The Anambra State Lawyers in Defence of Democracy, ASLADD, has
urged the federal government to commence investigations into the
activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
They fear that if the group is unchecked, they might plunge the
country into another civil war, they stated.
IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu had called the group faceless and
non-existent.
A spokesperson for the group, Johnmary Jideofor, said it it was
rather unfortunate that Kanu, who was a huge beneficiary of their
legal prowess and professional benevolence, could turn around and
accuse the noble body of being responsible for a brawl in the
state.
IPOB members had allegedly disrupted a church service where
Governor Willie Obiano was worshipping in Ekwuliobia, Anambra
state.
Jideofor was part of the legal team that represented Kanu while
he was incarcerated in Kuje Prison.
“Kanu should know that this is an election where he has no
legitimate interest in whatever becomes the outcome of that
democratic exercise”, he said speaking about Kanu’s call for
election boycotts in the state.
“In our considered view, his home state Abia, with deep humility
and respect, needs more help to rescue her from dilapidated
infrastructures than our dear Anambra State that currently shines
the light in most indices of governance.
“All the madness being orchestrated by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is
ultimately aimed at possibly setting the polity ablaze, using the
fuel of hate and intimidating speeches, in the phantom hope that
the weighty criminal charges hanging on his neck would drown in the
ensuing melee.
“We are compelled to state for the umpteenth time that we shall
never fold our arms and watch Nnamdi Kanu pull our sacred
constitution apart, pollute the system with rotten speeches of
putrid hatred, acrimonious vituperations and denigrating venoms
while pouring acerbic expletives on the foundations of our
democracy in a manner that is capable of bringing an organized
society to a perilous end.
“Kanu should be rest assured that if we could use our legal
arsenal to rescue him from the Kuje gulag after waging a very
deadly and fierce legal battle on his behalf against the Federal
Government of Nigeria, amidst all odds, we equally have more than
what it takes in our legal armoury to decisively end his impunity
and defend democracy from his tyranny, imposition and buffoonery in
Anambra State, which is our primary constituency.”
