Kenneth Okonkwo Shuts Down Claims That He is Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer

Kenneth Okonkwo has spoken up following claims that he is on the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s defence team.

” I state categorically that I am not one of the Defence Counsel,” said the actor.

Yesterday, the Nollywood legend was spotted at the Abuja High Court where Nnamdi Kanu appeared. Photos were taken, publications followed with claims that he was on Kanu’s defence team. However, Kenneth Okonkwo denies the assertions, hence, he is clarifying his stance on his social media pages.

And that’s not all.

The actor dissociates himself from the struggles of the IPOB.

Read his full note:

“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. 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.“
