Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Mr. Aloy Ejimakor, yesterday arrived in Sokoto State to visit the separatist agitator currently serving a life sentence.
Ejimakor travelled to the state in the company of Kanu’s wife, Uchechi, and his brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu.
The trio are scheduled to meet with the IPOB leader at the Sokoto State Custodial Centre, where he was transferred after his conviction.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had last week sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment after finding him guilty on terrorism-related charges.
His relocation to Sokoto followed immediately after the judgment.
Announcing their arrival in a post on X, Ejimakor urged the Igbo nation to intensify efforts to secure Kanu’s freedom.
According to Ejimakor: “I just arrived Sokoto (with Prince Emmanuel Kanu & his wife) to have a visitation with MAZI NNAMDI KANU.
“Ndigbo must vigorously rise to the urgent task of freeing #MNK from this ordeal & injustice that reflect on all of us.”
