Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Counsel to the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, would have been prevented if handled professionally.

It, however, commiserated with the police and others who lost lives and properties to the incident, appealing to the force to handle the case with international best practices principle, while enjoining the citizens never to take laws into their hands.
