The Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Aloy Ejimakor, has described the Biafra agitator as a victim of false imprisonment by the state.
The Lawyer made the remark while stressing that Kanu was not under any charge before any court.
He noted that Kanu’s fate does not lie with the appeal before the Supreme Court alone.
In a statement he signed, Ejimakor reiterated that Kanu’s release was not an act of mercy.
He stated that the case initiated at the Federal High Court and the one initiated at the United Nations were determined in favour of Nnamdi Kanu, therefore the narrative that freeing him lies exclusively in the hands of the Supreme Court is fundamentally false.
He further alleged that it is malicious, prejudicial and profoundly injurious to Nnamdi Kanu’s legal interest, especially as it offers the authorities the umbrage and easy political cover to persist in his illegal detention.
