Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead lawyer to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari was interfering with the judiciary over the case of the IPOB leader.
The statement reads,"We visited our most revered client as routinely guaranteed by the court protocol at the DSS. Interestingly, a number of engaging developments were discussed including yesterday’s stereotyped response by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on issues relating to political solution in our client's case.
"What we are earnestly asking for is nothing else but for the executive arm of government led by the President of the FRN to desist from further interfering in the judicial process. We can authoritatively confirm to the world that the executive arm of the government of the FRN ably led by the President is gravely and effectively interfering in our client’s judicial proceedings.
"Our client, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should not be detained in solitary confinement in the custody of the same agency accusing him of committing sundry offences and expect fair hearing. Hence, there is no independence of the judiciary as far as this case is concerned, and the President of the FRN is fully aware of this.
Ejiofor tell your American charge and bail lawyer to stay away from our courts.
I like the fact that Fulani are panicking.
