Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Hails Us for Condemning IPOB Leader’s Detention in Report

Nnamdi Kanu’s Lead Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, has commended the United States report that criticised the Federal Government for violating the IPOB leader’s human rights.

Ejimakor described the US position on the report as “a demonstration of diplomatic courage.”

You will recall that ‘the 2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices: Nigeria’ berated the Federal Government over its handling of Kanu’s case when it said, “Nigeria’s secret police had violated Kanu’s rights during his arrest and extradition”.

Reacting to the report in a press release today, Ejimakor said Kanu’s legal team hailed the report and noted it was a laudable position for the US government.

He lamented that it is becoming increasingly clear that Nnamdi Kanu may never get a fair trial by dint of the grave complications created by the locale of his current detention
