Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the lead Counsel of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has rubbished reports that the incarcerated separatist chief has escaped from his detention facility at the Department of State Services (DSS) in Abuja.
A report by DAILY POST quoted Ejimakor as saying earlier today, Friday, June 14, 2024: Its not true. I will be visiting him today by 2:00 pm. Kanu is a responsible and courageous freedom fighter and he is determined to stay put to fight the injustice within the system, not outside of it. He is too big to contemplate the option of escaping.
Online reports (News Express not included) had claimed that the IPOB supremo escaped from DSS custody with his case file yesterday Thursday.
The report captioned, ˜Breaking news: Nnamdi Kanu escapes from DSS custody with case file, said: According to reliable sources, Kanus escape was executed with meticulous planning and precision, catching the authorities off guard.
Details surrounding the escape remain murky, with speculation ranging from insider assistance to external support.
