Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention Is Humiliation Of 70 Million Igbo People —IPOB Leader’s Lawyer, Ejimakor
Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, one of the lawyers representing the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has said the continued detention of the IPOB leader is akin to humiliating 70 million Igbo people in the country.
Ejimakor said this in a tweet made on Friday, in which he also noted that it would be difficult to separate Igbo people from Kanu.
He said, “If you think you can separate MAZI NNAMDI KANU from Ndigbo, think again because it’s impossible. The two are – like Siamese twins – joined together FOREVER. So, detaining #MNK amounts to virtually detaining and humiliating 70 million Igbos. That’s impolitic and dicey to boot.”
Ejimakor earlier said that the detention of the IPOB leader was not based on the law of the land but on the politics of tribe and ethnicity.
