His lead counsel Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor disclosed this on Facebook while given details of his routine visit to his client at the Department of States Services facility.

“Our Client Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu emphasized that he trusts his lawyers and continues to have high confidence in them.

” That anybody engaged in such harassment, threats and unfounded accusations directed against his lawyers, is definitely working against him, and that he shall never forgive such person(s) and shall eternally see such person(s) as his enemy,” he said.

Ejiofor disclosed that he was ready to defend his client on the latest charge.

He gave no further details about the contents of the amended charges.

“The coast is now clear for legal fireworks this Thursday, particularly now that we have been served with a purported Amended Charge in the Case,” he stated.

Before now, Kanu was being tried for treasonable felony but after his extradition to Nigeria, the federal government alleged that he instigated violence in the South-east region.
