Barrister Shuaib Labaran, the lead counsel to the Federal government of Nigeria says, the detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) was denied access to new clothes by the secret police because he intend to use it and intimidate the government. This is coming as Mike Ozekhome, one of the legal representative of Nnamdi Kanu expressed displeasure with the court for not taking appropriate actions against the DSS for flagrant disobedience to court injunction. Fidelity Leaderboard Labaran while addressing the court said, “Nnamdi Kanu was denied a change of clothes because, it has a “Lion Head” on it. He intends putting on Ishiagu attire, to intimidate the Government.” Meanwhile, Justice Binta Nyako has again ruled that, Nnamdi Kanu should be allowed to put on any plain clothes, but not Igbo or Biafra traditional attire as DSS said that IPOB leader intend intimidating the Federal government with his traditional clothes.

  Award-winning author, Chimamanda Adichie, has revealed shocking events that unfolded at the church where her mother’s funeral thanksgiving Mass was held. Grace, her mother, died in March last year, about eight months after James, her father, also passed away. She was buried on May 1, 2021 while the funeral thanksgiving mass held the next day at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Njikoka LGA, Anambra state. In a recent interview with TVC, the celebrated writer revealed what transpired at the thanksgiving mass. According to the writer, the funeral mass had barely started when the priest called her out over comments she made about the Catholic church in an interview. Chimamanda said his remark left her and her family who were still grappling with the loss of their mother further devastated. “I have never been afraid of criticism. So, if this priest had written something to criticise me, or even shouted at me at some other venue but the Holy mass of my mother’s funeral, it would have been okay,” she said. “I really would not have minded. But to do this at my mother’s funeral… This man did not think that my mother deserved the respect, the basic courtesy of having a funeral that would not turn into a raucous market.” The author and feminist also recounted how the priest allegedly bullied her family when her father was about to be buried over money. “I wanted to say a lot more about the priest that day but I held back. I only told the church that I gave money. I did not tell them other things such as how the priest bullied my family when my father was buried over money. How when we presented a cow to the church, he was upset because he wanted us to monetise it,” she added.

  Mr Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has said that the Kenyan Government had filed a document in court to show that there was no immigration record of Kanu’s departure from Kenya after his arrival to the country on May 12, 2021. A release jointly issued by Ejimakor; and the IPOB Leader’s brother, Kanunta Kanu, argued that the position of the Kenyan Government had made the circumstances under which Kanu “disappeared” from Kenya a more grievous offence, claiming that serious consequences await all those involved in the action. In the latest Affidavit filed by the Kenyan government in defence of the suit filed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya, it asserted that there was no immigration record of Kanu’s departure from Kenya after his last arrival on 12th May 2021. BREAKING: Kanu may go blind, his sight deteriorating, Ozekhome tells court The release made available to Vanguard read in part: “In the Affidavit “drawn up and filed” by the Attorney-General of Kenya and deposed to in Nairobi, Kenya on 10th February 2022, the Government of Kenya attached Kanu’s arrival and departure record from Kenya from 17th July 2019 to 12th May 2022 when he last entered Kenya. “Paragraph 12 of the Affidavit stated, “That it is evident from the schedule below that since 17/7/2019, the said Nwannekaenyi Nnamdi Kenny Okwu-Kanu has visited and departed Kenya on several occasions”. “Paragraph 13 of the Affidavit states “That from the above travel history, it is evident that his last arrival date was 12/5/2021 and there is no evidence exhibited to prove that he thereafter left the country”. “Paragraph 14 of the Affidavit stated, “That I am not privy to his (Kanu’s) arrest, detention or extradition”. Kanu’s lawyers argued that: “It is pertinent to note that this Affidavit, having been “drawn up and filed” by the Attorney-General of Kenya is the clearest official confirmation yet from the government of Kenya that what happened to Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya amounts to a crime, both in Nigeria, Kenya and under international law. “With this latest development, Kanu’s ordeal in Kenya has turned a new corner where domestic and international criminal indictments will lie against the persons that directly or indirectly participated in this high crime. It has gone beyond extraordinary rendition.”
