Barr Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, says his client is not facing a court martial, hence should be given a fair hearing in his ongoing trail.
He stated this while reacting to the seizure of a “critical legal document” which he had gone to deliver to Kanu at the Department of State Services on Monday in Abuja.
Ejimakor, via his X, vowed that Kanu would not be tried “under violations like this”.
According to him, “I just exited from today’s visitation with Onyendu #MNK. I took a critical legal document to him to preview but, as usual, the DSS seized the document & never brought it back until I left. MNK will never be tried under violations like this. It’s not a court-martial. #FairHearing.”
The IPOB leader has been in detention at the custody of the DSS since June 29, 2021 when he was renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria. He is accused of running a proscribed group, jumping bail and treason.
His recent bail application was declined by Justice Binta Nyako of the Abuja Federal High Court. The Justice however promised accelerated hearing of Kanu’s case.
