Barrister ifeanyi ejiofor, lawyer to the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has again opened up on the recent re-arrest and re-arraignment of his client.
Ejiofor made the disclosure during an exclusive interview on Arise News Morning Show on Monday, July 5, 2021.
Lawyer ejiofor indicted Kenyan authorities who he said had beaten Nnamdi Kanu to a coma while holding him in illegal detention.
He also revealed that his client was held in a private residence instead of a legal detention facility as required by the law.
Ejiofor further maintained that Nnamdi Kanu never jumped bail but was forced to seek protection for his life which was as a result of a security breach by Nigerian security authorities.
Barrister ejiofor also insisted that IPOB, though proscribed in Nigeria, was never ratified by any country or organization outside Nigeria.
He expressed worries that Nnamdi Kanu will not get a fair trial owing to the perceived “illegalities” involving the court presided by Justice Binta Nyako and the Department of State Security (DSS).
