Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on Saturday said the Biafra agitator is alive and will address his supporters today direct from Jerusalem, Israel.
Ejiofor, who had previously accused the Nigerian Army of abducting Kanu during the September 2017 invasion of his residence in Umuahia, said the video showing him praying in Israel 13 months after he disappeared was authentic.
Ejiofor, in a statement, said, “This morning (yesterday), 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.
“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 (today).”
Meanwhile, a former Aviation Minister, Fani-Kayode while also affirming the authenticity of Kanu’s recent video/pictures in Jerusalem said on Twitter that he “just received a call from my brother Nnamdi Kanu.
“I am delighted that he is alive and well. I commend his strength and courage even as I marvel at the loyalty, resilience and commitment of his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and IPOB. We have agreed to work together to VOTE Buhari out.”
