Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer of
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has confirmed
the authenticity of the video where the Biafra agitator was seen observing
spiritual rites in Jerusalem.
In the video, Kanu who was
dressed like a Jew, held what looked liked a scripture.
In a statement on Saturday,
Ejiofor said he received a statement from Kanu saying that the video was not
doctored.
Ejiofor alongside some IPOB
members had accused the military of keeping Kanu away from the public since his
Abia residence was raided in September 2017.
Emmanuel, a younger brother of
the IPOB leader, had asked the military to produce the corpse of Kanu if he had
been killed.
In the statement, Ejiofor said Kanu
would make a broadcast within 24 hours.
“I woke up yesterday to
scintillating news making round the social and online media to the effect that
my client (Nnamdi Kanu) was sighted in Jerusalem during a prayer session,” the
statement read.
“Initially, I wanted to
disbelieve it but for the source, struggling at the same time to come to
reality that God has kept to His Promises after the murderous invasion of his
home on the 14th day of September 2017, by rampaging Nigerian Soldiers, that
saw the horrific blood carnage witnessed in his home on this black day.
“But the God of Isaac, Abraham
and Jacob has put enemies to shame, by the development of yesterday. I cannot
forget in a haste the anxiety that had enveloped me for this past 13 months
.The anxiety over the uncertainty of his safety after my last contact with him
on the 14th day of September 2017. A day I can never forget for the rest of my
life.
“On the face of this cheerful
news staring on my face, I immediately intensified effort to ascertain the veracity
or otherwise of the video clip. Only, this morning, I received a direct
confirmation from my client, hearing once from him after 13 months in
captivity.
“I am very delighted therefore,
to use this singular opportunity to announce to the world that my client is the
very person seen in the pictures/video. That I can confirm authoritatively.
“Furthermore, the shocking tale
of how he made it alive once again will be made public in his scheduled world
press broadcast to be beamed live within the next 24 hours.”
Ejiofor said Kanu would reveal
what happened at his residence during the military invasion.
He expressed gratitude to Kanu’s
supporters for their prayers and encouragement while the IPOB leader was away
from the public.
“The general public and indeed
the world is advised to keep a date with this broadcast. The world will now
hear from the horse’s mouth, the gory accounts of what happened in my client’s
home on the 14th day of September 2017, only tomorrow,” he said.
“Thank you all for your prayers
which had sustained him throughout the period of 13 months in captivity. To His
most Mighty name shall all the glory be ascribed unto.
“It’s not yet over for the
Nigerian Soldiers, because they are still under a compelling duty to offer
explanation to the court why they moved their Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC)
into the home of my client on the 14th day of September 2017 and the genocidal
massacre of over 50 (fifty) members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
in my client’s home.”
