Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday said the continued detention of the Biafra agitator has become mysterious.
Ejimakor warned that woes would befall those responsible for Kanu’s continued detention.
The IPOB leader has been detained since his arrest in Kenya and repatriation to Nigeria in June 2021.
Despite court orders, the Nigerian government has refused to grant him freedom, while he is locked up by the Department of State Services, DSS, in Abuja.
In a statement titled, ‘The uncanny mysteries of Nnamdi Kanu’s ordeal’, Ejimakor said: “A lot of people don’t know that in April 2005, Obasanjo arrested Mazi 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 #MNK is asking for Biafra. After nearly a month is solitary confinement at DSS headquarters in Lagos and later transferred to Abuja, #MNK 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 #MNK 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 #MNK, your guess as to what may come is as good as mine.
“MNK’s ordeal proves that the spiritual realm is a mystery to many; and this truth is self-evident: The more you detain MAZI NNAMDI KANU, the more woe betides those involved directly or by proxy. It’s a mystery but also the gospel truth. #FreeMNK and seek the face of God.”
