Aloy Ejimakor, the legal representative of Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), claims that three countries, Kenya, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria, played a role in Kanu’s arrest and detention.
On Sunday, Ejimakor took to Twitter to address these allegations.
He suggested that Kenya, which should have expressed regret, should have demanded Kanu’s return.
He chastised the UK for failing to protect Kanu, who holds a British passport.
Despite appeals to the British government of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, little progress was made in obtaining Kanu’s release.
The lawyer also chastised Nigeria for failing to follow its own laws. Despite the Appeal Court in Abuja dismissing the terrorism charges against him on October 13th, 2022, the IPOB leader’s detention has continued.
Reflecting on the situation, Ejimakor said;
Mazi Kanu Kanu would have been freed, if Kenya showed contrition by demanding his return to Kenya if Britain protected him like they protected Umar Dikko in 1984 and if Nigeria decides to obey the law.
