Kenya, Britain and Nigeria’s refusal to obey court orders and abide by established principles are behind the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. The group is seeking the liberation of the old Eastern Region from Nigeria.
Barr Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu’s special counsel, tweeted this on Sunday. Recall that Kanu was in 2021 arrested and detained in Kenya, and later forcefully brought to Nigeria, where he is being held at the headquarters of the Department of State Services in Abuja. Hitherto, he was charged with running a proscribed group, jumping bail and treason.
