Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has exhorted his followers not to be dispirited, assuring them that victory was assured.

Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the detention facility of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja since he was rearrested in Kenya last year sent the message through one of his lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor.

Nnamdi Kanu, who is standing trial for treason, further said that enemies against the struggle for Biafra Republic were already coming together to stop its actualisation but advised his legal team to be strong and avoid distraction.

Insisting that this was a very critical period as victory was staring them on the face, Nnamdi Kanu said, “Any opportunity offered to be distracted will take us back because the enemies are united in their resolve but their evil plots are all surmountable.”

The statement by the IPOB Lead Counsel, on Friday, titled, “Update on our routine visit to our indefatigable client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Department of State Services (DSS) headquarters, Abuja on March 3, 2022,” which was made available to TheNiche, reads:

“The court-ordered routine visit to our indefatigable Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was observed yesterday, 3rd March, 2022.

“After days, which turned into weeks of grandstanding, we were able to meet with our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. In his unshaken/undeterred resolve, Onyendu was in high spirits yesterday.

“Onyendu took time to explain why he protested against the denial of access to his lawyers during the last three successive visits. He was deeply troubled with those incidents, particularly when it was done in flagrant disregard and violation of extant Orders of Court.

“We understood Onyendu’s grouse and seized the opportunity to intimate him of the measures we have taken so far to ensure that such ugly incident does not reoccur.

“Onyendu used the opportunity to offer advice and words of encouragement particularly to myself. He took his time to urge me to remain resolute and focused, and never to be distracted by the deliberate evil ploys of the enemies to break me.

“Indeed, Onyendu saw tomorrow! Unknown to him that at the time he was handing down these words of encouragement and encomium, the slander mongers were hurriedly putting together another stunt which, was however, DEAD ON ARRIVAL.

“Onyendu particularly encouraged me to be strong and even more stronger in the coming days. He said that I should expect more and more slander, but I should be assured that himself and UmuChineke will always be there for me.

“We all agreed that this is a very critical period as victory is staring on our faces and, any opportunity offered to be distracted will take us back because the enemies are united in their resolve but their evil plots are all surmountable.

“As for me, I am firm and solid any day any time. I remain firm like the rock of Gibraltar! Forward ever and backward never.

“On a lighter note, Onyendu requested his visiting team to make out time to hang out and enjoy some bottles of drinks.

“In summary, Onyendu is in very strong and firm spirit now than before. He implores all his followers and UmuChineke to remain undivided, resolute and unshaken in their resolve for victory.

“Onyendu assures everyone that he will come out victorious and stronger. He commended his supporters and UmuChineke, and urged you to remain prayerful and continue to be peaceful in your conduct as you have always demonstrated over time. Onyendu is profoundly proud of you all.

“We appreciate you all, UmuChineke, for your support and perseverance. Be assured that it will surely end in PRAISES.”
