Kanu’s lawyer exonerates Interpol in arrest of IPOB leader in Kenya

Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has exonerated the Interpol in the arrest of the Biafran agitator in Kenya and his extradition to Nigeria.

Kanu was arrested in the East African country on June 19, 2021, and extradited to Nigeria to face trial for alleged treason after he had jumped bail in 2017, after an invasion of his home by the military in Afara-Ukwu, near Umuahia in Abia State, with fingers pointing at the international police.

The then Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, while speaking on the arrest, said Kanu was “intercepted through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence and security services”.
