“Prove your apology, release Nnamdi Kanu” — IPOB lawyer to Buhari

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the legal representative of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), urges President Buhari to Kanu if he meant his apology to Nigerians.

This comes following a nationwide apology from President Muhammadu Buhari regarding anyone whose 8-year administration caused pain. The IPOB lawyer called upon the president to demonstrate the sincerity of his apology to Nigerians by releasing his client from custody. In his response, Ejimakor, the lawyer for Kanu, stated that Buhari’s approach to “self-determination” resulted in extrajudicial killings, detentions, torture, and a notorious extraordinary rendition.

“Dear @MBuhari: Your policy on self determination led to extrajudicial killings, detentions, torture & an infamous extraordinary rendition. Prove that your apology is genuine by freeing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu & all detained on account of self determination. It’s your legacy!” Ejimakor on his Twitter handle said.

People don’t want to say it to me in my face. But everybody knows the truth about the situation that is happening in their life whether they want to lie to them or not.

“There were situations when I was recording this album I was like ‘mehn! I’m going to go like this, I’m going to go like this?’ “So, when I slept and I woke up, my phone was not with me, so I was going crazy. I sent everybody away an hour before the album came out, I did my prayers, I laid down on my bed and slept. I now over slept. “I wanted to just sleep for like one hour thirty minutes so that we will celebrate. I now over slept. Woke up by 3am. I said ‘Ye!’. I was looking for my phone because I have a big suite. I went to the living room, but there wasn’t anybody in my room celebrating. I was scared like ‘wettin dey happen na?’. “So, I ran downstairs and I banged my assistant’s door ‘what’s going on, what’s going on?’. He said ‘Oga, take your phone, congratulations’.”
