Monday 1st Nov.2021:Special counsel and lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Aloy Ejimakor, has said it is not a crime to demand self-determination as it is a way to create new countries.
The lawyer also disclosed that IPOB is neither a terrorist nor a violent group, adding that terrorist organisations do not have addresses across the world.
Ejimakor disclosed this via his Twitter page, @AloyEjimakor on Sunday, adding that the pro-Biafra group has fixed addresses in countries around the world.
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),Nnamdi Kanu is facing charges of treasonable felony and terrorism levelled against him by the Nigerian government.
His lawyers including Ejimakor have told journalists several times that Kanu was abducted in Kenya and illegally extradited to Nigeria, saying it has made it lawless for President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime to prosecute him.
"The #IPOB I defend is NOT a terrorist group. It's also NOT a violent group.
"It's not a crime to desire a separate country. That's how new nations are created.
"Terrorist groups don't have fixed & open addresses. IPOB has fixed & open addresses in many countries of the world," Ejimakor tweeted.
