Actor, Kenneth Okonkwo in court (Can you spot Nnamdi Kanu at the back?)
In an official statement posted on his social media account,
popular Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that he’s not part of
the defence team of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The veteran actor who is also a legal practitioner and was recently
spotted in court in his lawyer garb during the hearing of Kanu’s case,
disclosed that his presence in court during Kanu’s hearing was merely
coincidental, and nothing more.
Below is what he posted on his Instagram page;
“My attention has been drawn to some write ups insinuating that
I am one of the Defence Counsel of Nnamdi Kanu of the IPOB fame. I
state categorically that I am not one of the Defence Counsel.
“I had a different matter at the same court where he was
arraigned and we met at the Court by chance. Everybody recognized my
presence and in my usual fashion, I greeted everyone."
The actor further expressed his standpoint on the Biafra agitation
while noting that he believes in a united Nigeria, adding that the
agitation can be resolved through dialogue and added that the destiny of
Ndigbo is in Nigeria.
“I believe in the unity of Nigeria and believe that the destiny
of Ndigbo will be better served within a Nigeria based on equity and
justice. God bless Ndigbo and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I believe in the peaceful resolution of the Biafran crisis
through dialogue. We must recall that Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe opted for one
Nigeria because he believed that the arrangement will best suit our
itinerant and commercial nature.”
He wrote further;
