Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has refuted reports that the Biafra agitator agreed to abide by “any conditions” for his release.
Ejimakor said Kanu will abide only by the negotiated terms
of his release.
He issued the clarification after leading the legal team to
a routine meeting with Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services,
DSS, in Abuja.
Abia South Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe had disclosed that
Kanu agreed to comply with any conditions set by the President Bola Tinubu-led
Federal government for his release from the custody of the DSS.
Abaribe was said to have disclosed this during a meeting
between the Southeast senators and the Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, on Kanu’s release.
Led by Senator Abaribe, approximately 15 federal lawmakers
participated in the closed-door meeting.
Abaribe, speaking on behalf of his colleagues after the
meeting, expressed optimism that the Attorney-General would influence the
Federal Government to consider releasing Kanu.
However, in a chat, Ejimakor said: “The
legal team met with MAZI NNAMDI KANU today. The news that he will abide by “any
conditions” for his release is incorrect.
“What was meant is that he will abide by the “NEGOTIATED
terms” of his release and on other matters related thereto, such as was also
agreed in August 2017.”
