Legal practitioner, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has thrown a shade after a drama that ensued in court on Monday involving the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and his lawyers.

It would be recalled that Ejiofor once represented Kanu in the terrorism and treasonable felony case against him by the Federal Government.

He was, however, fired alongside Mike Ozekhome (SAN) by the IPOB leader who is now being represented by Aloy Ejimakor and others.

A video from Monday's court proceedings showed Kanu lamenting that Nigeria is plagued by poor knowledge of the law.

He could also be seen slapping the back of his lawyer who was interrupting his speech in court, an act condemned by many.

In an apparent reaction to the drama between Kanu and his lawyers, Ejiofor shared on X, "You cannot bring in a monkey to work on your farm and expect the results of a bulldozer. Life operates on the principle of input and output - what you invest is what you get in return. When the time of reckoning arrives, there will be no space for deceit, blackmail, or falsehoods."
