Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor

The  police in Anambra State  has declared Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu wanted.

This, according to the Commissioner of Police , John Abang, was “in connection with the alleged murder of two police officers in Oraifite, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of the state”.

 Mr. Abang who made the declaration on Tuesday in Awka, the Anambra State capital
said,  “I’ll like Nigerians to know that Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a member of the proscribed IPOB, has been declared wanted .
“ I’ll seek the cooperation of law- abiding Nigerians , East , West , North , and South that wherever they find this individual , they should report to the nearest police station for possible arrest and prosecution based on the rules and laws of Nigeria”.

The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Haruna Mohammed, had in a statement said two police officers were killed by the suspected IPOB members while others were inflicted with machete cuts in the incident.

IPOB had on Tuesday accused the police of setting fire on the home of Ejiofor in Oraifite , Anambra State.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group wondered why the Police would go further to raze the lawyer’s home even after killing two unarmed and innocent civilians .
It maintained that the carelessness of the police in handling the petrol they used to drench Ejiofor’s home and nearby businesses before setting them on fire led to the fire that gutted a police van.
