Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Ejiofor, Sends SOS To Authorities
The legal representative of embattled Leader, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor has petitioned the authorities to save him from death threats by businessman, Emeka Offor.
Ejifor made the cry in a statement in Awka, during the week, where he alleged that Offor was masterminding the plot, using one of his relatives.
His statement was titled, “Plots to assassinate me leaked!”, which he has followed up with a petition to Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, Director-General of the State Security Service (SSS), Yusuf Magaji Bichi.
In the petition entitled “NOTICE OF CONCLUDED PLOT TO ASSASSINATE SIR IFEANYI EJIOFOR, ESQ. BY CRIMINAL GANGS/ NON-STATE ACTORS PROCURED BY SIR EMEKA ORAKWUE OFFOR”, Ejiofor presented graphic details of the genesis of his problem with Offor.
According to him, he ran into trouble when he challenged the businessman on his alleged atrocities in Oraifite.
It was gathered that Ejiofor and Offor hail from Oraifite in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Ejiofor stated, “The plans have been hatched and sealed, awaiting execution. They were paid to execute this evil plot during my visit in and around the East.
“My kinsman is the chief plotter. He has handsomely paid the executioners and equipped them with the needed weapons.
“Let me put the world on Notice that should anything happen to me tomorrow, Sir Emeka Orakwue Offor should be held responsible.
“I am by this publication placing the relevant security agencies, Anambra State Government and the Federal Government, on alert.
“I have not offended anybody to deserve being killed in the manner in which their evil plots disclosed. But the God Almighty shall bring their evil plots to naught.”
He cited previous events that support his claim and cried to the Biafran Republic in his petition.
“Biafrans, my life, that of my family and workers are no more safe in the hands of these marauders. This threat must be taken seriously and should not be treated with a wave of hands!!!!!
“He has been my tormentor in the village because I challenge all his ills in our dear town and equally, rescued innocent persons he marked to kill and most times abducted with police. He sees me as his major rival in the village. The act of burning down my house and neighborhood is his handiwork.
“Killing of my PA which was a hatchet job prosecuted by hirelings was equally his brainchild,” he added.

The inquiry will have powers to summon witnesses, demand relevant police and medical records, inspect the scene of the incident and other relevant locations, receive oral and documentary evidence, and recommend protective measures for witnesses and persons at risk of intimidation or retaliation.

N59m Withdrawn After Father’s Death as Ondo Commission Arrests Son, Mother
The Ondo State Public Complaints, Financial Crimes and Anti-Corruption Commission (SPFACC) has arrested a middle-aged man identified as Tunde and his mother over the alleged withdrawal and diversion of N59 million from the bank account of his late father.
The development followed a petition by the only surviving child of the deceased, who lives abroad and returned to Nigeria after his father, stepmother and two half-siblings died within one week in August 2024.

According to a family source, the deceased died on August 11, 2024, while his first wife died three days later, on August 14.
One of their children reportedly died on August 16, while the other, who lived in Ore, died on August 18.
The cause of the four deaths has not been officially established.
Confirming the investigation, SPFACC Secretary, Prof. Adewole Adeyeye, said the commission swung into action after the surviving child discovered that N59 million belonging to his late father had been withdrawn after his death.
Adeyeye said the suspect, who is the son of the deceased’s second wife, was arrested alongside his mother.
He added that the suspect admitted withdrawing the money but denied any involvement in the deaths of his father, stepmother and half-siblings.
“The man died on the 11th, the first wife died on the 14th, the first child died on the 16th, while the last child, who lived in Ore, died on the 18th.
“The only child who survived was the one living abroad. He returned and went to the bank, where he discovered that his late father had N59 million which was withdrawn after his death.
“We swung into action and the culprit and his mother have been arrested,” Adeyeye said.
The commission also disclosed that the deceased left behind several properties, including about four buildings, lock-up shops, a resort centre and plots of land.
The suspect was also accused of selling some of the properties.
According to Adeyeye, the commission has so far recovered N10 million from the proceeds of the alleged transactions.
He said the matter was being treated as a family dispute involving the alleged misappropriation of jointly inherited assets.
“It is a collective family property which was misappropriated by one person.
“We are paying great attention to the family and are trying to settle the matter amicably, since it is a family matter,” he said.
However, the commission stressed that it had not established any connection between the alleged withdrawal or diversion of the deceased’s assets and the deaths of the four family members.
Adeyeye said the commission, under its Chairman, Justice Williams Akin Akintoroye, would continue to investigate petitions involving alleged corruption and financial crimes in the state.
