Special counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Aloy Ejimakor, has made a startling accusation claiming that certain criminal elements are attempting to manipulate the Presidency and the court to prevent Kanu’s release.
According to Ejimakor, these individuals orchestrate insecurity in the Southeast region whenever Kanu’s court case is pending, aiming to tarnish IPOB’s image and Kanu’s reputation. While Ejimakor did not reveal the identities of these alleged saboteurs, his statement suggests a deliberate effort to disrupt the legal process and maintain instability in the region.
This development comes as Kanu’s legal team continues to push for his release, citing alleged violations of his human rights and the unlawful extension of his detention.
The situation remains tense, with IPOB supporters eagerly awaiting the outcome of Kanu’s case, according to Daily Post.
A statement by Ejimakor reads: “The now predictable spike in insecurity (in Southeast) anytime the court date of MAZI NNAMDI KANU is approaching appears to be a well-orchestrated effort by disparate criminal elements and their sponsors to influence the Presidency and the Court into not freeing #MNK from what has, by the dint of the Supreme Court judgment, degenerated to extra-constitutional detention.
“These false flags are thinly disguised manoeuvres to cast IPOB and MNK in a bad light; it’s an ancient mind manipulation game called “guilty by association,” all aimed at complicating the pursuit of justice for MNK.
“The Fifth Columnists appear to have forgotten that MNK had, on one his recent court appearances, challenged the Federal Government to release him and see if insecurity in the Southeast will not end in 2 minutes.
““By refusing to take MNK at his word, the lives lost between the last court hearing and still counting must be blamed on those that are blocking the release of MNK. In reality, these people are the true merchants of the insecurity in Southeast, not MNK or IPOB. And the question to ask is this: Why must the activities of criminals, murderers and kidnappers be attributed to IPOB without any investigation, without any credible evidence?”
