“Government Flaunts Its Romance with Terrorists,” Says Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Ejimakor

Aloy Ejimakor, special counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has responded to Donald Trump’s classification of Nigeria as a “country of particular concern” in response to allegations of Christian genocide in the nation.

According to reports, Trump claimed that “radical Islamists” were to blame for the numerous murders of Christians in Nigeria on Friday in a post on his Truth Social website.

The United States “cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening,” he later declared Nigeria to be a “country of particular concern.”

Ejimakor claimed in a post on his X handle that Nigeria’s designation as CPC was unavoidable due to the government’s reported deployment of tear gas on nonviolent protestors while openly courting terrorists.

“The aftermath of taking two direct hits with tear gas for expressing my legal right to peaceful assembly,” he wrote.

“A country will inevitably be labeled as a Country of Particular Concern when it tear-gasses peaceful protestors while romanticizing terrorists in front of the people. “FreeMNK”

Remember that the police in Abuja recently detained Ejimakor and a few others in connection with the free Nnamdi Kanu demonstration?

Omoyele Sowore, an activist politician, organized the rally, which was supposed to take place at the presidential villa and call for Kanu’s release from President Bola Tinubu.

After being taken into custody, Ejimakor, Prince Emmanuel, Sowore, Kanu’s brother, and others were arraigned in front of a Kuje Magistrate Court and placed under remand.

Tear gas was allegedly fired at Ejimakor and the other demonstrators as a form of punishment during the relocation procedure.

Ejimakor passed out while on remand, but the medical staff at Kuje jail took care of him right away.
