Special Counsel Aloy Ejimakor of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), claims Kanu is a victim of prosecutorial overkill by the Nigerian state. Ejimakor asserts that the Nigerian government misled the judiciary regarding Kanu's prosecution. He emphasizes that Kanu's main grievance was not terrorism or treason, but the desire for a separate Biafra state.
Kanu, arrested in October 2015, faced charges of treason after his arrest. Despite being granted bail on health grounds in 2017, Kanu fled Nigeria, leading to his revocation of bail. In June 2021, he was arrested in Kenya and returned to Nigeria, where he was re-arraigned. Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment on November 20, 2025.
