Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and a renowned human rights lawyer, has declared that the sacrifices and achievements of Professor Mike Ozekhome, SAN, in the legal battle to secure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention must not be buried under what he described as the “shallow grave of ingratitude.”
Ejiofor condemned recent attacks on Ozekhome, describing the critics as enemies of Nnamdi Kanu, individuals who, according to him, are reaping benefits from Kanu’s continued incarceration.
In a strongly worded statement, Ejiofor emphasized that Ozekhome’s contributions are not matters of speculation but are verifiable and grounded in legal history.
He noted that all these victories were secured within a single year, a feat he attributed to Ozekhome’s legal acumen, diligence, and unwavering commitment to justice.
He decried what he termed the growing trend of malicious misinformation, stating that Ozekhome’s reputation is being attacked with the stroke of a keyboard, in an environment where the line between truth and falsehood is increasingly blurred.
