“Prominent among the falsehood desperately championed by mischief makers is the trending subject that our dear client, our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been flown to China, and from China to Israel, and from Israel to Kontokatafi etc. We know the purveyors of these fake news and they are aware that their evil conspiracies are dead on arrival.
“Our leader was equally amazed by another fake news that was making headlines in some social media quarters, that he was asked to sign any document before regaining his freedom. This is total falsehood and he is urging his esteemed followers to please ignore this falsehood.
“Above all, our indefatigable client is strong and tenaciously holding firm in spirit. He is ready for the Oct. 21 appearance in court. This date is SACROSANCT and shall remain so.
“Thankfully, the Federal Government of Nigeria is fully aware of this date, and more compelling is the fact that the detaining authority has since over a month ago, concluded every purported investigation into the matter. Hence, no plausible excuse will be available to them not to produce Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in court on Oct. 21. You must all see him live and direct on this date.
“Our leader did not forget to once again express his heartfelt gratitude to you all, his teeming supporters for your unwavering solidarity. He is profoundly overwhelmed, and consequently implored you all to intensify your prayers, and remain vigilant at all times. He prays for the Almighty Chukwuokike Abiama to reward you all in thousand folds for all the sacrifices you are making in this show of unshaken solidarity, loss of earnings and income.
“Our Client – Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu urges millions of his followers and supporters to continue to conduct themselves and carry on within the ambit of the laws, as you all have always done. More strikingly and commendable is the fact that your solidarity has remained unshaken against all intimidating circumstances, and for this, he is deeply grateful.
“We are all in total agreement that this situation will come to pass soon. Hence, your doggedness, perseverance and prayers shall greatly count in times like this.
“Our leader advised his supporters and millions of followers to go into dry fasting as the D-Day approaches, because resounding victory will be ours on this date and the Almighty Chukwuokike Abiama will be given the glory and adoration in the end, Iseee!!!”
