Did Buhari Bribe Nnamdi Kanu's Team of Lawyers?

IPOB has accused the Nigerian President of bribing her leader's lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor to sabaotage the state of IPOB's affairs and render her leader not worthy.

Spokespersons to the IPOB, Emma Nmezu and Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, on friday said that the Niger Delta militants and IPOB were fighting for the same cause. And that Ifeanyi's statements disassociating Nnamdi Kanu from MEND is a clear indications of the President's plan to sabotage Kanu by bribing his lawyer. To this effect the spokespersons have announced the sack of he entire team of lawyers representing Kanu.
In a press conference held earlier today the spokespersons have this to say.

  “ The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Worldwide has been reliably and incontrovertibly informed that some of the utterances of their defence lawyers were made without consultation. These utterances border on negotiations and some were against the Niger Delta Avengers.As a result of this unsolicited and unguarded utterances, the defence team has been sacked and will be replaced. The IPOB leader wishes to state categorically that the only thing we are open to is negotiations that will lead to modalities and processes to restore Biafra and avert further hardships on the people of Nigeria who have been under bondage since his kidnapping and illegal detention.The Niger Delta Avengers arose because of the in he rent injustice in Nigeria as manifested in the disregard to the rule of law when Buhari refused to obey court order to unconditionally release our leader, Nnamdi Kanu.We spoke the mind of our leader when we stated for record purposes that IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers share the same ideology of freedom for Biafra.Anybody publicly dissociating IPOB from Niger Delta Avengers is a mortal enemy of IPOB family worldwide under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu. Let it be known that as long as Buhari and Daura continue to tamper with Nnamdi Kanu‘s defence team through bribery, inducements and intimidation, IPOB will keep on changing the team.For the records, the press conference by the now-sacked legal team was about bringing to public knowledge the foolishness of the Department of State Services (DSS) in bringing treasonable felony charges against our leader and the lack of evidence thereof.The press conference was never about negotiations because should negotiations start, IPOB will notify the world about it. Right now, we are not negotiating and will not negotiate until existing court orders ordering the release of Nnamdi Kanu are obeyed...“

Though the entire team of lawyers were sacked Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor will continue to act as lead counsel temporarily until other counsels are appointed

Premier League: Ahmed Musa, Leicester Starts on Wrong Note

With the kick off of Premier League this Saturday and Leicesters City's defeat, it obviously seems the Nigerian international player Ahmed Musa is kicking off on the wrong note as Hull City claimed the game by 2-1.

Though the team played well on their first half and Riyad Mahrez scored in the second half, it wasn't enough for the team to stick their neck up.

However, Hull went into the lead just before half-time as Snodgrass corner was connected with a header by David which Kasper Schmeichel pushed into the path of Hernandez and Diomande and both applied a bicycle kick at the same time to score but the goal was later awarded to Diomande.

Hull City's Gray earned a penalty for Leicester at the early minutes of the second half which Riyad Mahrez dis not hesitate to make it count, pulling a draw, however Robert Snodgrass saved the day for Hull with his 57min score putting it to 2-1

As much as Leicester tried they couldn't hold up the game and this landed them the first defending champions to lose the the opening of the season.
