Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has alleged that criminal elements are actively working to prevent Kanu’s release from detention.
According to Ejimakor, these elements are instigating insecurity in the South-East region, perpetrating violent crimes and attributing them to IPOB, in a bid to blackmail the organization and its leader.
In a statement, on Friday, Ejimakor revealed that the spike in insecurity in the South-East is not coincidental, but rather a well-orchestrated effort by criminal elements and their sponsors to influence the Presidency and the Court against releasing Kanu.
