Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention Will Attract Woes To Those Involved, Just Like It Happened To Buhari –IPOB Leader’s Lawyer, Ejimakor
Ejimakor, who said this on Thursday, recalled how then President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration arrested and detained Kanu for almost a month in April 2005 over his Biafra Nation agitation but later released him unconditionally.
Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that continuous detention of the Biafra Nation agitator will bring more woes to those involved in his detention and trial.
Ejimakor, who said this on Thursday, recalled how then President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration arrested and detained Kanu for almost a month in April 2005 over his Biafra Nation agitation but later released him unconditionally.
The lawyer, Ejimakor, pointed out that former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, who chose not to arrest Kanu, were able to complete their terms in office without incident and peacefully transfer power.
He contrasted this with the situations of former President Muhammadu Buhari and current President Bola Tinubu, implying that their handling of the situation has led to a different outcome.
He said, “A lot of people don’t know that in April 2005, Obasanjo arrested Nnamdi Kanu on his way back to the UK after visiting his parents in Umuahia.
“The lame reason given by DSS for the arrest was that Nnamdi Kanu is asking for Biafra. After nearly a month in solitary confinement at DSS headquarters in Lagos and later transferred to Abuja, Nnamdi Kanu was released unconditionally to return to the UK.
“Obasanjo served out his term in peace and grew the Nigerian economy.
“President Jonathan never bothered to arrest Nnamdi Kanu despite his open and vociferous agitation for Biafra self-determination and Jonathan too served out his term in relative peace and made Nigeria the number one economy in Africa.
“We know what has become of Nigeria under Buhari (the Renditioner-in-Chief) and now that President Tinubu has persisted in the unjust persecution of Nnamdi Kanu, your guess as to what may come is as good as mine.
“Nnamdi Kanu’s ordeal proves that the spiritual realm is a mystery to many; and this truth is self-evident. The more you detain Nnamdi Kanu, the more woe betides those involved directly or by proxy. It’s a mystery but also the gospel truth. Free Nnamdi Kanu and seek the face of God.”
