Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, said on Monday that President Bola Tinubu, not the courts, is responsible for the agitator’s detention.
Ejimakor stated that Tinubu can order the Attorney General of the Federation to halt Kanu’s trial as the responsibility rests with him, citing Section 174 of the constitution.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “It’s the President, not the Court, that is holding #MNK. Sec. 174 of the Constitution says that ‘the Attorney General can stop any criminal trial initiated by him’ against anybody.
“Tinubu can direct the AGF to stop the trial of MNK. @officialABAT, the buck stops at your table.”
Ejimakor also faulted the claims of one Nigeria, alleging that Igbos are being punished for voting the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
“Where’s the #OneNigeria when Ndigbo are being punished for voting @PeterObi.
“They forget that Ndigbo also voted for Shagari, OBJ, Yar’Adua, GEJ & Atiku & Yoruba voted for Obasanjo, Ijaw voted for GEJ & Hausa-Fulani voted for Shagari, Yar’Adua & Atiku. #FreeMNK to prove me wrong,” he added.
