Barrister Aloy Ejimakor has said the chains on the wrist of his client Nnamdi Kanu are also on the wrist of every Igbo person of this era.
Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group seeking the resurrection of the defunct Biafra Republic.
He was convicted of terrorism and sentenced to life imprisonment last year, which he currently serves in a correctional facility in Sokoto State.
However, his lawyer believes his predicament will always be an issue to Igbo people.
He wrote on X, “For avoidance of doubt, Ndigbo remains solidly behind MAZI NNAMDI KANU. The chains on his wrists are chains on the wrists of every Igbo. He’s the single factor that unifies Ndigbo in this era. That said, when time comes for reckoning of things (good or bad) Ndigbo will remember.”
Ejimakor also had words to say against governors of the Southeast concerning the proscription of IPOB.
He said, “Let the record show that #IPOB was first proscribed by SE Governors in office as of September 2017, thus encouraging the Federal Government to do the same. Justice demands that the current SE Governors Forum should take urgent steps to de-proscribe IPOB. Charity begins at home.”
