Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has insisted that no charges can stand
against his client.
Ejimakor was reacting to the Federal Government’s amended
charges against Kanu.
On Friday, the Nigerian Government had amended the
seven-count terrorism charge against the IPOB leader.
In a broadcast, the Federal Government said Kanu had issued
a deadly threat that anyone who flouted IPOB’s sit-at-home order in the
South-East should write his or her will.
The Government claimed that in 2018, Kanu severally made
broadcasts that incited his members to kill security operatives and families.
Reacting, Ejimakor faulted the Federal Government for
recycling charges against Kanu.
In a series of tweets, Ejimakor said with the extraordinary
rendition and the judgments from Abuja Appeal Court and Federal High Court in
Umuahia, no charges can stick against Kanu.
He wrote: “The issue does not lie in recycling Charges. Any
prosecutor can fun & frolic with Charges, but with the extraordinary
rendition, plus the Abuja & Umuahia judgments, no Charges can ever stick
against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Never!
“The Presidency should know that the Stay granted by the
Court of Appeal did not halt compliance with the 2018 continental tribunal
Decision, the UN Opinion & the Umuahia Federal High Court Judgment, which
are all in favor of freeing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from custody & no new charges.”
