The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced the dismissal of Nnamdi Kanu’s counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, stating that he is no longer representing Kanu’s legal interests. In a statement released on Tuesday, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, declared Ejimakor a persona non grata within the organization.

The decision to terminate Ejimakor’s role as Kanu’s counsel came after he made public statements suggesting that Simon Ekpa and his supporters were followers of Nnamdi Kanu. The statement from IPOB expressed dissatisfaction with Ejimakor’s assumption of any connection between Ekpa and the movement, stating that it amounts to playing the script of his sponsors.
According to Emma Powerful, Ejimakor was contracted to handle specific legal cases for Nnamdi Kanu but was not appointed as the legal representative of the entire Indigenous People of Biafra movement. He emphasized that Ejimakor is not a member of IPOB and has no authority or permission from the organization’s Directorate of State to speak on behalf of the movement.

The statement further criticized Ejimakor’s lack of knowledge about the inner workings and goals of IPOB, claiming that his actions were driven by personal motives rather than genuine concern for the movement’s objectives.
As the controversy unfolds, the public awaits further updates on how this development will affect the ongoing legal matters surrounding Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra.
