The People of Oraifite in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State have called on Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to desist from fuelling insecurity in the area.
The President General of the community, Sir Vin Dike, who addressed reporters at the Oraifite Civic Centre on behalf of the town, urged Ejiofor, who is one of their kinsmen, to return home and assist the community in restoring peace and tranquility it had enjoyed over the years.
Dike also refuted Ejiofor’s alleged assassination plot against him by Sir Emeka Offor, a businessman and kinsman.
Ejiofor had recently raised the alarm over Offor’s plan to assassinate him, using one of his relatives.
Ejiofor, in a statement titled, ’Plots to assassinate me leaked!’, warned Nigerians and security agencies not to take the threat lightly.
While revealing that he ran into trouble with Offor after challenging him on his atrocities in Orafite, Ejiofor warned that the businessman should be held responsible if anything happened to him.
His words, ‘He has been my tormentor in the village because I challenge all his ills in our dear town and equally, rescued innocent persons he marked to kill and most times abducted with police.
‘He sees me as his major rival in the village. The act of burning down my house and neighborhood is his handiwork. Killing of my PA which was a hatchet job prosecuted by hirelings was equally his brainchild,’ Ejiofor had alleged.
