Illegal invasion: Court awards N52 million for Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer

Exactly two years after the invasion of his house by security operatives during the burial of his brother in Oraifite, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of a Federal High Court in Awka, Anambra State has awarded the sum of N52 million in favour of Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel for the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Justice Dimgba found that the security agents grossly violated his fundamental rights and consequently awarded the N50 million against the Police, Army and other security agencies, as compensation for the gross violation of his rights. The Court also awarded N2 million as cost for the action still against the Police and Army, cumulatively N52 million.

Ejiofor in a statement issued on Friday titled: “Justice delayed is not always justice denied”, said his house was on December 2, 2019, invaded during the burial of his late elder brother, Rev. Chukwukpelum Louis Ejiofor, was invaded by a team of security agents comprising of the Nigerian Police and Army.

According to him, four persons were killed in his compound, and all the houses within his ancestral home including his brothers’ houses and neighbouring houses were burnt down.

To me, the security agencies under General MBuhari are not better than hoodlums, boko haram terrorists and even ISWAP

Liar Mohammed will say this is a Fake News & that the court does not have he power to award money on behalf of Federal Govt
