Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, has come out to calm the nerves of many of his fans after pictures of him in the court room with IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, went viral.

Many had wondered and even rumoured that he was one of the Defense counsel to Nnamdi but to the surprise of many, he has come out to clear the air that he was in court for another case and not for Nnamdi.

He stated that everything happened as a coincidence as he went about greeting everyone in court which has always been his usual style.

He added that he believes in the unity of the country and believe that the destiny of Ndigbo will be better served within a Nigeria based on equity and justice.

According to him, “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. 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 God bless Ndigbo and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
