Free Nnamdi Kanu Protest: Police Arrest Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, Others

Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to the detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu, has been arrested by police alongside other protesters in Abuja.

Ejimakor shared the news on his X handle on Monday, stating: “We’ve just been arrested. Myself, Prince Emanuel and others. We are at FCT COMMAND CID. Myself, Fine Boy and others. No 1 Zaria Street, Gariki 2, Abuja.”

Earlier, Ejimakor had accused police of using teargas to disperse protesters gathered outside the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, an action that caused irritation to his eyes and throat.

The protesters had assembled to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, who has been held by the Department of State Services (DSS) since June 2021. The rally is part of ongoing efforts by supporters urging the Nigerian government to comply with court orders for Kanu’s release.
