Aloy Ejimakor, lead counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday said the travails of the agitator is adversely impacting his family.
Ejimakor said those working against moves by Kanu’s family to secure his release are against the IPOB leader.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “Let this be clear: The travails of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu impacts most on members of his immediate family who are the frontline stakeholders & thus better placed to act in his best interest.
“Those working against every move made by his family members are actually working against #MNK.”
This is coming after Kanu’s brother, Kanunta, accused President Bola Tinubu of reneging on his promise to release the IPOB leader.
Kanunta claimed that he had a pact for Kanu’s release with the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, in the build-up to the 2023 presidential election.
He disclosed that the meeting had the blessing of the President.
Kanunta, however, lamented that Tinubu has refused to honour the agreement to release the IPOB leader.
The IPOB leader has been incarcerated since 2021 when he was rearrested and forcefully repatriated from Kenya to Nigeria.
