Nnamdi Kanu: Lawyer, Ejiofor Assures He Will Be Released Soon

  • “We are in high spirits that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will soon come out of detention sooner than expected, and better too.

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lawyer of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has assured that he would be released soon as the Nigerian government lacked strong evidence to use in convicting Kanu.

In a statement, Ejiofor urged Kanu’s supporters to be patient and prayerful.

According to Ejiofor, “We are in high spirits that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will soon come out of detention sooner than expected, and better too. It’s one thing for allegations to be made; it’s another thing to establish it. But I don’t think there’s anything strong enough to convict him.”

Speaking on what to expect during the July 26 court hearing.

Ejiofor said, “Nothing extraordinary will happen that day. That I can assure you. We’ll be there as usual to entertain applications. If there’s any amendment, we’ll take it up from there.

“What we have is still the 3-count charge. We also have an application overdue for hearing, that is the invasion of his house where 28 persons were killed.

“We have all the pictorial evidence. We’ll tender them before the court so the court will look at them to ensure justice.”
