Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Nnamdi Kanu, and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)’s lawyer have revealed those attempting to kill him.

Recall that Ifeanyi Ejiofor’s residence was invaded at the weekend by armed policemen and soldiers.

In a statement on Tuesday, the lawyer stated that those hugely benefiting from the hostilities in our region are after my life.

He also called for the immediate and unconditional release of his domestic workers, who were abducted by the security operatives.

He asked the Inspector General of Police, the Chief of Army Staff, and the Director-General of State Security Services “to immediately investigate their personnel that invaded my peaceful home, killed, stole and destroyed my valuables.”

He said, “Can we take it that some elements who are hugely benefiting from the hostilities in our region are after my life, apparently they are enjoying the present genocide going on in the South-East which my intervention was designed to curtail?

“Interestingly the Anambra State Police Commissioner confirmed to me that he was never aware of the operation.

How did these killers in army and police uniform drive all the way from Abuja to Anambra to unleash mayhem without notifying the CP of the state?

“I, therefore, demand for the immediate and unconditional release of my domestic staff abducted from my home during this unprovoked attack.

“Furthermore, I call on the Inspector General of Police, Chief of Army Staff, Director General of State Security Services, and the Director-General of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to immediately investigate their personnel that invaded my peaceful home, killed, stole and destroyed my valuables.

The perpetrators of this evil shall be publicly named and prosecuted without further delay.”
