A human rights lawyer, Barrister Christopher Chidera, has described an article against the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as malicious falsehood.

The lawyer while kicking against the article, said the publication is a textbook example of cowardly journalism steeped in ignorance, deceit, and a thinly veiled contempt for truth.

Chidera said the article is targeted at sowing division between Nnamdi Kanu and his people to demystify him, and to paint him as a purveyor of baseless conspiracy theories.

Chidera explains further that the motive behind it reveals a deeper British-sponsored panic particularly Kanu’s growing on Igbo collective psyche and ability to reawaken their mindset to the reality of the Nigerian deception.

He added that Kanu was in prison—not for lies, but for speaking the truth to power.

“ What the writer and their British handlers fail to understand is that Nnamdi Kanu doesn’t need propaganda to win the loyalty of his people. He has the truth. He has consistency. He has suffered more in pursuit of freedom than all these cowardly pen-wielders combined. He was abducted, tortured, renditioned, and yet he remains unbroken—while his critics remain unknown, irrelevant, and afraid.

“To the Efulefu Igbos who cheer this garbage: understand that you are dancing on the graves of your ancestors. Your silence and collaboration are part of why Igbo lands remain militarized, our youths massacred, and our freedom denied. Kanu is not the enemy. Your cowardice is.

“To the media organization who published the article, you have now confirmed your place in the long history of media houses that chose comfort over courage, paychecks over principles, and silence over truth. When history is written, you will not be remembered as journalists—but as jesters in the court of tyrants”
