Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the agitator is a victim of false imprisonment by the Nigerian government.
Ejimakor said it’s unacceptable for the Nigerian government to imprison Kanu over his ideas and thoughts.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “In human relations, don’t seek unnecessary attention & validation. Just do what you believe to be right. If you get a toxic reaction in return, be mature enough not to take it personally. Be less reactive & hold onto your integrity & dignity. Above all, pat yourself on the back.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a victim of false imprisonment by the Nigerian State. Period.
“It’s unacceptable to imprison a man not for any real offense but for his thoughts and ideas that the state is seeking to suppress by means of false imprisonment.
“The best way of fighting for such a man is to never stop fighting for him. Let him know every day that he is remembered.”
