Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the Biafra agitator ought to have been released by the Supreme Court ruling of December 15, 2023.
Ejimakor said the Supreme Court had ruled that Kanu was on bail and in custody of the law when his home was illegally invaded by military officers. Recall that Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court had granted Kanu bail in 2017. Shortly after the bail, the IPOB leader eloped to Europe after military personnel invaded his residence in the Afaraukwu area of Abia State. He was however rearrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria in 2021.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: 'It’s not wrong for anybody to say that MAZI NNAMDI KANU ought to be freed on the basis of the 15th December 2023 judgment of the Supreme Court because, despite remitting the case for trial, the Court also held that Kanu “was on bail and therefore in custody of the law when his home was illegally invaded by heavily armed military officers of the appellant causing him to flee from his home and the country to secure his life.
