Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu’s family has paid heavy price for his agitation – IPOB lawyer, Ejimakor

Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said the family of the Biafra agitator has paid a heavy price for his agitation.

Ejimakor said the matter of Biafra has impacted heavily on the family of Kanu.

Kanu has been incarcerated since June 2021 when he was picked up in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition to Nigeria.

Since his return to Nigeria, the IPOB leader has remained locked up by the Department of State Services (DSS), despite court orders that discharged and acquitted him.

In the course of Kanu’s Biafra agitation, the military, under the codename Operation Python Dance, had attempted to eliminate him but failed.

Soldiers had invaded Kanu’s residence in Afaraukwu in Abia State but missed him.

Amid the agitation for Biafra, Kanu lost both parents.

However, posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “The matter of MAZI NNAMDI KANU & #Biafra have impacted equally, if not more, on his immediate family & they’ve fought & led from the front, contributing most to every case won, including Appeal Court, Kenya, Umuahia, UN, Enugu & AU. And they’ve paid a heavy price. #PythonDance.”
