“Our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is very strong in spirit.

” You will hear the rest from Prince Emmanuel Kanu.

“Our Client- Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was visibly shocked by the unwarranted embarrassment, insults and criticism meted out to his Lawyers by those who should know better. Discipline, he emphasised is the watchword, which is apparently lacking today.

He said Kanu appealed for adherence to the laid down rules and regulations of the IPOB family while encouraging everyone to remain resolute in the struggle.

On the sit-at-home protest, he said the suspension order remained in force, adding that any sit-at-home observed by any individual on Monday is only voluntary by those who feel the pains of injustice.
