ORAIFITE MAYHEM: Finally Court Fixes Date To Hear Case Between Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor (IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu’s Attorney) And Nigerian Police

SAHARANEWS – The lingering accusations and counter-accusations between Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to IPOB’s ( Indigenous People of Biafra), Nnamdi Kanu, and the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), over the 2nd December bloody rampage, murder, and destruction that took place at Oraifite, Anambra state, has taken a new dimension as the Ejiofor family have petitioned the National Assembly (NASS) and the Federal High Court, Awka, demanding investigations, justice, and compensation for the mayhem allegedly perpetrated by officers of the Anambra state police command.



Copies of the petitions filed from Barr. Ejiofor’s Chamber was made available to newsmen recently, and in the petition, Ejiofor alleged that what played out at his hometown was an orchestrated plot by another prominent personality in Oraifite (name withheld by us) to assassinate him using the police, in other to gain favour, and ingratiate himself into the good books of the presidency.



The lawyer then called on the NASS to intervene in the attempt to his life, and prevail on the Federal Government of Nigeria and the NPF to immediately set aside the declaration tagging him ‘a wanted person’. “I further call on the NASS, to prevail on the Federal Government of Nigeria to set up an independent investigative panel to probe the incident that occurred at my ancestral home in Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. And to crave the indulgence of the NASS for a proactive oversight and intervention in the light of this obvious travesty of justice against me, in view of the extraordinary circumstances prevailing in the case,” he said via the petition.
