Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the separatist is a victim of prosecutorial overkill by the state. “MNK is a victim of prosecutorial overkill by the State and the judiciary was hoodwinked. He was arraigned before an Abuja Magistrate Court in November 2015, followed by trial at the Abuja Federal High Court. On June 26, 2021, the IPOB leader was arrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition back to Nigeria where he was initially detained by the DSS and subsequently rearraigned before the Abuja Federal High Court. After a prolonged legal battle over his agitation for the actualization of Biafra, on November 20, 2025, the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of the Abuja Federal High Court.
