went through before Prof Ozekhome accepted this brief to lead us in this matter. It is his involvement that resulted in quashing all the charges against MNK at the Federal High Court and Court of Appeal. Those who ran away and shunned MNK in his hours of travails are suddenly out to hijack the brief towards final success and take credit for a job they never did. And they include very  senior lawyers known to us, but who are being used by one or two persons close to MNK." 

"We shall soon expose them to the world if they do not retrace their evil  steps. Meanwhile, I have been able to speak with Prof Mike Ozekhome, SAN and delivered to him the goodwill message of his client, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. MNK told me to inform Ozekhome that he so much cherishes the Prof for his hardwork, trust, honesty, dedication and uncommon legal representation. He greatly appreciates all that Prof Mike Ozekhome has done and is still doing for him so far. He believes that God sent the courageous and cerebral Prof to deliver him from the hands of the Federal Government. We thank God Chief has since recovered and now taking some well deserved rest in line with the Doctor’s advice. He has promised to visit MNK by Monday, 13th March, 2023, as he has always done."

"He will do this with Sir, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, another  senior Counsel in the unshakeable formidable legal team"
