The statement reads: “We wish to urge members of the public to discountenance the ranting and distractions by one Emeka Ugwuonye, an attention seeker who is bent on defaming and distracting our legal luminary, Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor.
“We know the mission of this man who has been hired by the enemies of our struggle to distract our honourable legal representative but his mission is dead on arrival.
“We wish to put it to this man that he cannot succeed in his evil mission by writing fiction against our most respected lawyer.
“Emeka Ugwuonye is aware that IPOB can never hire him no matter how much he schemes. IPOB only goes for the erudite, tried and trusted legal luminaries.
“Emeka Ugwuonye should know that he is playing with liquid fire with the way he is going. We demand that he must immediately desist from making further derogatory remarks against our lead Counsel and retrace his steps as IPOB will not tolerate any further distraction to our hardworking lawyer so he can concentrate on his job.
“A word is enough for the wise.”
