The family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has announced the termination of the services of his lead counsel, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, and Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
The announcement was made in a statement issued by Kanu’s younger brother, Kanunta Kanu, on Thursday.
The statement cited Ozekhome’s alleged refusal to allow Kanu’s personal physicians access to him for urgent ear surgery as one of the reasons for the family’s decision.
The family also accused Ozekhome and Ejiofor of stopping medical doctors from examining Kanu on June 5, despite being informed of the appointment on June 2nd.
The statement thanked the lawyers for their time and efforts and requested that they hand over all legal documents related to Kanu’s case.
