Biafra: ‘Nnamdi Kanu in prison for fighting for his people’ – Lawyer
Special Counsel Claims Nnamdi Kanu Imprisoned for Activism
Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserted that Kanu is serving a life sentence due to his activism on behalf of his people.
In a recent post on social media platform X, Ejimakor emphasized that Kanu’s imprisonment is not related to allegations of property purchases in Kenya or personal misconduct, but rather his choice to advocate for his community.
Ejimakor also issued a warning to critics, urging them to reconsider their statements regarding Kanu. He indicated that legal action could be pursued against those making defamatory remarks.
“Legal Notice: Some people need to be reminded that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in prison for fighting for his people, not for allegedly buying a house in Kenya or for infidelity,” Ejimakor wrote. “So, before uttering your next defamation against him, think twice because muscular legal actions will ensue.”
Kanu was arrested in Kenya in June 2021 and subsequently extradited to Nigeria, where he was tried and convicted on terrorism charges. He is currently incarcerated at the Sokoto Custodial Centre.
