Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has cried out that he's in Kuje prison.
MyNigeria reported that Ejimakor and Kanu's brother, Emmanuel, were moved to Kuje Magistrates court on Tuesday after they were arrested on Monday.
Both men were arrested by the police for joining a protest seeking the release of Kanu, who is facing treason and terrorism charges in court.
Giving an update on his situation, Ejimakor wrote, "I am safe & sound but still under custody at Kuje prison. The Magistrate refused to listen to our submissions. He insisted on remanding us till Friday and got his way. For context: Keep in mind that they bypassed several Magistrate courts in town and headed to this one in Kuje."
Meanwhile, another group led by an Igbo man and a patriotic Nigerian, Ijele Speaks @IjeleSpeaks2, staged a protest against the release of the IPOB leader.
The group is referred to as Mega National Movement for Good Governance (MMMGG).
Members were seen with banners with different inscriptions calling for the continuation of the trial of Kanu,
They also warned against any form of blackmail against the judiciary and the legal process Kanu is facing.
Their protest was staged in Abuja while a #FreeNnamdiKanu protest was ongoing in the capital city on Monday.
Reacting, an X user, @JamesOnyii07, said, "Good one @IjeleSpeaks2. The government of Nigeria should continue to keep that #K!llerOfEasterners with the DSS, until he and his legal team are ready for him to face justice for all his atrocities in Igbo land. Governors at this moment don't want him amongst their people."
