Legal counsel for proscribed Igbo separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Barr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has cried out over alleged threat to his life and that of his family. Ejiofor who disclosed the threats in a petition to the Inspector General of Police dated December 29, 2025, said he has been forced to come officially make the threats public so that Nigerians and the international community are aware of what he described as a calculated campaign of intimidation and hostile conduct. He noted that he has been receiving the threats through calls and text messages, adding that the public alarm became pertinent because of the increasing threats to his life and the safety of his family. He stressed that the alarm elicited from calls, messages, and expressions of deep concern from well-meaning individuals across all strata of society. He stated that despite raising such alarm in the past, the threats have since persisted and intensified, forcing him to place the factual and historical account before the world. “Recall that I raised a public alarm concerning manifest and credible threats to my life and the safety of my family. That alarm elicited calls, messages, and expressions of deep concern from well-meaning individuals across all strata of society,” the human rights lawyer said in the petition. “Regrettably, rather than abate, these threats have since persisted and intensified, compelling me to place this factual and historical account before the world. “It is common knowledge that I am presently at my ancestral home in Oraifite, Anambra State, together with my family, for the Christmas and New Year festivities,” he added.
