Mr Ejimakor, Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer shared what Mr. Kanu told him on Thursday morning. He stated Kanu was accused of being a Nigerian terrorist, according to the guys who kidnapped him, who were told by their sponsors that he was affiliated to Islamic militants in Kenya, similar to the Al-Shabab.

Nnamdi Kanu, the head of the pro-Biafra group IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra), reportedly divulged the information at the first opportunity since he was captured in Kenya and returned to Nigeria for treason trial around three weeks ago.

He is currently detained at the facility of Nigeria’s Secret Police, the SSS, in Abuja.
On Wednesday, Aloy Ejimakor, Mr. Kanu’s special attorney, was allowed to visit the IPOB leader inside the jail facility, where he reportedly chatted with him for almost three hours.

When they uncovered his true identity after a few days, they began to treat him more humanely. Despite this, they were obligated to deliver him up to the people who hired them Mr. Ejimakor said.

According to the IPOB leader’s revelations, the Nigerian government must have hired a third party to “intercept” Mr. Kanu, most likely without the Kenyan government’s knowledge or assistance.

Mr Kanu claimed he was held without charge and tied to a bare floor in a run-down private facility in Kenya for eight days. According to Mr Ejimakor, his legal counsel, no warrant of arrest was ever issued or availed to him.

According to his lawyer, his kidnappers told him that they kidnapped him at the request of the Nigerian government, and was subject to unimaginable cruelty and inhumane treatment in Kenya.

Without passing through airport immigration, he was blindfolded and led to the tarmac, very near to the plane. The plane took off about 12 p.m. from Nairobi and arrived in Abuja in the evening.

Kanu was transported to Abuja in a private plane from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Sunday, June 27, 2021, and he was the only passenger, he revealed. Mr Kanu was interviewed for the first time by three SSS officers in his presence.

The interview was eye-opening because it included some new charges that had never been heard before. All of the queries, however, are related to his position as the leader of IPOB, either directly or indirectly.
Despite everything he had been experienced, I noticed that he was in good spirits and looked forward to overcoming the unprecedented captivity that had taken him to Nigeria, his lawyer said.


 A trial within a trial is required.’In light of the current state of the case, I believe that before any court can try Kanu for any crimes, it must first hold a trial within a trial on the heinous incident that led him to flee Nigeria and the equally appalling act that forced him back.

Mr Ejimakor stated that no court of law, conscience, or equity will disregard those two subsequent events and go to trial.

Mr. Kanu is accused by Nigerian authorities of ‘orchestrating’ the killings of roughly 60 individuals in the country’s southeast area, including security officials.
IPOB, which the Nigerian government had banned, has denied any involvement in the killings.

While Mr Kanu is detained, two Nigerian soldiers were killed in Enugu State, in the country’s southeast, on Tuesday. The soldiers were slain, according to the Nigerian Army, after members of the Eastern Security Network, an IPOB security arm, stormed a military checkpoint.

Mr Kanu, a British-Nigerian citizen, is believed to have fled Nigeria in 2017 after jumping bail and fleeing the country during his treasonous felony prosecution.
Before fleeing the nation, his country residence in the southeast had been ransacked by Nigerian security personnel.

Mr. Kanu was recently detained, although the Nigerian government has yet to reveal how he was captured.
