Aloy Ejimakor, the legal consultant of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has described the prosecution of the African Action Congress, AAC, presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, as a dangerous gamble. ‎‎“Repeating such heavy-handed tactics against political opponents near an election cycle is a dangerous gamble. ‎‎“Rather than escalating the state’s fight against an active presidential candidate, the Attorney-General should return to court next time to enter a nolle prosequi and discontinue the case. ‎‎“Subjecting a presidential candidate to the rigors of trial so close to the general election creates terrible democratic optics. It is time to discontinue the case and protect our democratic stability,” he wrote.
