Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Ejimakor Demands Release Of Igbo Woman Detained Over Five Years For Allegedly Being Biafran She is reportedly being detained without access to her family or lawyer.

Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, a Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has demanded the immediate release of Onyeaka Ozioma Elizabeth. Elizabeth, an Igbo woman, has been detained for over five years without access to her family or legal representation. The detention has garnered public concern and has been discussed by Ejiofor, another of Kanu's attorneys.

Elizabeth was reportedly arrested by Department of State Services (DSS) operatives in Anambra State more than five years ago and transferred to Wawa Military Detention Centre in Niger State. She is currently seen within the Federal High Court in Abuja. Her legal team questions the legality of her prolonged detention and the use of Wawa Barracks as a detention facility, especially for individuals from the Southeast.
