There seems to be trouble in the camp of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) , Nnamdi Kanu as 2 of his lawyers fight over a N5.6 million fraud.
Bruce Fein, American lawyer and spokesperson for Kanu, in a letter, demanded that Ifeanyi Ejiofor stops defending the embattled Biafrian separatist fighter.
He cited a pending lawsuit instituted by an unnamed businessman against Ejiofor over an alleged fraud of N5.6 million.
The US based lawyer asked Ejiofor to immediately withdraw from the legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, stressing that he is not fit to battle the Federal Government in court.
In his reaction to the allegation, Ejiofor accused Fein of being bitter because he failed to see Kanu when he was in Nigeria.
“Don’t mind him (Fein). I will send you a letter which I used to appoint Fein as Kanu’s representative. I appointed Nnamdi Kanu’s spokesperson in the United States and now, because he was unable to see Nnamdi Kanu here in Nigeria, he was alleging that I was the one who stopped him from seeing Kanu. He has no locus to start writing anything,” Ifeanyi Ejiofor had told SaharaReporters.
He, however, did not address the alleged pending lawsuit instituted by a businessman against him.
Operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, had on September 2021, prevented Bruce Fein from seeing Kanu when he visited with the legal team.
He is also said to have returned to the United States since last year.
