Drama As Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Chased Out of Court
Drama in court as the trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has been stalled momentarily by dissenting views as to who his legal counsel is.
According to The Cable, Vincent Obetta who had represented the IPOB leader since the beginning of his travails, was absent at the Federal High Court, Abuja on Monday, January 18, where Kanu is being tried for charges bordering on treason against the state.
In his place, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who claimed to have been hired as a legal counsel by Kanu, stood before the court.
However, Nnamdi Kanu’s brother was not comfortable with the change and asked Ejiofor to leave, stating that Vincent Obetta is the only recognized counsel to the IPOB leader.
Ejiofor stayed for sometime but subsequently left the court room. Kanu’s case however, failed to come up.
Obetta subsequently revealed to The Cable that Kanu’s family was still trying to straighten out the matter of legal representation.
