The legal counsel to IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, his brother and ten others have been remanded in Kuje prison.

 

 

 

They were arrested on Monday, October 20, for being part of the Free Nnamdi Kanu protest. Ejimakor gave this update on his X handle this morning, October 21.

 

 

 

 

‘’I am safe & sound but still under custody at Kuje prison. The Magistrate refused to listen to our submissions. He insisted on remanding us till Friday and got his way. For context: Keep in mind that they bypassed several Magistrate courts in town and headed to this one in Kuje.”Ejimakor wrote

 

 

 

According to the court document shared by former National Chairman of the Human Rights Commission of Nigeria, HRCN, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, the police charged them for inciting disturbance and breach of public peace in disobedience to a court order.

 

 

 

The suspects were accused of denying other citizens the freedom of movement, disrupting free flow of traffic while chanting war songs and requesting for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
