Aloy Ejimakor, legal adviser to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said that many Igbos are dissatisfied with the conviction of the Biafra agitator.
Ejimakor warned that if Kanu’s life imprisonment is not urgently addressed, Igbos would make their feelings known during the 2027 elections.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Ejimakor, he wrote:
“I travelled around the entire Southeast during this Xmas/New Year period & noticed that Ndigbo are very unhappy about the conviction of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and that if it’s not rectified urgently, they will surely make their feelings known in the 2027 elections. Even Google confirms it.”
It will be recalled that last year, an Abuja Federal High Court sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of terrorism-related charges.
Justice James Omotosho handed Kanu the sentence, noting that he should have been given the death penalty by hanging, but the court opted for leniency in the ruling.
For about 10 years, Kanu has faced various charges, ranging from treason to terrorism, due to his agitation for Biafra.
